This often means that we buy and use standard parts when designing or upgrading a system as they tend to offer the best value at the point of contact. They are of a consistent and specified quality, and for the most part they meet our needs well. In fact, we are so used to going for the standard option that there can be a reluctance to consider custom solutions &#8211; but sometimes bespoke is better.<\/p>\n<p>Both conveyor and drive chains can be defined as \u2018critical\u2019 in applications where their failure would bring productivity to a halt.

In truth the list of environmental considerations is practically never-ending as technologies progress.<\/p>\n<p>To meet all these needs Tsubaki has solutions based on lube-free chains, chains made from stainless steel and other high-performance materials, corrosion resistant chains, special coatings to inhibit corrosive attack by specific chemicals, non-standard chain geometry, special lubricants, heavy duty lubricants, etc. Tsubaki\u2019s engineering team is on hand to match solutions to needs and thereby develop custom chains for particular applications.<\/p>\n<p>In conveyor chain applications, the attachments are as important as the chain itself. While Tsubaki has a wide range of standard attachments, it is also capable to design special solutions that meet particular needs. These could be based on pins, plates, special profiles, fittings etc. and could be made from a wide range of metals, engineering plastics, or other materials.<\/p>\n<p>One approach that <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/7315-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tsubaki<\/a><\/span> often uses, particularly with conveyor chain, is to vary the pitch of the chain. Also, it is notable that there are DIN and ISO standards for conveyor chain, but these do not cover every eventuality. Therefore, we have also developed Tsubaki in-house standards in an effort to capitalise on the knowledge we acquire with each new custom project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask the experts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Industrial chain is often considered a commodity product that serves as a means to an end. As engineers it\u2019s logical to assume that a standard, cost-effective solutions should be specified while attention is paid to the more complex components that surround it.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tsubaki has shown time and again that correctly specified chain can improve service life many times. Speaking to a product expert and investigating the possibilities afforded by the latest chain technologies can eliminate unexpected stoppages, reduce maintenance costs and minimise downtime \u2013 which will greatly reduce the Total Cost of Ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Peter de Blok is Sales Manager EMEA for <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tsubaki.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tsubakimoto Europe B.V.<\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many machines are completely reliant upon chains for their operation, so it makes sense to use the best chain possible and to get specialist advice when specifying a new or replacement chain.
