Chain Wear Guide Instructions

The Renold wear guide is a tool that allows users to easily measure chain elongation without removing the chain from its installation. The guide indicates elongation percentages through gradations that fit between chain rollers. Users are advised to replace chains before they reach 3% elongation to prevent damage and safety issues. The guide can accurately measure starting at 0.5% elongation.

The Renold wear guide has been developed to accurately measure chain elongation without

the need to remove it from the installation location. To avoid problems with running, the
chain should be replaced before elongation reaches 3%. Assessment of chain elongation is
made quick and easy with the Renold wear guide and this simple preventative maintenance
step can save costs by avoiding prematurely worn-out sprockets, as well as ensuring safe
and efficient operation.

The Renold wear guide can be read as follows. The numbers at the gauge show the chain
elongation in percent. If the gradation with a number on it fits between two rollers, the chain
elongation has reached this value in percent. It is possible to measure a chain elongation
gradation from about 0.5%. The first gradation means 0.5% chain elongation.

 At 2% wear, replacement of the chain should be considered in order to maintain


optimum performance
 At 3% wear, immediate replacement of the chain is indicated in order to prevent the
risk of damage to machinery or potential injury
