Technical Data Chain Selection
For Use in Acidic or Alkali Environments
In acidic or alkali environments, stress
corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement,
intergranular corrosion, etc. are caused in
addition to common problems encountered
in other corrosive environments. Section "5-
4 Corrosion Resistance Against Various Substances" lists
the corrosion resistance of chain materials to various
substances.
Particularly, components made of 13Cr stainless steel
may rust depending on conditions.
For use in a corrosive environment, please let us know
the name and properties of the articles to be conveyed,
service conditions (temperature, load, etc.), materials of
parts used around the chain (rails, covers, tanks, etc.)
using the "Inquiry Sheet (Conveyor Chain)" on P344.
¡Lubrication intervals
It is a general rule to lubricate about once a week, but
depending on the conditions during operation and the
state of lubricating oil, lubricate as needed.
As lubrication methods, coating or drip lubrication is
recommended. As for the locations of lubrication, see
the following illustration.
For effective lubrication, clean the chain before
lubrication. Select a lubrication method suitable for the
specific service condition.

Chain life is extended by periodical
lubrication. Lubrication also reduces the
required power. However, note that, under
some service conditions, lubrication may
adversely affect the chain, or be regulated

¡Automatic lubrication (oiling) device
We have various automatic lubrication (oiling) devices.
Consult us if you are using chains in a setup where
lubrication is difficult or if you plan to automate
lubrication.
When Lubrication Is Not Possible
Lubrication is absolutely necessary for
extending the life of the chain. However,
under some conditions, lubrication may
not be practical.
Avoid lubrication in the following cases:
1) The chain is embedded in the loads (granular material,
powder, etc.).
2) Granular material and powder deposit on the chain
when carried by pan or apron conveyors. Here,
lubrication works adversely.
3) The chain temperature becomes high.
4) Conditions in which lubrication is prohibited by
regulations or laws.
When the chain cannot be lubricated or is being used to
convey food, we recommend using our resin, oilless or
stainless steel bearings.
For Use with Food
When using chains for driving or conveying
within a food processing machine,
especially when the food directly contacts
the chain, stainless steel is required by
FDA regulations.
Stainless steel chains (S3) made of 18-8 stainless steel
are recommended. We also manufacture chains with
neat appearance that give a clean impression designed
particularly for use with food products. Contact us for
more information.
