Rivetless chain is available in the following sizes:
X698, X678, X 458 and X348. The larger the chain, the heavier the load it can
sustain. Heavy industrial chain applications will likely call for X678 chain,
which rides in 6-inch track and can have an ultimate tensile strength in excess
of 125,000 pounds. Light overhead conveyor facility may utilize X348 chain,
which goes into 4-inch track and typically has an ultimate tensile strength of
less than 40,000 pounds.
There are three main components of rivetless drop forged chain:
cast steel inner and outer links and heat-treated steel pins. This high
strength chain can be found in power and free overhead conveyor, car washes,
automotive manufacturing, vertical i beam trolley systems, as
well as general and overhead conveying systems.
