Electric chain hoist is a kind of lifting equipment that is smaller and lighter than wire rope electric hoist. It is widely used in factories, mines, warehouses and other production sites. Electric chain hoist is composed of many parts, each part has its function, chain guide is one of them, let's take a look next.

The chain of the electric chain hoist is located in the sprocket, and the meshing transmission is relatively jumped and impacted. Therefore, a device is needed to help the chain move regularly according to the shape of the sprocket. This is the function of the chain guide. At present, there are many types of guide chain structures, including a pressure wheel type, a pressure plate type, and a pressure plate type which is divided into a flat chain type and a pressure vertical chain type. The size of the chain guide should be determined according to the actual chain and sprocket gear. This is a technical parameter that requires process and test verification. The chain guide plays a role in protecting the smooth running of the chain. If the design of the chain guide is wrong, it will hinder the smooth running of the chain.

Each accessory of the electric chain hoist plays a very important role in the normal operation of the electric chain hoist. The quality of each accessory directly affects the quality of the electric chain hoist.
