CAN-AM Welded Steel Chains

CAN-AM Welded Steel Chains provide an economical and superior replacement for most cast chain applications. They will normally operate over the same sprockets and in the same channel as their cast chain equivalents. Besides being more economical, Welded Steel Chain has the advantages of:

• Greater Wear - simply turn chain over when worn on one side.
• Higher Ultimate Strength - Won't break as easily as malleable chains.
• Weldability - Need attachments? Simply weld them on to side-bars.

For higher impact strength and greater wear resistance, use fully heat treated or induction hardened chain.

Heat Treated and Induction Hardened

CAN-AM welded steel chains are available from stock with fully heat treated parts and/or induction hardened parts. For maximum chain life in severe applications including heavy impact loading, high speed requirements, capacity loads, or abrasive conditions, some or all of your CAN-AM chain will benefit from specific heat treatment.

Heat treating of CAN-AM steel chain will increase the wearability and prolong the life of your chain, thus reducing down time and minimizing maintenance problems. More Technical Information on heat treatment and induction hardening can be found in Maintenance & Technical Information.

Through Heat Treating and Induction Hardening

Used individually or combined, the two types of heat treating CAN-AM Chain can dramatically increase chain life.

IMPACT - Through heat treated chain (to the proper hardness) will improve impact strength two or three times.

STRENGTH - Heat treated sidebars will increased strength by 20-30%.

WEAR - In a non-abrasive environment heat treated chain will give up to 50% greater wear life. Reduction of elongation of side bar holes can be achieved by induction hardening the hole perimeter. In a non-abrasive environment, induction hardened chain will give several times greater wear life.

NOTE: Individual situations may vary wear life.

Induction hardening depth and R.C. range will vary to suit thickness of material, diameter of rivets and particular applications.
