If you want to design a new stainless steel chain line,how to choose the chain?
Below factors need consideration:
1. the application requirement, like terms of load capacity, speed,environment (temperature, humidity, chemicals) and operational conditions.
2. Select the suitable stainless steel chain pitch size and type.
3. Material selection: Stainless steel chains are available in various grades, such as 304, 316, and 17-4PH stainless steel. Consider the level of corrosion resistance required for the specific application.
4. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the chain, considering factors such as initial purchase cost, maintenance requirements, and expected lifespan.
