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.

Note)
• The required power does not take into account the efficiency of the transmission mechanism. Please check the drive system you will be using.
- If the sprocket pitch circle diameter is not entered, the shaft rotation speed and total torque will not be calculated.
• The number of links is an estimate. When ordering, please determine the number based on the actual circumference of the conveyor chain route.
• The number of links will be for single strand. If you select multiple strand, you will need a number of links equal to No. of strands.
