Metso Chain Down: Seized Pin Won't Press Out
Your Metso chain-driven equipment is stopped cold by a seized pin that refuses to move.
Common Causes of Pin Seizure
Downtime is killing your schedule and every minute costs money. Torch methods risk burns and fire in tight spaces. Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins solid so they won't budge.
Why This Happens
Heavy loads, constant cycling, and contamination cause corrosion and material buildup between pin and bushing. Over time this creates extreme friction and galling. The pin seizes completely, halting chain movement and blocking restarts.
