Learn How It Works

Common Causes of Pin Seizure

Your line is down, production stopped, and every hour costs thousands. Torching seized pins risks burns, fire, and further damage. Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins in place—standard press won't budge them.

Why This Happens

Chain pins seize from corrosion buildup, metal-to-metal wear, and abrasive contamination under heavy cycling loads.

This creates extreme friction that stops pins from pressing out with manual tools.

Result: extended downtime, rushed unsafe fixes, and repeated failures.
