Transmission
This is a chain selection method taking deterioration of strength in relation to temperature into consideration. Please
use appropriate lubricant for the temperature at which the chain is to be used. Consult us for details.
1. Effects of temperature on the chains
1.1 Effects of high temperature
1) Increased wear caused by decrease in hardness
2) Increased elongation caused by softening
3) Lubricant degradation, defective flexion caused by
carbonization
4) Increase in wear and defective flexion caused by
development of scales
2. Kilowatt ratings according to temperature
1.2 Effects of low temperature
1) Decrease in resistance to shock caused by low
temperature brittleness.
2) Defective flexion caused by lubrication oil coagulation.
3) Defective flexion caused by adhesion of frost and ice.
4) Rusting caused by water-drops.

Please be aware that ambient temperature and the temperature of chains may differ.
3. Chain Selection according to Temperature
See slow-speed selection (p121) for use at extreme temperatures other than normal temperature.
(Chain speed=50m/min or less)
4. Use of Stainless Steel Chains (SS, SSK) at high temperatures
Stainless steel chains (SS, SSK) can be used up to 400°C, but be aware that the ambient temperature and the chain
temperature may differ. The strength of the chain decreases as the temperature rises. Especially at high
temperatures, the higher the temperature rises, the chain will rupture by a lower load (creep rupture).
In addition, defective flexion or defective chain revolution occurs due to heat expansion. In order to prevent such
problems, adjust the clearance between chains. Consult us when using chains at 400°C or higher.
Chains cannot be used at 700°C or higher.
