Schneider Electric Chain Equipment: Seized Pin Blocks Restart
Your Schneider Electric chain-driven line is down because the pin won’t press out.
Why Pins Seize Solid
Every minute the line stays stopped costs thousands. Torch cutting creates serious safety hazards and fire risks. Corrosion, wear, contamination, and repeated load cycling lock pins in place so hammers and presses fail.
Why This Happens
Heavy chain pins seize when corrosion builds, wear widens gaps then packs with debris, and constant load cycling plus thermal expansion create metal-to-metal galling. The result is a pin that resists all normal shop force. Equipment stays blocked until the pin is forced out safely.
