How To Break A Roller Chain?
When using roller chains, be careful to avoid serious injury. Cutting the roller chain is a necessary but potentially dangerous task. To help ensure safety, it is important to remember a few key considerations.
Tips:
1.Always work with the correct tools.
2.Wear protective clothing, including gloves and goggles.
3.Confirm that the tension on the roller chain is zero. This may require a roller chain puller.
4.Verify that all equipment with roller chains is turned off and is no longer powered.
5. Once the roller chain is broken, please handle it properly to avoid injury.
It's very simple. In just three steps, you can easily take the roller chain apart using the chain breaker.
Step 1.
Clip the chain breaker onto the roller of the roller chain
It must be ensured that the tips of the roller chain breaker and the pins of the roller chain are precisely aligned. Otherwise, you may break the chain breaker tip or fail to break the roller chain.
Step 2.
Turn the handle clockwise to push the pin and break the rivet of the roller chain
After this step, the roller chain rivet has broken. Some people choose to stop here and try to push the single needle out. This may be effective in some situations; however, we strongly advise against it because it is dangerous and difficult to do so. Therefore, we propose to proceed with the next step.
Step 3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove the second pin from the connector board
After this step, your chain should look like the photo below. Both rivets on one side of the chain are now broken and you can remove the pin link.
