Chain Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring reissued
Chain Condition Monitoring (CCM) continuously measures the wear condition of a roller chain.
The frictional movement between the pin or sleeve causes constant material wear - the chain elongates and has to be replaced after a while. This is because the load-bearing capacity of the chain as a whole is determined by the weakest link. Iwis has now improved its CCM chain condition monitoring system: with the new CCM-S, Iwis is supplementing the previous version of the chain monitoring system and offering even more options for measuring chain elongation directly during operation. According to the manufacturer, the new function makes it easier to identify weak points and investigate the cause before a failure occurs. At the heart of the system is a new measuring method. With the new CCM generation, the data can now be transmitted wirelessly to a terminal device via IO-Link.
The CCM-S continuously measures the wear condition of a roller chain. It also detects non-magnetic chains and stainless steel. By connecting two devices in series, the user can measure chains with pitches from 9.525 to 100 millimetres. The system detects impacts on the chain drive and reports unusual shocks near the chain. A temperature sensor is used to monitor whether the chain is heating up abnormally or too much. An acceleration sensor detects chain links that are no longer moving or have become stiff, which is caused by corrosion, for example.
