INSTANT AND EASY DEVICE
To Measure Chain Wear in Seconds
TSUBAKI CHAIN WEAR INDICATOR
The interpretation of what chain wear elongation (“stretch”) is and how it can be accurately measured is a common issue when determining chain wear. Some customers utilize tape measures to determine chain stretch, while others use their own internal best practices and estimates to determine if the life of the chain has exhausted. Tsubaki Chain Wear Indicators are designed to measure roller chain condition and determine critical wear. The indicator tools are made of high-quality material to withstand harsh and corrosive environments. The strong construction of the indicator tools ensures accurate measurements of the chains every time.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE 01
ANSI STANDARD
Use the chain wear indicators according to regular plant maintenance schedules Always measure the chain at several key areas; chain typically does not wear evenly, and measuring in multiple areas will provide the most accurate measurements Replacing the chain before reaching 1.5%-2% elongation will prevent significant sprocket wear, thus preventing costly downtime
