Chain Manufacturing at Qingdao Hengxin Transmission Co., Ltd.
2026-09-16
Qingdao Hengxin Transmission Co., Ltd. is located in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Relying on the local machinery processing and equipment manufacturing supply chain, the company focuses on the production of transmission chains, conveyor chains, and custom chains. Its product range covers short-pitch precision roller chains, double-pitch conveyor chains, stainless steel chains, heavy-duty chains, elevator chains, and non-standard chains manufactured according to customer drawings or samples.
Chain production generally includes component machining, heat treatment, surface treatment, assembly and preloading, and final inspection. Chain plates are formed by pressing. Pins, bushings, and rollers are turned and heat-treated to improve hardness and wear resistance. Assembled chains are preloaded to reduce initial elongation and improve dimensional stability.
Quality control mainly depends on raw material quality, heat treatment consistency, and assembly accuracy. Incoming materials are sampled for chemical composition and hardness. During production, plate hole diameter and pin diameter tolerances are controlled. Finished chains are checked for chain length, flexibility, and breaking load. For humid, dusty, or acidic and alkaline environments, stainless steel chains or additional protective coatings can be selected.
| Chain type | Main features | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|
| Short-pitch precision roller chain | Stable load capacity, high transmission accuracy | Mechanical drives, agricultural machinery |
| Double-pitch conveyor chain | Longer pitch, convenient attachment mounting | Logistics conveying, assembly lines |
| Stainless steel chain | Corrosion resistance, easy cleaning | Food, pharmaceutical, water treatment |
| Custom chain | Produced according to drawings or samples | Automation equipment, special machinery |
These chains are used in agricultural machinery such as grain scraper chains and elevator chains, in food and packaging lines with stainless steel conveyor chains, in logistics systems with roller chains and suspension chains, and in chemical and building material applications with heavy-duty elevator chains. Non-standard chain plates are also supplied for automation equipment. Selection should consider load, speed, temperature, and corrosion conditions.
Users should define pitch, roller diameter, inner width, plate height, breaking load, working environment, and operating speed when selecting a chain. During installation, sprockets should be aligned to avoid eccentric loading and excessive tension. In daily use, chains should be lubricated regularly and debris should be removed from chain joints. If excessive elongation, cracked rollers, or worn pins are found, the chain should be replaced in time to extend the service life of the entire machine.
Through standard products and custom manufacturing, Qingdao Hengxin Transmission Co., Ltd. provides chain solutions for transmission and conveying applications. Its manufacturing and inspection capabilities support stable equipment operation in automation and material handling systems.
