How does the conveyor chain work?

Machine manufacturing, transportation and other industries are inseparable from the chain, and the use of the transportation chain can be said to be the equipment for transporting materials with the chain as the traction and bearing carrier. So how does the conveyor chain work? Today, let's learn about it.

Conveyor Chain

How does the conveyor chain work?

The chain conveyor is on the bearing chain, and a higher idler attachment is added between the chain links to transport goods, while the conveying chain rolls and slides on the track with rollers.

Basic structure and characteristics of conveying chain:

Prime mover: the prime mover is the power source of the conveying chain and is generally driven by AC motor.

Transmission device: the motor is connected with the head shaft of the conveying chain through the transmission device, which can generally realize the functions of deceleration, mechanical speed regulation, safety protection and so on.

Lifting device: the main function of the lifting device is to pull down the tail axially.

Electric control equipment: the function of electric control equipment is mainly used to control transmission equipment.

The above is how the conveyor chain works and what stages of conveyor chain wear. I hope it will help you!
