Small size conveyor chain

overview

Previously, for product transport, we were using chains with attachments (extension pins) by attaching another pin to the extension pin. However, to improve replacement time and durability, we adopted chains with specially designed attachments (extension pins).


Problem

The extension pins on the chains with attachments (standard length extension pins listed in the catalog) were shorter than the length we needed. As a result, after the chains were delivered, we had to attach other pins to the extension pins on-site. However, this caused deformation and breakage at the extended pins, shortening the chain's lifespan and leading to frequent replacements, which was a concern for us.

Furthermore, we wanted to improve the situation because each time the chains were delivered, additional processing was required on-site.


Adopted products

Integrated Attachment Chain

Integrated Attachment Chain is a chain with special attachments from Tsubaki, where the jigs and attachments that customers previously installed themselves are integrated into the chain itself.

We propose chains with specially shaped attachments that meet all of our customers' needs. By incorporating these specially shaped attachments during chain manufacturing, we reduce the time and effort required for jig production and installation, contributing to overall cost reduction.


Benefits of adopting the product

We were offered a chain with a special attachment (extension pin of a special length), and after adopting it, we were able to improve the durability of the extension pin section and reduce the frequency of chain replacement.

Furthermore, since the acquired chains can be directly attached to the device, no additional processing is required on-site, resulting in reduced labor costs, which I am very pleased with.


Tsubaki will do its utmost to support you in solving any problems you may have.
