Lifting chain as an essential and important device for cranes


1. The tightness of the lifting chain should be appropriate, too tight to increase power consumption, bearing easy to wear; too loose chain is easy to jump and off the chain. The degree of tightness of the chain is: lifting or pressing down from the middle of the chain, and the center distance between the two sprockets is about 2%-3%.
2. The new lifting chain is too long or stretched after use, it is difficult to adjust. The chain links can be removed depending on the situation, but it must be an even number. The chain link should pass through the back of the chain, the locking plate should be inserted outside, and the opening of the locking plate should be in the opposite direction of rotation.
3. The old lifting chain can not be mixed with some new chains, otherwise it is easy to produce impact in the transmission and break the chain.
4. The lifting chain should remember to add lubricating oil in time during work. The lubricating oil must enter the matching gap between the roller and the inner sleeve in order to improve the working conditions and reduce wear.
