12、ormation: Lubrication and Maintenance 15iiiFOREWORDFor many years, roller chain manufacturers have furnished a substantial volume of chainsconsisting of link plates assembled on pins without the use of bushings and rollers. These chainsprovide relatively high strength per unit of weight and have fou

13、nd wide usage where sprocketsare not required and high-speed power transmission characteristics are not needed.Previously, variation in link plate thickness, link plate contour, diameter of pins, and the methodof lacing limited its interchangeability and restricted its use. For these reasons the Ass

14、ociationof Roller and Silent Chain Manufacturers appointed a task subcommittee on September 21, 1951to develop this Standard.The scope of the resultant Standard covers the lacing, pin diameter, diameter of link plateholes, link plate contour and thickness, chain widths, and minimum ultimate tensile

15、strengths.The Standard also recommends clevis and sheave design. Supplementary information to guideusers in the application of these chains appeared in the 1958 edition and was deleted in 1960.The 1971 reaffirmation was approved by the American National Standards Institute onSeptember 10, 1971.Prior

16、 to 1975, all B29.8 leaf chain standards included both Type A and Type B leaf chain designs.Type A, the lighter series, was characterized by even or balanced lacing, while Type B, the heavierseries, was shown only with uneven or unbalanced lacing of chain links.During the decade preceding 1975, it b

17、ecame increasingly apparent that the use of Type A leafchain was declining and that it was being used primarily for replacement. Most new designapplications used the heavier Type B design either with the standard uneven lacing or with evenlacing, which was shown as standard only for Type A leaf chai

18、n. The increased use of Type Bchain and the desire to simplify chain standards led the American Chain Association to undertakea revision of B29.8 to:(a) eliminate Type A leaf chain from the standard;(b) add even lacing (balanced) to the Type B chain series;(c) include a 212in. pitch chain to the lis

19、t of Type B chain.These revisions were subsequently included in ANSI B29.8-1977 and approved by the AmericanNational Standards Institute on May 4, 1977.In tabulating dimensional information in this Standard, customary inch-pound units have beenused. Additionally, companion tabulations have been incl

20、uded that provide metric (S.I.) unitconversions of these values in accordance with SI-1, ASME Orientation and Guide for Use of SI(Metric) Units. Certain formulas and relationships have intentionally been presented only incustomary units to eliminate ambiguity between them and the tabulated values.Re

21、visions incorporated in ANSI/ASME B29.8M-1985 provided additional information on clev-ises, clevis pins, minimum sheave size, and lubrication.Revisions incorporated in ASME B29.8M-1993 included changes in format, restatement of thedefinition of Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength and, most notably, mi

22、nor changes in the standardvalues for maximum pin diameter and the minimum hole diameter. The dimensional changeswere required to allow a direct, error-free conversion between conventional units (inches) andmetric units (millimeters).Revisions incorporated in ASME B29.8-2002 include the elimination

23、of 8H115478 lacing. Tables 1and 2 were revised to show minimum width between outside plates (Lm) and Tables 4 and 5were revised to show the dimensions for an inside clevis. An appendix was added containinginformation on lubrication and maintenance, connect and disconnect, and general inspectioncrite

24、ria. Preload and manufacturers identification marking were added in compliance with therequirements of ISO 4347.Revisions incorporated in ASME B29.8-2010 include upside down rotation of Fig. 1, deletionof the Lmterm and its definition in para. 1.3 and Fig. 3. Also changed is the final sentence ofpar

25、a. 1.4 concerning manufacturers responsibility for ensuring that their chains are properlyconnected; deletion of columns headed “Lm” from Tables 1 and 2; and in Table 1 correcting theWmaxvalues from the BL-5xx chains (the prior values were identical to those for BL-4xx chains).This Standard was appr

Typicalassemblies are depicted in Fi

32、gs. 1 and 2.1.2 Numbering and Marking SystemThe chain described in this Standard shall carry theprefix BL. The last two digits of the number followingthe prefix denote the lacing. The right-hand digit desig-nates the number of link plates in the articulating pitch.The digit to the left of this desig

33、nates the number ofplates in the pin link pitch. The digits to the left of thosetwo digits denote the number of eighths of an inch inthe chain pitch.EXAMPLE: BL523 indicates Type BL leaf chain,58in. pitch witha2H11547 3 lacing; that is, two plates in the pin link pitch and threeplates in the articul

37、hangeability and compa-tibility with standard design clevises. It is recommendedthat these dimensions be considered for actual minimumand maximum limits. Manufacturers are responsible forensuring that their chains properly connect to the corres-ponding standard clevises.NOTE: Chains from different m

38、anufacturers must never beplaced together within the same application.1.5 Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength (MUTS)Minimum ultimate tensile strength (MUTS), for chaincovered by this Standard, is the minimum force at whichan unused, undamaged chain could fail when subjectedto a single tensile loading

39、test.WARNING: The MUTS is not a “working load.” The MUTSgreatly exceeds the maximum force that may be safely appliedto the chain.(a) Test Procedure. A tensile force is slowly applied,in a uniaxial direction, to the ends of the chain sample.(b) The tensile test is a destructive test. Even thoughthe c

40、hain may not visibly fail when subjected to theMUTS, it will have been damaged and will be unfit forservice.1.6 Tolerance for Chain LengthNew chains may have a tolerance of 0.031 in./ft(2.58 mm/m) when measured under standard measur-ing load as outlined in para. 1.7.1.7 Measuring LoadThis is the loa

41、d under which a chain is to be measuredfor length. It is equal to 1% of the MUTS. Length mea-surements are to be taken over a length of at least 12 in.(300 mm).1.8 PreloadAll chains shall be preloaded by applying a tensileforce equivalent to at least 30% of the MUTS given inTable 3.ASME B29.8-20102

42、CLEVISESThis section gives recommended design dimensionsof terminal clevises for use with Type B leaf chains.Limiting dimensions herein established are for the pur-pose of ensuring acceptance of chains built in accordancewith foregoing standards.2.1 Design ConsiderationsCare must be exercised in the

43、 manufacture and attach-ment of clevises to ensure equal load distribution acrossthe chain. Failure to do so will seriously reduce the chainload-carrying capacity.It is recommended that the material used for the con-struction of clevises be through-hardening steel.The clevises and pins used to ancho

44、r the chain shallbe of adequate strength to withstand at least the break-ing load of the chain.2.2 Clevis TypesThe clevis may be designed so that the clevis blockfits inside the end plates of the chain, or so that theclevis block fits outside the end plates of the chain, asillustrated in Fig. 4.The

45、required chain end configuration must be speci-fied when ordering cut lengths of chain.2.3 General ProportionsGeneral proportions for clevises are shown in Fig. 5.Dimensions used in the figures are as follows:B pfillet radiusCL pclearancep 0.0015 in. for58in. pitch and smaller, or 0.002 in.for34in.
