For Use at Low-temperature
When making use of conveyor chains at low-temperature such as within a refrigerator or within a cold environment, the next ailments may possibly come about.
1) Minimal temperature brittleness
On the whole, a materials is embrittled at low-temperature and shock resistance is lowered. This phenomenon is termed low-temperature brittleness, and also the degree of embrittlement differs from material to materials.
The support limit of the conveyor chain relies on its specifications.
two)Influence of freezing
At low-temperature, bending failure, roller rotation failure, fixing of chain, and so on. could be brought on from the freezing of penetrated water or deposited frost in the clearance in between pins and bushings, bushings and rollers or inner plates and outer plates. These situations bring about an overload to act around the chain and drive, diminishing the life on the chain.
To stop freezing, normally, it’s encouraged to fill the clearances having a low-temperature lubricant ideal to your services temperature to prevent water, frost, and so on. from penetrating the respective portions in the chain. For lubrication, a silicon based grease is advisable.
For Use at High-temperature
Chains power is diminished by high-temperature environment, direct conveying of high-temperature loads, or radiated heat, and so on. The service limit at high-temperature depends not to the temperature of your service setting but the temperature and materials of the chain physique.
Following ailments could happen when chains are utilized at high-temperature:
one) High temperature brittleness and fracture by lowered hardness of heat handled material
two) Brittleness brought about by carbide precipitation
3) Abnormal dress in by scale
4) Fatigue fracture triggered by repeated thermal shock (cooling and growth)
five) Abnormal dress in due to a rise within the coefficient of friction
six) Creep fracture
7) Fracture resulting from thermal fatigue of welded place
8) Effects brought on by thermal expansion
?Stiff back links and rotation failure resulting from decreased clearance ?Fatigue fracture resulting from lowered fitting 
force
9）Lubrication failure and stiff backlinks resulting from deterioration and carbonization of lubricating oil
Grease outstanding in heat resistance consist of these based on silicon, graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
For use at high-temperature, high-temperature resistance bearings and stainless steel bearings are advisable.
