Proceed to the final selection

Make sure that the load on the roller is below the values in the table above.
If this value is exceeded, change to a chain size that can tolerate the load and then proceed with the final selection.

There is a difference in the total mass of the transported items at the time of provisional selection.

PLEASE WAIT...

The selection has been completed. Please check the selection results below.

The provisionally selected model number does not have enough tension.
Change the provisionally selected chain size to a larger one and then perform the final selection.
