Contact Rexnord FlatTop Application Engineering if you require assistance in selecting a chain for this application. The
horsepower (HP) output requirement the program calculates is the "design horsepower" that is required to power the conveyor
based on the input parameters. Additional considerations should be made for the type of drive used, efficiency losses in the
power train, as well as any gearbox manufacturer's recommendations. MTO chains will require a minimum order quantity,
longer lead time, and a set up charge. When using pushers the chain is derated
Shafting Calculations are based on: Deflection: 0.125 in. or 3.175 mm Torsion: 6,000 psi Bending: 10,000 psi
