Types of joints and usage suggestions for harvester chains
The joint,also known as the connecting link,is an important component of the chain used in harvesters.Its function is to connect the chain from end to end,forming a circular structure.But due to the problem of joint detachment,it has caused significant losses to relevant enterprises and users.So far,there are relatively few and scattered literature on the introduction,selection,and maintenance of joints,making it difficult to fully utilize them.Therefore,from a practical perspective,by collecting product information,frontline feedback,and troubleshooting practical experience,types of connectors and usage suggestionswere elaborated,in order to reasonably select and reduce or avoid equipment failures and losses caused by connectors in product design,maintenance,and repair operations.
