Custom Order Policy- All conveyor chain purchases are custom orders and are final sales. To be certain you get the correct conveyor chain; we ask that you double check ALL measurements and fill in all the required fields prior to ordering. Be advised that by checking the box on the product order page, you understand that this is a custom order and cannot be returned for any reason.
Please download our Conveyor Chain Data Sheet via Support/Download Data Sheets, print it out and measure your conveyor chain as directed.
1. Center to Center Distance:
This is a critical dimension. Best measured from the inside of the narrow link to the outside of the narrow link as shown.
2. Chain Link Type/Pitch Size:
This measurement is defined as the distance from center pin to center pin of a single link. D662- 1.664", D667X- 2.250", D667K- 2.250", D88K- 2.609"
3. Bar Size:
1/4" x 3/4", 1/4" x 1", 1/4" x 1-1/2", 3/8" x 1-1/2", 1/2" x 1-1/2"
4. Bar Spacing:
Every Link, Every other link, Every third link, Every fourth Link
5. Length of Conveyor Bed:
This measurement is defined as the distance from the center of the drive shaft to the center of the idler shaft rounded up to the nearest foot. Ideally, this measurement should be taken with the idler shaft take-up adjusters fully reduced.
To determine the total length of chain needed, multiply this measurement by 2 and then add 2'. This will give you the appropriate length of chain needed in addition to a few extra links to keep on hand for making necessary repairs in the event of a chain failure or removal of a link.
Example:
A. Length of conveyor bed = 115"
B. Round up to 120" x 2 = 240" + 24" = 264" or Total Apron Length = 22'
