Chain Tensioning Kit for Corn Plant Corn Header (KMS-8)
Purpose
The chain tensioning kit is intended for use on Corn Plant corn headers (KMS-8). Its main task is to provide optimal tension of the drive chains that transmit force to the header’s working units (rollers, feeding conveyors, etc.).
With the correctly set chain tension:
-
it does not derail from the sprockets;
-
it does not stretch prematurely;
-
it does not create excessive load on the drive.
Operating principle
-
After installation, a roller or sprocket presses the chain to the required tension level.
-
Tension is achieved either by a spring that automatically adjusts to chain length changes, or by a bolted method — allowing manual adjustment.
-
The mechanism compensates for chain elongation that occurs during operation and prevents its slipping or derailing from the sprockets.
Advantages of the tensioner kit
- Full compatibility with KMS-8 headers
Designed specifically for Corn Plant equipment, it does not require modification during installation.
- Easy to install and maintain
Installs in the standard locations, adjusts in minutes — does not require special tools.
- Reliable operation in field conditions
Durable materials, protected from dust, moisture and mechanical wear.
- Increased lifespan of the chain drive
Correct tension means less wear of the chain, sprockets and shafts, as well as stable operation of the entire header.
- Versatility
Can be used in various parts of the header where chain drive is provided (feeding, conveying, cutting mechanisms, etc.).
Application areas
-
Corn header Corn Plant (KMS-8)
-
Drive units of feeding conveyors
-
Chain mechanisms of rollers, reel arms and choppers
-
Compatible CLAAS units and adapted Ukrainian headers
