Drop-forged Overhead Conveyor Chain

Drop forged overhead conveyor chain We know the widely used 5T UH-5075 overhead chain has been out there for over sixty years, but its design carries inherent flaws when running on continuous lines. The contact between drive gear and chain buckle arc creates downward pressure, which wears down the drive pressing plate and bottom plate quickly. Its complicated assembly also brings bigger tolerance drift, hard fitting work and shorter service life on site.

We reworked the whole structure for this new UH-7075 5T cross type overhead chain. It's not just a shape upgrade; the core mechanical performance gets a solid lift.

It fits all your existing 5T accessories perfectly. The drive unit, horizontal curves, vertical curves and hangers you already stock can match this chain 100%, no need to modify your current conveyor layout.

We redesigned the steering part with forged cross-head as the main turning component. This universal structure keeps the chain from twisting or offsetting when running through horizontal and vertical bends, cutting friction and wear during long shifts.

Except chain wheels and rivets that do not bear tensile load, nearly all working parts adopt S45C medium carbon steel and quenched. The chain resists deformation under heavy tension, and permanent elongation is reduced by roughly 50% compared to the old version.

The driving force route is optimized too. It lowers the stress on each component along the transmission direction. The drive gear pushes the chain more smoothly, so the whole line runs steadily, saves power, and the drive unit also lasts longer.

We shaved 8% off the total weight while keeping load capacity. Less chain weight means lighter load on the conveyor motor, lower power consumption. This new chain meets modern energy saving and emission requirements, and it has proven reliable for painting shops, assembly workshops and heavy-load overhead conveying lines.
