Learn How It Works

Why Pins Seize Up

Seized pins block chain movement, stalling production lines under tight deadlines. Safety hazards rise from stuck components refusing to budge. Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins tight, demanding immediate action.

Why This Happens

Corrosion builds up over time, bonding pins to chain links and preventing disassembly. Wear from load cycling deforms surfaces, causing pins to jam under pressure. Contamination packs in debris, leading to frozen pins that extend downtime and risk damage.

Real Breakdown Scenarios We Fix

Chain pins frozen after extended heavy loads, blocking quick link replacement

Seized pins during routine inspections, delaying scheduled maintenance windows

Stuck pins from debris buildup, halting conveyor restarts mid-shift

Jammed chain components under thermal stress, complicating field disassembly

Worn pins refusing to press out, extending unplanned equipment downtime
