  • Page 73 BSS-134 CHAP.- 10 MAITENANCE E CLEANING 10.7.2 Extraordinary maintenance Chain transmission A chain transmission is used to transmit the movement between the two shafts of the same machine, as well as between an electric motor, or any other source of power, and an independent mechanism.
  • Page 74 BSS-134 CHAP.- 10 MAITENANCE E CLEANING Assembly of the chain Before assembling the chain, ensure that the alignment of the shafts has been carried out correctly and that subsequent amendments have not occurred. Dismantle the joining handle and wrap the chain on to the teethed wheels, so that the two ends slot in the tooth bottom of one of the pinions.
  • Page 75 BSS-134 CHAP.- 10 MAITENANCE E CLEANING Pinions The pinions are the toothed wheels on which the chains rotate, transmitting the movement. The life-span of a pinion is limited, it is therefore some times necessary to replace it. A pinion can be idle or motor.
