Universal Escalator chains

The Universal Escalator chains product range include escalator step chains and moving walkway chain. This type of chain is crucial to escalator equipment which enable it to carry people safely, smoothly, quietly and provide a certain level of comfort. 

We attach great importance on material selection and heat treatment process optimization to guarantee high strength, fatigue resistance, wear resistance, precision and longevity for our escalator chains.

Universal Chain offers customized solutions to meet specific client needs in escalator chain production. With a state-of-the-art intelligent factory, the company combines research, manufacturing, and marketing to produce high-quality chains.

Featured Escalator Chains

Commercial type escalator chain

Designed for high-traffic environments such as airports, shopping malls, subway stations, and docks. This escalator step chain is a critical component that ensures the smooth and reliable operation of escalators, providing safety and comfort for all users.

Public transport type escalator step chain

This type of escalator chain is widely used for escalators in public places such as stations, airports, docks, subways, shopping malls, etc.

Moving walkway chain

This type of chain is an escalator chain without a step structure and is widely used in public places with mainly horizontal or smooth slopes, such as large airports and supermarkets.

No maintenance escalator step chain

In addition to the general characteristics of escalator chains, this type of escalator chain also has characteristics on maintenance-free or low-maintenance, and is suitable for escalators operate in high-cleanliness environments. The pin shaft and sleeve rotation set for this type of chain are specially designed (using maintenance-free materials) to achieve the requirement of self-lubrication of the rotation set.

Drive Chain

Include main drive chains and handrail drive chain. The interchangeable dimensions are consistent with standard roller chanis, primarily consisting of A and B series roller chains and their reinforced versions. The design complys with ISO 606 standard.

Unique Technologies of Universal Chain

Through years of industry knowledge accumulation and processing crafts optimization, Universal Chain has developed six unique technologies that significantly improve and strengthen all aspects of the manufacturing process. These advancements enhance the accuracy, quality, and capacity of our chain products.

Enables improved material properties, increased tensile strength and durability; consistent sheet thickness and size, minimizing the need for post-extrusion processing and reducing material waste. 

Effectively removes scale, rust and other contaminants to ensure a flawless surface for subsequent treatments; creates compressive stress on the surface, significantly improving fatigue resistance and overall strength. 

Uses advanced imaging systems and artificial intelligence to inspect chain components for defects in real time.

Ensures uniform preload on all chain links, reducing initial elongation and improving performance; preloaded chains elongate less over time, improving durability and reliability.

Maintain precise temperatures and heating cycles to achieve desired material properties. 

Achieve complex cuts with tight tolerances; Minimize waste by optimizing cutting patterns and reducing scrap; High cutting speeds and the ability to quickly switch between different cutting programs for various chain components.

Frequently Asked Questions

An escalator chain is a critical component that connects and synchronizes the movement of individual steps in an escalator. It ensures smooth and continuous operation, withstanding heavy loads and constant use. The chain provides the necessary flexibility and strength to maintain consistent speed and spacing between steps, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride for users.

Escalator chains are primarily categorized into several types, including commercial type escalator chains, which are widely used in public places like airports and shopping malls, and drive chains that transmit power from the drive unit. Other types include no maintenance escalator step chains designed for minimal upkeep, moving walkway chains for escalators that function as walkways, and public transport type escalator chains specifically designed for high-traffic environments.

Escalator step chains typically last between 10 to 15 years. However, their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as usage frequency, maintenance practices, and operating conditions. With proper care and moderate use, some chains can last up to 20 years or more. Regular professional assessments are recommended to monitor chain condition and predict replacement needs accurately.

A high-quality escalator step chain should possess durability, precision engineering, wear resistance, and enhanced fatigue resistance. It should be made from high-strength materials, typically steel, capable of withstanding constant use and heavy loads. Some advanced chains offer self-lubrication properties or are designed for minimal maintenance. Compatibility with various escalator models and adherence to industry standards are also important considerations.
