Steel Pintle Chain 662 667H 667X 667XH 667K 667J 88K 88C 308C
The steel pintle chain gets its characteristic name from its design. A pintle is a pin or bolt, typically inserted into a socket-like cylindrical fitting known as a gudgeon. Applying this way of attachment to chain links allows pivoting or hinging connection to a second, similar component which builds up a solid yet flexible chain for conveying heavy material. Steel Pintle Chain consists of a barrel and link as a single casting. Each casting is then connected with a steel pin to the next forming a chain. The castings and linkage provide increased strength compared to other chains, allowing a wider range of applications.

▍Advantages of the Steel Pintle Chain
Steel Pintle chains have several benefits that allow them to be applicable to various cases involving considerable workload and corrosive-resistant material environments.
(1) Steel Pintle Chains Can Handle Abrasive Temperatures
Many agricultural and industrial applications require materials to handle harsh conditions while remaining efficient and with reduced wear. The simple design of steel pintle chains ensures minimal contact between the pin and changing gear surfaces. This feature reduces the seizure in the chain links due to constant grinding and scraping.
(2) High Strength To Withstand Heavy Shock Loads
Steel Pintle Chains are constructed in a manner that can handle sudden and drastic increases in load without breaking, even in cases when these shifts are high. This strength is helpful in highly abrasive applications like mining, where chain breakages can result in fatal accidents. These chains’ load threshold and flexibility enable them to apply in particular use cases.

(3) Provides Support for Conveying Material Over Long Lengths
In cases like palm oil and sugar milling — where you need to convey large amounts of materials over lengthy distances — sluggish movement or repairs along the conveyor line can halt and delay your work. Steel Pintle Chains give ample reinforcement to move these items efficiently and conveniently, enabling you to move materials quickly.
(4) Minimal Material Buildup Within Chain Links
When you constantly use some chains over time, dirt and matter can amass in the sprocket tooth pockets. To an extent, such buildup prevents the proper seating of the chain, resulting in an overload condition between the link and tooth. The open barrel construction of steel pintle chains keeps foreign materials from building up.
▍Steel Pintle Chain Direction of Travel
Unlike traditional roller chains, the pintle chain is designed to only run in one direction, which is illustrated in the image below.

▍Other Types of Pintle Chain
The benefits of using a pintle chain depend on the type of chain and the way it is used.
400 Class Pintle Chain
The 400 class pintle chains can be used in the same ways as steel detachable chains, but the sprockets don’t need to be changed. They can also hold much more weight than steel detachable chains. This class is also made of cast steel alloys that can handle corrosive and abrasive environments. Our 400-class pintle chains come standard with stainless steel cotters.
600 Class Pintle Chain
Pinch chains in the 600 class are strong and come at an affordable price. They are also made with an open barrel that keeps materials from getting stuck in the chain. This series can also be used in abrasive environments.
700 Class Pintle Chain
The 700-class pintle chains offer a lot of support and capabilities when it comes to moving or driving over long distances. Carbon steel, cast steel, stainless steel, and non-metallic plastics can be used to make these chains. They are used in sugar, wastewater, mining, and other industries.
800 Class Pintle Chain
An 800 class pintle chain is a very strong pintle chain that is often used in mining and other harsh environments. The benefits of these chains come from their special design, which keeps them from breaking under high shock loads and lets them work in situations that aren’t ideal for chains.
900 Class Pintle Chain
This type of pintle chain only comes in one size. Because it can withstand rough environments for long periods of time, it is mostly used in palm oil and sugar mills.

▍Steel Pintle Chain Applications
You can apply steel pintle chains to different systems. Most of these systems involve gathering, hauling, and transporting material. Pintle chains can handle such work because of their design and high strength.
Mechanized Farming
Practicing agriculture over large landscapes requires equipment for spreading, including fertilizers, seeds and manure. Steel pintle chains are used in such spreader applications mainly because they are less likely to have material buildup and do not need as much maintenance as other chains. Typically, the chains are used in conjunction with crossbars or slats for moving the material efficiently.
Conveyor Systems
A conveyor system refers to a piece of mechanical handling equipment that transports raw goods, products and other materials from one spot to another. For conveyor systems that involve moving heavy bulk material such as sand, grains and salt, steel pintle chains have high durability to handle these heavy loads for an extended period.
Wastewater Collection
Steel pintle chains are used in water treatment facilities on several conveying and drive applications that facilitate the process. These chains are used in wastewater facilities with their high resistance to corrosive environments.
