Industrial Chain Guide: Find the Right Fit

Industrial chains are essential components in various mechanical systems, playing a crucial role in the transfer of power and movement across different applications. Selecting the right industrial chain for your needs is critical to ensuring efficient operation, reduced downtime, and overall machinery longevity. This guide will help you understand the different types of industrial chains, their applications, and how to choose the right one for your specific requirements.

Types of Industrial Chains

Roller Chains Description: Roller chains are one of the most common types of industrial chains. They consist of a series of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links, designed to transfer mechanical power in machinery. These chains are highly efficient and are available in various sizes and configurations. Applications: Used in conveyor belts, automotive engines, and industrial machinery.

Drag Chains Description: Drag chains, also known as cable carriers, are designed to protect and guide cables and hoses connected to moving automated machinery. They are flexible yet durable, ensuring that the cables and hoses do not become tangled or damaged during movement. Applications: Commonly used in robotics, automation systems, and heavy machinery.

Conveyor Chains Description: Conveyor chains are specifically designed for use in conveyor systems, providing a means to transport materials efficiently. These chains are built to handle heavy loads and operate continuously over long periods without excessive wear. Applications: Used in food processing, automotive manufacturing, and material handling industries.

Leaf Chains Description: Leaf chains are robust and designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Unlike roller chains, leaf chains consist of stacked plates, providing additional strength and resistance to wear. They are typically used in environments where high tensile strength is required. Applications: Ideal for forklifts, cranes, and other material handling equipment.

Silent Chains Description: Silent chains, also known as inverted tooth chains, are designed to reduce noise during operation. These chains feature teeth that engage with sprockets, allowing for smooth and quiet power transmission, making them ideal for applications where noise reduction is crucial. Applications: Used in timing devices, precision machinery, and automotive engines.

Modular Chains Description: Modular chains are made up of individual interlocking modules, allowing for easy assembly and customization. These chains are highly adaptable and can be used in a variety of applications, from conveyor systems to specialized machinery. Applications: Commonly used in the food and beverage industry, packaging, and manufacturing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Industrial Chains

Load Capacity The load capacity of the chain is one of the most critical factors to consider. Ensure the chain can handle the maximum load it will encounter during operation to avoid premature wear or failure.

Environment Consider the environment in which the chain will be used. Factors such as temperature, humidity, exposure to chemicals, and abrasives can affect the longevity and performance of the chain.

Speed of Operation The speed at which the chain will operate can impact its wear rate and overall performance. Chains designed for high-speed applications are typically made with more precise tolerances to reduce friction and wear.

Durability and Material The material of the chain plays a significant role in its durability. Stainless steel chains, for instance, are corrosion-resistant and ideal for harsh environments, while carbon steel chains may be more suitable for standard applications.

Maintenance Requirements Some chains require more frequent maintenance than others. Consider the ease of maintenance and lubrication needs when selecting a chain to ensure it aligns with your operational capabilities.

Noise Levels In environments where noise reduction is important, such as in manufacturing plants or residential areas, silent chains or chains with noise-dampening features should be considered.

Conclusion

Choosing the right industrial chain is vital for the efficient and reliable operation of your machinery. By understanding the different types of chains available and considering factors such as load capacity, environment, and maintenance requirements, you can select a chain that meets your specific needs. Proper selection and maintenance of industrial chains will not only enhance the performance of your machinery but also extend its lifespan, leading to cost savings and increased productivity. Whether you need a robust chain for heavy-duty lifting or a silent chain for noise-sensitive environments, there is a wide range of industrial chains available to suit every application.

"Nasir Mansoor has spent 40 years fighting for Pakistan’s workers. Whether demanding compensation on behalf of the hundreds of people who died in a devastating 2012 factory fire in Karachi or demonstrating against Pakistani suppliers to global fashion brands violating minimum wage rules, he’s battled many of the country’s widespread labor injustices.

Yet so far, little has improved, said Mansoor, who heads Pakistan’s National Trade Union Federation in Karachi... Regulations and trade protocols look good on paper, but they rarely trickle down to the factory level. “Nobody cares,” Mansoor said. “Not the government who makes commitments, not the brands, and not the suppliers. The workers are suffering.”

Change on the Horizon

But change might finally be on the horizon after Germany’s new Supply Chain Act came into force last year. As Europe’s largest economy and importer of clothing, Germany now requires certain companies to put risk-management systems in place to prevent, minimize, and eliminate human rights violations for workers across their entire global value chains. Signed into law by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in January 2023, the law covers issues such as forced labor, union-busting, and inadequate wages, for the first time giving legal power to protections that were previously based on voluntary commitments. Companies that violate the rules face fines of up to 8 million euros ($8.7 million)...

...As governments come to realize that a purely voluntary regimen produces limited results, there is now a growing global movement to ensure that companies are legally required to protect the people working at all stages of their supply chains.

The German law is just the latest example of these new due diligence rules—and it’s the one with the highest impact, given the size of the country’s market. A number of other Western countries have also adopted similar legislation in recent years, including France and Norway. A landmark European Union law that would mandate all member states to implement similar regulation is in the final stages of being greenlighted.

Although the United States has legislation to prevent forced labor in its global supply chains, such as the 2021 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, there are no federal laws that protect workers in other countries from abuses that fall short of forced labor. That said, a proposed New York state bill, the Fashion Act, would legally require most major U.S. and international brands to identify, prevent, and remediate human rights violations in their supply chain if passed, with noncompliance subject to fines. Since major fashion brands could hardly avoid selling their products in New York, the law would effectively put the United States on a similar legal level as Germany and France...

The Results So Far

As of January, Germany’s new law applies to any company with at least 1,000 employees in the country, which covers many of the world’s best-known fast fashion retailers, such as Zara and Primark. Since last January [Jan 2023], German authorities say they have received 71 complaints or notices of violations and conducted 650 of their own assessments, including evaluating companies’ risk management.

In Pakistan, the very existence of the German law was enough to spark action. Last year, Mansoor and other union representatives reached out to fashion brands that sourced some of their clothing in Pakistan to raise concerns about severe labor violations in garment factories. Just four months later, he and his colleagues found themselves in face-to-face meetings with several of those brands—a first in his 40-year career. “This is a big achievement,” he said. “Otherwise, [the brands] never sit with us. Even when the workers died in the factory fire, the brand never sat with us.” ...

With the help of Mansoor and Zehra Khan, the general secretary of the Home-Based Women Workers Federation, interviews with more than 350 garment workers revealed the severity of long-known issues.

Nearly all workers interviewed were paid less than a living wage, which was 67,200 Pakistan rupees (roughly $243) per month in 2022, according to the Asia Floor Wage Alliance. Nearly 30 percent were even paid below the legal minimum wage of 25,000 Pakistani rupees per month (roughly $90) for unskilled workers. Almost 100 percent had not been given a written employment contract, while more than three-quarters were either not registered with the social security system—a legal requirement—or didn’t know if they were.

When Mansoor, Khan, and some of the organizations raised the violations with seven global fashion brands implicated, they were pleasantly surprised. One German retailer reacted swiftly, asking its supplier where the violations had occurred to sign a 14-point memorandum of understanding to address the issues. (We’re unable to name the companies involved because negotiations are ongoing.) The factory complied, agreeing to respect minimum wages and provide contract letters, training on labor laws, and—for the first time—worker bonuses.

In February [2024], the factory registered an additional 400 workers with the social security system (up from roughly 100) and will continue to enroll more, according to Khan. “That is a huge number for us,” she said.

It’s had a knock-on effect, too. Four of the German brand’s other Pakistani suppliers are also willing to sign the memorandum, Khan noted, which could impact another 2,000 workers or so. “The law is opening up space for [the unions] to negotiate, to be heard, and to be taken seriously,” said Miriam Saage-Maass, the legal director at ECCHR.

Looking Forward with the EU

...Last month [in March 2024], EU member states finally approved a due diligence directive after long delays, during which the original draft was watered down. As it moves to the next stage—a vote in the European Parliament—before taking effect, critics argue that the rules are now too diluted and cover too few companies to be truly effective. Still, the fact that the EU is acting at all has been described as an important moment, and unionists such as Mansoor and Khan wait thousands of miles away with bated breath for the final outcome.

Solidarity from Europe is important, Khan said, and could change the lives of Pakistan’s workers. “The eyes and the ears of the people are looking to [the brands],” Mansoor said. “And they are being made accountable for their mistakes.”"
