Go to Selection Tool

Plastic modular chain straight running simple sizing tool

STEP 1. Preliminary chain selection

After deciding on the chain type and model, select the chain specifications and chain width from the drop-down list.

Chain type
Chain width (mm)
Specification Code

Tentative selection

Clear conditions

Tentatively selected chain
Chain basic model number

Chain Width	mm
Maximum allowable load	kN/m
Approximate chain mass	kg/m²
Allowable Speed	With lubrication	m/min
No lubrication	m/min

S1: Length of the conveying section	mm
S2: Length of the accumulation section	mm

STEP 3. Transported items

Please enter the following transport conditions or select from the drop-down list.

If the material of the transported item is not available, please select a similar one.

Material of conveyed goods
Size of the transported item	Cases, pallets, etc. Small items such as containers and parts
shape	rectangle Cylinder
Length of one piece in the conveying direction	mm
One chain width direction length	mm
Outer diameter	mm
Mass per piece	kg
Transport interval	mm

Note: This is for one piece per chain width.

Note: The transported items are arranged as close together as possible within the width of the chain.

Note: The transported items are arranged as close together as possible relative to the width of the chain.
Since it is circular, the conveying section and accumulating section are as shown in the figure.

Clear conditions

Chain speed V	m/min
Sprocket pitch diameter (optional) Dp	mm
Ambient temperature	℃
Rail material used
Lubrication status

STEP5. Selection results

Calculation result

Tension acting on the chain	F kN
Acting tension per 1m of chain width	F' kN/m
Maximum allowable load (Taking into account speed and temperature)	kN/m

Approximate chain mass	m1 kg/m
Approximate unit mass of chain	kg/m²
conveyor length (S1 + S2)	m
Length of conveying section	S1 m
Amount of material conveyed in the conveying section	m2 kg/m
Accumulation section length	S2 m
Amount of material transported in the accumulator	m3 kg/m
Dynamic friction coefficient between chain and wearstrip	μ1
Dynamic friction coefficient between the chain and the conveyed object in the accumulation section	μ2

Please consider the conveyor environment and other operating conditions when deciding on the chain type.

If Maximum allowable load is insufficient, you can increase the number of chains by narrowing the top plate width, or by connecting a shorter conveyor.
Alternatively, you can select a chain with a larger Maximum allowable load. When deciding on a chain type, take into consideration the conditions of use of the conveyor.

Required power	kW	= (F × V) / 60
Shaft rotation speed	min^-1	= (V × 1000) / (Dp × π)
Total Torque	kN・m	= F × (Dp / 1000) / 2
Approximate number of links	link	= (conveyor length x 2 + 1m) / chain pitch
