If your facility contains industrial conveyors or machines that employ automated power transmission applications, they likely employ more than a few industrial roller chains to move products or components through the line. While these chains are extremely durable and strong, Industrial Component Sales recommends instituting a thorough maintenance program to ensure your Senqcia Maxco roller chains last as long as possible.

As one of the Midwest's leading representatives of power transmission products including Senqcia Maxco LTD., their team of experts suggests:

• Regular Lubrication and: Dirt, excessive moisture, and metal-on-metal wear can quickly degrade your roller chain in a relatively short period of time. For most applications, a brief cleaning and a high-grade industrial lubricant without additives is safe and effective, providing the protection you need while being able to penetrate the gaps between rollers and bushings to reach the chain surface.
• Checking Sprockets Regularly: Worn, irregular sprockets can quickly decrease chain life in even a brand-new chain, which is why checking for uneven wear, climbing or grooving regularly is so important. Look for signs of wear along the sprocket teeth and check their alignment during every replacement. Even small adjustments in the sprocket alignment can help distribute the force more evenly, preventing excessive wear and allowing the entire system to function more effectively.
• Maintaining Correct Chain Tension: Industrial roller chains that are either too loose or too tight can lead to inefficient power distribution and even unsafe work conditions. Every time you check, lubricate, or maintain your equipment, avoid placing excessive tension on your chain.
