Engineering Notes
To provide the proper chain strength for your application, the above data illustrates the ultimate strength of the chain along with its recommended nominal working load. CDM uses a 5.5:1 safety ratio for proper application.
Once you have determined your chain speed and brake horsepower requirements, a simple formula (shown below) can be used for choosing the proper chain.
| Chain Pull Formula |
*do not use installed motor size |
For vertical conveyors, add the chain weight from the conveyor height to the figure derived from this formula.
Do not add the return chain to this figure. |
