Choosing the Right Bucket Elevator Round Link Chain: A Guide to DIN 764 and DIN 766 Standards

When it comes to selecting the appropriate bucket elevator round link chain, understanding the specifications and applications of DIN 764 and DIN 766 standards is crucial. These standards provide essential dimensions and performance characteristics that ensure the durability and efficiency of your bucket elevator system.

Understanding DIN 764 and DIN 766 Dimensions

DIN 764 and DIN 766 round link chains are widely used in various industrial applications, including bucket elevators (vertical chain conveyor) and scraper conveyor chains systems. The dimensions specified in these standards dictate the size, strength, and compatibility of the chains with different elevator designs. DIN 764 typically features a longer link inner length (link pitch) of 3.5 times diameter, such as 16x56mm chain links, 18x63mm chain links, 20x70mm chain links, 36x126mm chain links, etc., making it suitable for heavy-duty applications, while DIN 766 offers a more compact design for lighter loads, such as 16x45mm chain links, 18x50mm chain links, 20x56mm chain links, 26x73mm chain links, 36x101mm chain links, etc. Knowing the specific dimensions of these chains is vital for ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Applications of DIN 764 and DIN 766 Chains

Both DIN 764 and DIN 766 chains are versatile and can be employed in various industries, including agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. Their robust construction allows them to handle significant loads, making them ideal for bucket elevators that transport bulk materials. Understanding the specific applications of each chain type can help you make an informed decision based on your operational needs.

Chain Hardness Testing and Durability

One of the critical factors in selecting a bucket elevator round link chain is its durability. Chain hardness testing is essential to assess the material's resistance to wear and deformation. A chain that meets the hardness requirements outlined in DIN standards will typically exhibit greater durability, reducing the risk of failure and maintenance costs over time. SCIC round link chains for bucket elevators with case hardening treatment can reach link surface hardness 57-63 HRC and depth 0.09d, ensure chain links breaking force (tensile strength) upto 300-350N/mm2.

SCIC Premium Round Link Chain Brackets (chain shackles or chain bows) DIN 745 and DIN 5699 for Bucket Elevators

Our Round Link Chain Brackets (chain shackles or chain bows)  are manufactured in accordance with DIN 745 and DIN 5699 standards. This compliance ensures that our chain brackets can withstand the toughest conditions while maintaining structural integrity.

Hardness Testing: Each batch of our chain brackets undergoes rigorous hardness testing, with case hardening surface hardness upto 55-60 HRC and tensile strength 300-350N/mm2. This process enhances their resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Material Properties: Crafted from high-grade alloy steel materials such as 20CrNiMo, SAE8620 or 23MnNiMoCr54, our Round Link Chain Brackets exhibit exceptional strength and corrosion resistance and high service ambient temperature. This ensures longevity and reliability, even in the most challenging environments.

Size Guide for Optimal Selection: We provide a comprehensive size guide to help you select the perfect Round Link Chain Brackets for your specific bucket elevator needs, to suit round link chains DIN 764 such as 10x40mm, 13x45mm, 16x56mm, 18x63mm, 36x126mm, etc. This ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance, tailored to your operational requirements.

Selecting the right bucket elevator round link chains and chain brackets involves a thorough understanding of DIN 764, DIN 766, DIN 745 and DIN 5699 standards, their dimensions, applications, and the importance of chain hardness testing. By considering these factors, you can ensure the reliability and efficiency of your bucket elevator system, ultimately enhancing your operational productivity.
