Anomalies & Countermeasures

Phenomenon Cause Countermeasures
Wear to the inside of the link plate or one side of sprocket teeth Sprocket Alignment Failure Remove chain and repair sprocket centering
Chain is pressed sideway Use the guide roller and shoe to remove the cause of the press
Vibration of sprocket Replace with a new sprocket
Roller Rotation Failure Excessive load on roller Lubricate between the bush and roller. Selection of proper specifications (GT bearing, roller etc.)
Foreign substances enter the bush roller Protect the chain with partitions, Select wider specifications for bush-roller space
Foreign substances accumulate on the rail Protect chains with partitions
Bush-roller lubricant sticks to the rail or the roller surface Use proper lubrication and adjust lubricating method accordingly
Rust accumulation on bush or roller Use proper lubrication and adjust lubricating method accordingly
Bending Failure Rust Please consult with us if you want to protect the chain with partitions.
Foreign substances enter between pins and bushes or link plate. Protect the chain with partitions or pin bushes Make it a specification with a large gap between plates
Chain rides on a sprocket. Excessive Chain Sag Reduce slack in chain or insert tightener
Sprocket Wear Replace with new chains
Chain curls in to the sprocket or fail to move Chain and sprocket aren’t compatible Replace either chain or sprocket
Excessive overload Reduce the load (fit with shock absorbers etc.)
Chain is worn out and stretched Replace with new chains
Occurrence of chain "stick slip" surge Speed is too slow Adjust to higher speed
Other

Improve frame rigidity or choose a higher grade of chain

Select drive rollers with anti-surging specifications

Abrasion of sprocket tooth base and tooth pressing surface Insufficient sprocket teeth Increase the number of teeth in a sprocket
Others Use hardened sprockets or tooth replacement sprockets
Abrasion of plate holes and pins Excessive tension Mounting a piece to a sprocket
Lubricate both sides of the chain and sprocket.
Noise Insufficient lubrication between bush and roller

Lubricate sufficiently

Use bearing rollers and/or plastic rollers

Insufficient lubrication between the parts of sliding in pins and bushes. Properly lubricate target area
Collision between roller and sprocket Lubricate Uses resin roller the sprocket section sufficiently.
Uses resin roller
