Drive Chain Supplier describes how to maintain the chain:

1. The sprocket should not tilt or swing when installed on the shaft. In the same transmission assembly, the end faces of the two sprockets should be in the same plane. When the center distance of the sprocket is below 0, 5 meters, the deviation is allowed to be 1 mm; when the center distance of the sprocket is above 0, 5 meters, the deviation is allowed to 2 Mm. However, it is not allowed to rub the side of the sprocket teeth. If the two wheels offset too much, it is easy to cause chain disconnection and accelerated wear. It is necessary to pay attention to check and adjust the offset when changing the sprocket.
 
2. The tightness of the chain should be suitable. Too tight increases power consumption and bearings are easy to wear; too loose chain is easy to jump and fall off the chain. The tightness of the chain is as follows: Lift or press down from the middle of the chain, and the center distance between the two sprockets is about 2-3cm.
 
3. The new chain is too long or stretched after use, which is difficult to adjust. You can remove the chain link depending on the situation, but it must be an even number. The chain link should pass through the reverse side of the chain, the locking plate should be inserted outside, and the opening teeth of the locking plate should face the opposite direction of rotation.
 
4. After the sprocket is severely worn, the new sprocket and the new chain should be replaced at the same time to ensure good meshing. It is not possible to just change to a new chain or new sprocket alone. Otherwise it will cause poor meshing and accelerate the wear of the new chain or new sprocket. When the tooth surface of the sprocket wears to a certain level, it should be turned over and used in time. To extend the use time.
 
5. The old chain cannot be mixed with the local new chain, otherwise it is easy to have an impact in the transmission and break the chain.
 
6. The chain should be filled with lubricating oil in time during work. The lubricating oil must enter the matching gap between the roller and the inner sleeve to improve working conditions and reduce wear.
 
7. When the machine is stored for a long time, the chain should be removed and cleaned with kerosene or diesel oil, and then coated with oil or butter and stored in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
