Inspection Checklist
Lubrication
- Manual: Carefully follow lubrication schedule.
- Drip: Inspect the filling of oiler cups and the rate of feed. Check that the feed cups are not clogged
and are properly positioned over the chain.
- Bath: Inspect the oil level and check that there is no sludge. Drain, flush, and refill the system as the
application requires.
- Automatic: Inspect grease lubrication reservoir and fill accordingly. Manually grease joints periodically
to ensure proper grease injection from system.
If the chains have not been lubricated properly, the joints may have a brownish (rusty) color. The pins
may also be roughened, grooved, or galled with a permanent staining of the material due to breakdown
of lubrication. Properly lubricated chains will not be discolored at the joints; they will appear brightly polished
with a high luster.
Check link plates and sides of sprocket teeth for wear, which indicates misalignment.
Check shaft and sprocket alignment to prevent wear.
The Pro-Align Laser Alignment System uses advanced laser technology to ensure precise chain-sprocket
interaction for maximum performance.
Check wear on the working faces of sprocket teeth.
These faces should develop a bright, polished appearance as the system runs. Scratches, galls, grooves,
or visible changes in tooth form may be caused by lubrication failure or overloading.
Check and adjust chain tension.
An elongation of three percent (3%) or more indicates that the chain is riding near its limit of allowable height
on the sprocket teeth. A gradual increase in chain length is the result of normal wear. A sudden increase in
slack indicates one or more of the following:
- Lubrication failure
- Excessive overloading or shock
- Displacement of shaft bearings
- Displacement or failure of take-ups
Check that the chain is free from dirt, grit, or other abrasive material.
Clean the chain periodically.
Check guides, tracks, and areas below the conveyor for buildup of dirt or material that will
cause interference or binding of the chain.
Entry and exit points of guides and tracks must permit the chain to pass with a minimum amount of impact
or interference. Check that chain tracks are not over-lubricated or contaminated, which can force the rollers
to slide rather than roll.
Inspect apron and pan bead openings.
If the beads have been wedged apart or otherwise distorted, fine material may bleed into moving parts and
cause excessive wear.

Smooth Bushings
Our carbon and alloy-steel bushings are carburized and casehardened using computer-controlled furnaces. The result is high
surface hardness for excellent wear resistance with a tough core.
We carefully control bushing dimensions to provide a uniform
bearing surface and precise sidebar fit so your system runs
smooth and strong. Stainless steel bushings are also available.
Bushing Styles
Precision-Manufactured Sidebars
Union manufactures sidebars to stand up to tough operating
conditions. Our standard sidebars feature special-grade carbon
or alloy steel for long-lasting performance. Heat-treated sidebars
provide even greater strength and durability. Stainless steel
sidebars withstand corrosive and high-temperature environments.
We carefully control pitch and hole size in every sidebar style to
ensure our chains and sprockets articulate correctly, extending
the life of both. A wide variety of attachments are also available
to meet your specific needs.

Uses
Suitable for heavy duty conditions; generally used in longer
pitch conveyors.
Adaptable to various service and operational conditions for
horizontal or incline applications as much as 35 degrees.
Advantages
Deep beads form a rigid pan for heavy loads on wide
conveyors.
Chain rollers permit return strand to roll on a track.
Through-rods and load deflection rail supports may be
used to prevent excessive chain loading under heavy
impact conditions.
Uses
Positive discharge aprons.
Adaptable to various service and operating conditions for horizontal or incline applications as much as 35 degrees.
Advantages
Higher angle of discharge reduces height of fall when unloading, reducing lump breakage.
Angular mounting of apron on chain helps resist rollback
motion of material on inclined conveyors.
Attachments
G-2 attachments (high sidebars with angles) contain material,
add strength, and function as moving pan ends.

G-2 Attachment
Attachment G-2 is simply an extra height chain sidebar with
attachment angle usually used as pan ends on style B and D
apron conveyors as shown on page 31. It can be furnished
with any chain in any reasonable height to suit requirements.
The attachment is designated by G-2 followed by
a hyphen and number giving overall height in inches. For
example, G-2-5 is a sidebar with overall height of 5". G-2-6 1/2
is a sidebar with overall height of 6 1/2".

Apron Conveyors
Move loose bulk materials like coal, lime, sand, stone, and
sugar cane along horizontal or inclined conveyors. Apron
Conveyors are especially useful as feeders to elevating
systems, for picking tables and loading booms, and for
long horizontal or inclined conveyors.
Create Custom Solutions
Our engineers will help you create a complete apron
conveyor system for your application, including the right
attachments, rollers, and lubrication packages to meet
your specific requirements.
Apron Conveyors from U.S. Tsubaki
Wide selection and styles.
Customized for your application.
Reliable, hassle-free operation.
Cost-efficient value for your investment.
Choosing Metal Thickness
Experience is usually the best guideline for specifying the
metal thickness for pans and aprons. Make sure you consider
the following points:
1. Number of chain strands to be used.
2. Required service life.
3. Manufacturing restrictions.
4. Weight of each apron support. Deflection must be limited
to prevent binding between overlapping pans.
5. Corrosive and abrasive properties of conveyed materials.

Style A
Uses
Handles fine abrasive materials on incline applications up to
35 degrees.
Longer pitch conveyors with two strands of chain mounted
below and close to the ends of the pans.
Advantages
Close-fitting members hold leakage to a minimum, protecting
the conveyor and avoiding damage when handling abrasives.
Travel
Uses
Adaptable for any pitch conveyor.
Most widely used style for horizontal or incline applications
up to 35 degrees.
Attachments
A-2, E-2, M-1 attachments are commonly used.
Advantages
More leakproof than other styles of apron conveyor.
With K attachments, the load is distributed evenly on
both chains.
Pan ends, when needed, fasten directly to apron and not
to chain.
Travel
Attachments
A attachments (one side of chain only) for long center
distances.
K attachments (both sides of chain) for short center
distances.

1. Quality Materials
Focus on profits, not
repairs. Union uses only
top-grade Special Bar
Quality steel, which means
our chains are built to last.
Choose from carbon-based
or alloy-based to suit your
application. Our global
engineering team can help you select the right chain and develop
innovative solutions to your design challenges.
2. Precision Manufacturing
State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques build outstanding
performance into every Union chain. Our ISO-certified facilities are
equipped for testing hardness, ductility, size specifications, and
average ultimate chain pull. You get chains with tight clearances
and optimum press fits for stronger, longer lasting operation.
3. Accurate Assembly
Whether you need new or replacement chain, you can count on
Union for consistent, reliable results. Weve developed special
production equipment to ensure that every Union chain meets
our exacting standards.
Hydraulic presses ensure proper set-down of chains
Tight tolerances and precise pitch control keep chains running
straight and true, eliminating the need for staggered-pin
construction
Accurate magnetic heating characteristics increase durability
by localizing heat within the pins
Precision die setting tools control assembly, generating
repeatable performance from every chain
Attachment chains built to your specifications maximize the
efficiency of your application
4. Quick Delivery
We keep a large inventory of the most widely used conveyor
chains in stock and ready for shipment. We also provide quick
turnarounds on chains made to order.* That means you get the
chain you need faster than ever before so you can keep
production rolling.
*Contact the Engineering Chain Division
for specific delivery information.
Maintenance Checkpoints
Checkpoints
Comments
Centering
A guide rail is essential to ensure proper centering of the conveyor. If centering is not accurate
(with no side guide rail), scrubbing of the sidebars will occur which results in shorter conveyor
chain life and/or possible chain failure.
When two or more sprockets are installed in a row, be sure to align the position of the sprocket
teeth. If the sprocket teeth are not properly aligned, the working load will not be equally divided
and will cause the chain to twist. To align sprockets quickly, easily, and effectively, contact U.S.
Tsubaki for information about the Pro-Align Laser Alignment System.
If take-ups on both sides are uneven, the conveyor chain will not engage smoothly with the
sprocket.
Maintain adequate chain slack. If chain tension is too high, loss of power will result. This is a
dangerous situation and, if too loose, the chain will climb the sprocket.
The first running of the system after installation should be made under no-load conditions. Run
the system through several cycles while listening for noises which may indicate obstructions
and/or problems within the system. After inspection, continuous operation may begin.
Stop the conveyor under no-load conditions to prevent remaining material from overloading the
system when the conveyor starts again.
Lubricate conveyor chain periodically. Lubrication of reducers, bearings, and other components
is also essential.
Parts fastened to the conveyor, such as buckets, aprons, slats, etc., may loosen due to vibration.
Fasten nuts and bolts securely and check periodically.
Chain slack varies per application. Regularly check and adjust the amount of chain slack based
on visual inspection during actual run and downtime. Consult troubleshooting guide when
required.
After installing the conveyor, prepare a record of the expected capacity to be conveyed, conveyor
speed, r.p.m. of main shaft, electric current, voltage, working horsepower, actual conveying
capacity, inspection date, lubricating date, details of troubles, etc. This record will serve as
protection against unexpected problems and will be helpful during maintenance and repairs.

! WARNING
USE CARE TO PREVENT INJURY
COMPLY WITH FOLLOWING TO AVOID
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
1. Guards must be provided on all chain and sprocket installations in accordance with provisions of ANSI/ASME B15.1 2000 Safety
Standards for Mechanical Power Transmission Apparatus, and ANSI/ASME B20.1 2000 Safety Standards for Conveyors and Related
Equipment, or other applicable safety standards. When revisions of these standards are published, the updated edition shall apply.
2. Always lock out the power switch before installing, removing, lubricating or servicing a chain system.
3. When connecting or disconnecting chain:
a. Eye protection is required. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves and safety shoes.
b. Support the chain to prevent uncontrolled movement of chain and parts.
c. Use of pressing equipment is suggested. Tools must be in good condition and properly used.
d. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect chain unless you understand chain construction, including the correct direction for pin/rivet
removal or insertion.
e. Do not attempt to rework damaged chains by replacing only the components obviously faulty. The entire chain may be compromised,
and it should be discarded.
4. Other cautions:
a. Alterations and Repairs to chains should be made only by qualified personnel with parts and components authorized by U.S. Tsubaki.
b. Electroplating of Assembled Chains is not condoned. Plating of assembled chains could result in failure from hydrogen embrittlement.
c. Inspect Chains for shipment damage before installation. During operation, all chain systems should be inspected on a regular schedule.
Visually check for worn, damaged and broken parts caused by improper installation or maintenance, abnormal stress, temperature,
humidity, abrasion or corrosion, possible interference with other system components and improper lubrication. (For correct lubrication
procedures and systems, see the Engineering Section.)
d. Heating Chain with a cutting torch is not suggested unless absolutely necessary for removal. If cut in such a manner, it should not be
reused.
e. Welding should not be performed on any chain or component.
f. Average Ultimate Strength of a chain means the average load at which it will break when subjected to a destructive tensile test. It
does not mean working load. For complete information, contact U.S. Tsubaki Engineering.
g. Product Dimensions in this catalog are subject to changes and are intended for general reference only. For exact current dimensions,
request certified prints from U.S. Tsubaki.
