Description
When your conveyor chain starts slapping or your elevator belt gets noisy, you know it’s time to take care of that loose chain before it jumps a sprocket or damages other components. This TISCO roller chain tightener handles 100 pitch and smaller roller chain sizes, giving you a simple way to keep proper tension on the drive systems that keep your farm equipment running smoothly.
What You’re Getting
- Multiple mounting options with 1/2″, 5/8″, and 3/4″ bolt holes to fit different equipment configurations
- Spring-loaded design that automatically maintains proper chain tension as components wear
- Durable construction that handles the vibration and shock loads common in agricultural applications
- Compact 2-1/8″ width fits in tight spaces where larger tensioners won’t work
Built for Real Farm Work
This tensioner works on the same equipment where you’ll find roller chain – hay elevators, portable conveyors, feed mixers, grain cleaners, and various PTO-driven implements. Whether you’re maintaining an older hay elevator or keeping a grain handling system running smoothly, this tightener helps eliminate the chain slap and irregular operation that comes with stretched or loose chain.
Made to Last
Farm equipment tensioners need to handle constant movement, temperature changes, and the dust and debris that comes with agricultural work. This TISCO unit is built with quality materials and a spring mechanism that keeps working through thousands of cycles, maintaining consistent tension even as your chain stretches over time.
Installation Notes
Mount the tensioner so it applies pressure to the slack side of the chain, not the tight side. When installing, make sure to properly tension the chain according to your equipment manual – the tensioner will take up slack, but you still want to start with reasonable tension. A quick tip: position it where you can easily access it for maintenance without having to remove other components.
