Since the usage by a single strand is selected,
judge with a half (1/2) value in the above table.

Roller allowable load

Go to actual selection

Make sure that the load applied to roller is below the values in the tables above.
If it exceeds this value, change to a chain size that can tolerate the load and proceed to the actual selection.

There is a difference of total mass of conveyed objects from that of tentative selection

PLEASE WAIT...

Actual selection is complete. Please confirm the following selection results.

The maximum allowable load of the tentatively selected chain is insufficient.Select a larger size chain and try an actual selection.
