For Use at Low-temperature
When applying conveyor chains at low-temperature such as inside a fridge or in the cold atmosphere, the next conditions may perhaps happen.
one) Minimal temperature brittleness
Normally, a material is embrittled at low-temperature and shock resistance is lowered. This phenomenon is termed low-temperature brittleness, and also the degree of embrittlement differs from material to materials.
The service limit of a conveyor chain depends on its specs.
two)Influence of freezing
At low-temperature, bending failure, roller rotation failure, fixing of chain, and so on. can be brought on from the freezing of penetrated water or deposited frost within the clearance involving pins and bushings, bushings and rollers or inner plates and outer plates. These conditions trigger an overload to act on the chain and drive, diminishing the life of your chain.
To prevent freezing, in general, it truly is suggested to fill the clearances by using a low-temperature lubricant appropriate for the support 
temperature to prevent water, frost, etc. from penetrating the respective portions on the chain. For lubrication, a silicon primarily based grease is encouraged.
For Use at High-temperature
Chains strength is diminished by high-temperature ambiance, direct conveying of high-temperature loads, or radiated heat, and so on. The support limit at high-temperature depends not within the temperature of your support setting but the temperature and material from the chain body.
Following situations may come about when chains are used at high-temperature:
one) High temperature brittleness and fracture by lowered hardness of heat treated materials
2) Brittleness brought on by carbide precipitation
3) Abnormal wear by scale
four) Fatigue fracture brought on by repeated thermal shock (cooling and growth)
five) Abnormal put on because of a rise inside the coefficient of friction
6) Creep fracture
seven) Fracture resulting from thermal fatigue of welded region
8) Effects caused by thermal growth
?Stiff hyperlinks and rotation failure resulting from decreased clearance ?Fatigue fracture due to lowered fitting force
9）Lubrication failure and stiff hyperlinks as a consequence of deterioration and carbonization of lubricating oil
Grease superb in heat resistance include those determined by silicon, graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
For use at high-temperature, high-temperature resistance bearings and stainless steel bearings are advised.
