Step Chain Components

The step chains are one of the most critical components of an escalator or moving walkway that are responsible for moving the steps or pallets along the track.

The step chains consist of a series of interlocking metal links that are connected to the steps or pallets. As the step chains move, it pulls the steps or pallets along the track in a continuous loop. The step chains are driven by a motor, which provides the power to move the steps or pallets.

Escalator and moving walk step chains are designed to be durable and long-lasting, as they are subjected to constant wear and tear from the weight of passengers and the force of the moving components. The chains are typically made of high-strength steel or other sturdy materials to ensure their strength and reliability.

Regular maintenance and inspection of the step chain are critical to ensure its safe and reliable operation. Over time, the chain can stretch or wear, which can lead to problems with the escalator or moving walkway. Proper lubrication and adjustment of the chains can help to extend their lifespan and prevent issues from developing.
