Chain Protection
A new Renold chain should always be stored
in its box and/or bag until installation. Renold
chain is lubricated at the factory, but this
lubrication will not stand up to outdoor
conditions, particularly where there is a salt
water atmosphere.
Unprotected, lubricated chains will become
contaminated with grit and other materials
which will harm the chain and tend to clog
strainers, filters and oil lines. A roller chain is
a precision made series of bearings that will
perform best if handled and stored in correct
conditions.
Lubrication
Renold chain drives should be protected
against dirt and moisture and be lubricated
with good quality, non-detergent petroleum
based oil. A periodic change of oil is desirable
as already outlined. Heavy oils and greases are
generally too stiff to enter the chain working
surfaces and should not be used.
RENOLD
Care must be taken to ensure that the lubricant
reaches the bearing area of the chain. This can
Section 2
be done by directing the oil into the clearances
between the inner and outer link plates,
preferably at the point where the chain enters
the sprocket on the bottom strand.
The table below indicates the correct lubricant

This causes premature failure. Grease has
to be heated until fluid and the chain are
immersed and allowed to soak until all air
bubbles cease to rise. If this system is used
the chains need regular cleaning and
regreasing at intervals, depending on the
drives, power and speed.
Abnormal ambient temperatures

For elevated temperatures up to 250°C, dry
lubricants such as colloidal graphite or MoS2
in white spirit or poly-alkaline glycol carriers
are most suitable.
Conversely, at low temperatures between
-5° and -40°C, special low temperature initial
greases and subsequent oil lubricants are
necessary. Lubricant suppliers will give
recommendations.
With slinger disc lubrication, an oil bath is used

but the chain operates above the oil level. A
disc picks up oil from the sump and deposits
it on the chain by means of deflection plates.
When such discs are employed they should be
designed to have peripheral speeds between
180 to 2240 metre/min.
Type 4, Stream Lubrication

Section 2
A continuous supply of oil from a circulating

pump or central lubricating system is directed
onto the chain. It is important to ensure that
the spray holes from which the oil emerges are
in line with the chain edges. The spray pipe
should be positioned so that the oil is delivered
onto the chain just before it engages with the
driver sprocket.
This ensures that the lubricant is centrifuged
through the chain and assists in cushioning
roller impact on the sprocket teeth. Stream
lubrication also provides effective cooling and
impact damping at high speeds. It is, therefore,
important that the method of lubrication
specified is closely followed.
Effect of temperature
During operation an important factor to
control in a drive system is the chain and
chaincase temperature. Depending on the
severity of the drive service, continuity of
use, etc., special attention to the lubrication
method may be required.
Chain temperatures above 100°C should be In the case of extended pitch chains (e.g. Renold chain wear guide

Section 2
• Check that the newly fitted link articulates
freely in the adjacent inner links.
Chain length alterations

All drives should be designed wherever possible,
with sufficient overall adjustment to ensure
the use of an even number of pitches
throughout the useful life of the chain.
Cranked links should never be used on impulsive,
highly loaded or high speed chain drives.
In less arduous conditions where there is no
other solution and the use of a cranked link is
unavoidable, the diagrams show how length
alteration can be accomplished.
A chain having an even number of links
requires the incorporation of a cranked link
to effect an alteration of one pitch.
Chain having an odd number of links
incorporates a cranked link which must be
removed to effect an alteration of one pitch.
By removing the parts shown in dark shading
and substituting those in light shading a chain

No joint which relies on a press fit for assembly
should be reused after removal. A new joint
should always be employed.

Pitch Matching Transmission Drive Chains

Pitch matched chains are built up from shorter
subsections (usually 300 to 600mm lengths)
which are first measured and then graded for
length. All subsections in each grade are of
closely similar length and those forming any
one group across the set of chains are selected
from the same length grade.
The requisite number of groups are then
connected to form a pitch matched set of
chains, or alternatively, if this is too long for
convenient handling, a set of handling sections
for customer to assemble as a final set of pitch
matched chain. Suitable tags are fixed to the
chains to ensure they are connected together

Development of Early Roller/Bush Chain

As the industrial revolution gained pace, the
need for higher performance chain ensured
that the product did not stand still. A quick
look at the 1880 patent would give the
impression that there is no difference
between it and modern chain.
In concept, this is true. However, early chain
performance was very much constrained by
design knowledge, material sophistication and
production processes. For example, in order to
achieve a close tolerance on round parts, Hans
Renold also pioneered centreless grinding and
at one time had a whole section devoted to
grinding cold drawn bar to size before further
processing.

these components are stationary with respect
to each other during travel from one sprocket

very small angle when engaging with the Duplex Chain

This means that the pin/bush combination is
operating between the static and mixed friction
states and that lubrication will therefore be an
important aspect of system design.
Wear Factors Standard ISO 606 ANSI B29.100

As already shown, wear takes place from the
friction between the mating of the pin and
bush. The rate of wear is primarily determined Triplex Chain
by the bearing area and the specific pressure
on these surfaces. The hardened layers of the
pin and bush are eroded in such a way that
the chain will become elongated.
ELONGATION may amount to a MAXIMUM of
2% of the nominal length of the chain. Above
2% elongation, there can be problems with

• There is a steady load, preferably divided
evenly over the sprocket system.
• At linear speeds not higher than 1.5 m/sec.
• It is driven in one direction only.
The efficiency of this driving method is higher
than for the series drive because there is
reduced tooth contact.
Every drive needs special attention with regard
to the positioning of the driver sprocket, the
jockey and the reversing pinions. Figure 2

When corrosion, slipping or excessive wear

occur on transmission or mechanical handling
equipment used on steel processing lines
the equipment can quickly take a turn for
the worse, resulting in damaged product,
expensive maintenance and replacement costs.
That's why more and more steelmakers rely
on Renold Chain to help their equipment last
longer and operate more efficiently.
Temper Mill
Renold are helping to improve equipment
performance and are reducing maintenance
requirements right down the line. Wherever
the destructive forces of high speed operation
exist, from cold reduction mills to hot dip
coating lines, steelmakers around the world
insist on Renold Chain.
