Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The link chain used in the electric chain hoist at the factory of recycling cullet was fractured though it was used within the rated load. According to fracture surface analyses of the failure link chain by the scanning electron microscopic, the striation, which is a property of fatigue fracture, formed by over loads repeatedly was observed. In order to reveal the cause of the over load, the situation of the hoist installed in the factory was investigated in details. It was found that the coil spring above the hock was removed from the hoist. In case of removing it, the over winding prevent system does not work normally because the coil spring is a essential part of this system, and consequently, the link chain is subjected to the over load whenever this system works.
