500 Class Bucket Elevator Chain

A 500 class bucket elevator chain is a heavyweight, moderately priced chain capable of handling average loads at slow or intermediate speeds. It is proportionately cast for balance, strength, and long, efficient service. It is available in cottered construction, which means that the pins are held in place by a cotter pin. This type of construction is more durable than other types of construction, such as bushed construction.

The 500 class bucket elevator chain has a closed bearing construction, which means that the bearings are enclosed in a housing. This helps to protect the bearings from dirt and debris, which can extend their lifespan. The chain is also carefully cored for pitch accuracy, which means that the links are all the same length. This helps to ensure smooth operation of the chain.

The 500 class bucket elevator chain is available in a pitch range of 2.32 to 6.30 inches. The pitch is the distance between the centers of adjacent pins. The larger the pitch, the stronger the chain but the slower it will operate.
