Conveyor Chains (FV Series) - A Reliable Solution for Heavy-Duty Applications

Conveyor chains, also known as transmission chains, are a vital component in many industrial settings. They are used to transmit power and motion between rotating shafts and are suitable for heavy-duty applications. One such chain that has become increasingly popular in recent years is the FV series chain.

History and Classification

The FV series chain was first introduced by Ever-power in the early 2000s and has since become a widely used transmission chain. It is made up of high-quality steel and is heat-treated to ensure maximum strength, durability, and wear resistance. The FV series chain is classified based on pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. The available pitch sizes range from 40mm to 630mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Advantages

• The FV series chain is designed to handle heavy loads and is highly reliable.
• It is suitable for high-speed applications, up to 25 m/s, making it ideal for conveyor systems.
• The chain is corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
• It can be used with sprockets of various sizes, providing flexibility in design.

Materials and Installation

The FV series chain is made from high-quality carbon steel, alloy steel or stainless steel. The most commonly used material is carbon steel, which is suitable for most applications. The chain can be installed using standard tools and techniques, and it is essential to ensure the correct tension and alignment to prevent premature wear and tear.

Maintenance and Replacement

Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and reliability of the FV series chain. Regular lubrication is necessary to reduce friction and prevent rusting. If the chain shows signs of wear, such as elongation or excessive wear on the pins and bushings, it is essential to replace it promptly to prevent damage to the machinery.
