As an indispensable transport in modern buildings, the escalators is inseparable from a series of complex mechanical components, among which the escalator chain plays an important role.
I.Escalator chain features:
1. Strong wear resistance: Escalator chains are usually made of high-strength, high-wear-resistant alloy materials to with stand long-term friction and movement and extend service life.
2. Strength and stability: Sufficient strength and stability to support the movement of trails or platforms carrying passengers and cargo.
3. Precision manufacturing: Escalator chains need to be manufactured with precision to ensure accuracy and consistency in every link and connecting part of the chain to ensure smooth operation.
4. Tension device: Equipped with a tension device to adjust the tension of the chain, keep the chain tight during elevator operation, and reduce swing.
5. Safety design: The design of the escalator chain should take safety factors into consideration and use connection and support structures.
II. Function of Escalator main chain:
1. Transmission of power: The escalator chain transmits power through the motor to drive the movement of the escalator walkway or the elevator platform.
2. Support platform: The chain is connected to the gear and main driving wheel to support the escalator walkway or the elevator platform so that it can move smoothly.
3.Maintain stability: The movement of the escalator chain maintains the stability of the entire system and ensures smooth operation.
III.Escalator chain common problem:
1. Loose chain: Failure of the tension device or chain wear may cause the chain to become loose, affecting the normal operation of the system.
2. Chain wear: Long-term use may cause chain surface wear, so replace it in time to prevent chain breakage or failure.
3. Chain stuck: Insufficient lubrication or chain damage may cause stuck, affecting the normal operation of the escalator.
4. Escalator Chain rollers failure: Damage to the escalator chain rollers may affect the transmission, causing the escalator to fail to operate normally.
5. Poor lubrication: Regular lubrication and maintenance are required to reduce friction and wear and ensure the normal operation of the chain.
