Hutchinson Chain Down: Seized Pin Won't Press Out
Your Hutchinson chain-driven equipment is stopped by a frozen chain pin.
Why chain pins seize solid
Corrosion and contamination pack pins tight—won't move under normal press force.
Wear from load cycling compounds the seizure—line stays down.
Every hour stalled costs production—torch risks make it worse.
Why This Happens
Corrosion builds between pin and sidebar, locking movement. Contamination and wear pack material tight under repeated loads. Result: pins freeze solid, blocking chain disassembly and halting equipment restart.
