Hollow Pin Conveyor Chains（MC Series）

MC Series Hollow Pin Conveyor Chains are metric conveyor chains compliant with ISO 1977 and DIN 8167 standards, featuring hollow pins as their core design element for easy attachment mounting and flexible customization in material handling applications.

Core Structure & Design

• Structure: Consists of chain plates, hollow pins, bushings, and optional rollers (standard, large, flanged, or S-type small rollers). Hollow pins enable direct insertion of crossbars, attachments, or rods without disassembling the chain.

• Key Design Advantages:

• Attachment Flexibility: Mount accessories at any link position, adjustable without chain disassembly.

• Modular Customization: Compatible with various roller types and attachments for diverse conveying needs.

• Standard Compliance: Meets ISO 1977 and DIN 8167 for interchangeability and reliability.

Core Features

1. Superior Customizability: Hollow pins allow quick attachment/detachment of crossbars, brackets, or fixtures, ideal for variable product sizes or layouts.

2. Efficient Maintenance: Replace or adjust attachments without chain teardown, reducing downtime and labor costs.

3. Balanced Load Capacity: Engineered for long distances and low-to-medium speeds, with high wear resistance and fatigue strength.

4. Material Versatility: Available in carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel (SS) for corrosion resistance in food, chemical, or outdoor environments.

5. Low Noise & Vibration: Precision components ensure smooth engagement with sprockets, minimizing operational noise.

Typical Applications

• Material Handling: Assembly lines, automated production, and logistics sorting systems (warehouses, ports, airports).

• Food Processing: Stainless steel variants for hygienic conveying of food products.

• Heavy Industry: Cement clinker pan conveyors, mining ore transport, and wood processing lines.

• Packaging Machinery: Conveying and packaging operations in high-volume production lines.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Installation:

• Align sprockets to ensure proper chain engagement; avoid misalignment to prevent premature wear.

• Secure attachments tightly to hollow pins using cotter pins or locking clips for stability.

2. Maintenance:

• Lubricate regularly with appropriate oils/greases (use food-grade lubricants for food applications).

• Inspect hollow pins for cracks or wear; replace damaged pins promptly to prevent chain failure.

• Check tension periodically; adjust as needed to maintain optimal performance.
