| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Circumferential Wear of Plate |
Wear | Replace the chain if wear is or exceeds 5% of original side-plate height. |
Oblique Wear of Plate and Pin Head |
Misalignment of Guide or Pulleys | Re-Align Machine |
Stiff Link |
Dust or foreign substances are contained in a bending portion corrosion and rust Bent Pin |
Wash Chain and Lubricate Replace the Chain Replace the Chain |
Abnormal Protrusion or Rotation of Pin Head |
Excessive Tension by Overload or Insufficient Lubrication | Replace the chain, lubricate, and eliminate overload |
Wear Elongation |
This occurs with normal wear over time or can be the result of a permanent deformation due to overload. | Replace the chain when its length becomes 1.03L. Note: Wear elongation of a chain will lower its tensile strength (wear elongation of 3% lowers the tensile strength by 18%) The wear life of the chain can be increased by using lubrication. |
Cracked Plate (1) where the crack from hole of a link plate in the direction perpendicular to tension direction. |
Load exceeding the allowable tension of chain | Replace the chain with a chain of higher maximum allowable tension, or lower the load of dynamic shock load. |
Cracked Plate (2) where the crack takes place in an oblique direction against tension direction |
Heavy rust or corrosion to a corrosive material. | Replace the chain and protect it from corrosive circumstances. |
Broken Plate by High Tension |
Overload | Replace the chain and eliminate the cause of overload. |
Enlarged plate hole |
Overload | Replace the chain and eliminate the cause of overload. |
| Corrosion of pit |
Corrosive Circumstances | Replace the chain, and protect from corrosive circumstances |
| Wear of Connecting Pin |
Normal Wear | Replace the Worn Component |
Leaf Chain Breakers
At USA Roller Chain we supply leaf chain breakers to a range of customers and offer two different styles. For more information or quotes please contact us.The Hand-Held Breaker:
This hand-held unit is easy to use, made from high-grade tool steel, and completely presses the pins through the chain for seamless and easy disassembly.
Stationary Leaf Chain Breaker:
This German manufactured stationary leaf chain breaker is made for all-day every-day leaf chain breaking. It's supplied with ANSI die sets for almost every leaf chain size out there!
Leaf Chain Lubricant
Lubrication is essential to leaf chain operation and extending the life of the leaf chain. We supply a broad range of chain lubricants for any application.
Leaf Chain Connecting Links
Connecting links are also commonly called master links, they are manufactured for connecting two ends of the chain together.
Sharp Top Roller Chain
The formula for successfully running a sawmill/lumber mill is simple. Run at the highest speed possible with the smallest margin of error, waste, and downtime. As a world-class supplier of premium quality industrial components and knowledge, we like to play our part in your success by setting the bar of expectations when it comes to a high-quality product and industry-leading customer service. Our sharp top roller chains are one of the many products that we are confident will not disappoint, and have become one of the widest used chains in forestry and lumber applications. It utilizes a uniquely engineered design that allows the chain to physically grip onto the lumber or product to pull it along as a conveyor. Because of the application types that sharp top chains are used in our chains have been manufactured to the utmost premium stands while remaining competitively priced without corner cutting. Using a low-quality chain has proven negative side effects on sprockets, productivity, and other components in your conveyor system thus affecting your bottom line! These sharp top chains are manufactured to meet and exceed the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B29.1 for American chain sizes, and ISO Metric British Standards for metric sharp top chains. At USA Roller Chain and Sprockets we are proud to offer a chain with industry-leading technologies implemented, cold forged solid components, and the most requested designs in the industry.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Circumferential Wear of Plate |
Wear | Replace the chain if wear is or exceeds 5% of original side-plate height. |
| Oblique Wear of Plate and Pin Head |
Misalignment of Guide or Pulleys | Re-Align Machine |
| Stiff Link |
Dust or foreign substances are contained in a bending portion corrosion and rust Bent Pin |
Wash Chain and Lubricate Replace the Chain Replace the Chain |
| Abnormal Protrusion or Rotation of Pin Head |
Excessive Tension by Overload or Insufficient Lubrication | Replace the chain, lubricate, and eliminate overload |
| Wear Elongation |
This occurs with normal wear over time or can be the result of a permanent deformation due to overload. | Replace the chain when its length becomes 1.03L. Note: Wear elongation of a chain will lower its tensile strength (wear elongation of 3% lowers the tensile strength by 18%) The wear life of the chain can be increased by using lubrication. |
| Cracked Plate (1) where the crack from hole of a link plate in the direction perpendicular to tension direction. |
Load exceeding the allowable tension of chain | Replace the chain with a chain of higher maximum allowable tension, or lower the load of dynamic shock load. |
| Cracked Plate (2) where the crack takes place in an oblique direction against tension direction |
Heavy rust or corrosion to a corrosive material. | Replace the chain and protect it from corrosive circumstances. |
| Broken Plate by High Tension |
Overload | Replace the chain and eliminate the cause of overload. |
| Enlarged plate hole |
Overload | Replace the chain and eliminate the cause of overload. |
| Corrosion of pit |
Corrosive Circumstances | Replace the chain, and protect from corrosive circumstances |
| Wear of Connecting Pin |
Normal Wear | Replace the Worn Component |
