Learn How It Works

Why Pins Seize Up

Downtime stalls production when seized pins won't budge. Safety risks mount from heat-based methods. Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins tight.

Why This Happens

Corrosion builds from moisture exposure, locking pins in place and halting chain movement. Wear from load cycling deforms pins, causing seizure that stops equipment operation. Contamination packs debris, amplifying friction and preventing easy removal.
