Escalator step chains
● Escalator step chain is used in escalator and moving sidewalk systems to transmit power and transport passengers. It is widely used in escalator facilities such as the subway, high-speed rail, airports, shopping malls, and supermarkets.
● Advanced processing and manufacturing technologies such as special structural design and new chain plate blanking are adopted, which have the characteristics of high step distance accuracy, step distance synchronization accuracy, and chain length synchronization accuracy, and meet the requirements of stable operation, safety, reliability, environmental resistance and long service life.
● Fully cover the ladder chain products used in the escalator industry, and independently develop high-end products with unique structures such as oil cup type and self-lubricating type. Product pitch range: 67mm~136mm, breaking load range: 60kN~1100kN.
Escalator step chain is a very important part of escalator or moving walk.

Selection of chain drive power
The standard of "Guidelines for the Selection of Roller Chain Drives"(GB/T 18150-2006 / ISO 10823:2004) has been issued. If you try to calculate the actual transmission power of the chain, you must consider revising the transmission power of the driving sprocket (input power).
Actual power(Corrected power)=input power × service factor × teeth factor Service factor is listed in the following table.
Teeth factor = (19/Zs)1.08 (Zs—tooth number of the small sprocket)

Chain factories with a long history in the world have their chain transmission power rating graph and power diagram. We can refer to the GB/T 18150-2006 / ISO 10823:2004 standard selecting the drive power or selecting the chain according to the drive power, the condition is that we should know the tooth number of the small sprocket and its speed. Only if the actual power is within the range of rating power of the power rating graph, the selected chain is suitable.
Now we use the transmission part in the walking tractor and the transmission power in rotary tillage to prove whether the chain selection is correct.
■ Chain drive part
■ Chain drive part
Small sprocket speed ns=1351 r/min Tooth number of small sprocket Zs=14
Actual power (Corrected power)=10.944hp=8.16kW
From the B series horsepower rating graph, you will find that the selected 08B-2 chain is suitable.
■ Ratar y tillage chain part
■ Ratar y tillage chain part
Small sprocket speed ns=199 r/min Tooth number of small sprocket Zs=13
Actual power (Corrected power)=9.888hp=7.37kW
From the A series horsepower rating graph, you will find selected 12A-2 chain is unsuitable. You should choose a 16A-1 or 60H-2 heavy-duty roller chain instead of 12A-2.

Maintenance for Roller Chain Drive
t’s very practical to illustrate the convention- al maintenance of roller chain drive because of its wide application in industry. Better maintenance, less failure. In practice, only following some simple maintenance principals, we can easily save costs and make its service life longer, and then making the operation more efficient.

1.Each sprocket in the driving system should have good coplanarity and the chain path should always be smooth.
2.The sagging of chain loose side should be suitable and for the adjustable center distance level and angle drive, the sagging should be 1%~2% of the center distance. For conditions of vertical drive and under vibration load、reverse drive and dynamic brake ,the sagging should be smaller. It’s very important to check and adjust the loose side sagging frequently in the chain drive maintenance.
3.Good lubrication is also very important. Whichever lubrication method you choose, the most important thing is to make the lubricating grease distribute evenly in each chain joint clearance. If not necessary, avoid selecting big viscosity heavy oil or lubricating grease since it will jam the clearances gone to joints friction surface with dust after a period of time. Periodi- cally clean the roller chain and check its lubrication condition frequently. Disassembly the pin and bush, if necessary. If the friction surface is brown or dust color, it may be caused by insufficient lubrication.
4.Chains and sprockets should be always in good condition.
5.Frequently check the working surface of sprocket teeth ,adjust or replace it when it’s excessively worn.
