Forged
Forged rivetless chain is the most often used on trolley
conveyors. With high strength-to-weight ratio and capability to
flex both horizontally and vertically, and ability to be assembled
without tools and remain assembled in service, all contribute to
make this type of chain the logical choice for long service with
minimum maintenance cost.
All chain parts are drop steel for maximum strength. Special
alloys are available and chain parts can be heat treated and
magnafluxed, if required. Pins are placed through the center link
and held in position by notches in the side bars when they are
installed. Symmetrical design of the pin allows for 180° rotation
if new wear surfaces should be required.
The improved “X” type chain is recommended for overhead trolley
conveyors. This type is heat treated for greater strength and wear
properties, and the modified center link design has superior
flexibility for negotiating vertical curves.

* Nominal pitch shown is theoretical. Actual average pitch for drop forged chain of this type is slightly larger and can be considered to be nominal pitch plus Zcx. Consult Anchor Conveyor if more specific information is required.
Use of various special chain pins and attachments which operate
without trolley support can greatly increase the number of parts
conveyed. Most attachments illustrated are designed to replace the
standard pin. When used as intermediate load supports for overhead
trolley applications, care should be taken to assure that the
loads are light enough to avoid chain sag and binding.
The master pin shown is a substitute for the standard chain pin
and allows chain assembly or dis-assembly under tension.
Chain-on-edge floor type attachments are also included in the
grouping below.
