CHAIN SEPARATOR

Product Description

The Kito Chain Separator is a genuine OEM replacement component for Kito chain hoists, identified by part number AH136610025. The chain separator is an internal guide component within the hoist load sheave or chain guide assembly that maintains correct spacing and alignment between individual chain links as the load chain feeds through the hoist body during lifting and lowering operations. By keeping adjacent chain links separated and correctly oriented as they engage with and disengage from the load sheave pockets, the chain separator prevents chain links from overlapping, crossing, or jamming within the chain guide assembly — conditions that cause accelerated wear of the load chain and load sheave, chain jamming, and unreliable hoist operation.

The chain separator works in conjunction with the chain guide and load sheave to ensure each chain link enters and exits the load sheave pocket in the correct orientation and with the correct spacing from adjacent links. In hoists operating at higher lift speeds or under frequent duty cycles, correct chain separation and alignment through the load sheave is particularly important for maintaining smooth, reliable chain feed and preventing the chain misalignment and jamming that results from worn or damaged chain guide components.

The chain separator is subject to wear and mechanical damage over its service life through repeated contact with the load chain during each lift cycle, the abrasive effects of chain link engagement and disengagement, and exposure to the operating environment within the hoist body. Conditions requiring chain separator replacement include visible wear or deformation of the separator profile that no longer maintains correct chain link spacing, cracking or fracture of the separator body, and any condition that results in chain misalignment, chain jamming, or irregular chain feed through the load sheave during hoist operation.

Key Features: Genuine Kito OEM replacement chain separator Part number AH136610025 Maintains correct chain link spacing and alignment through the load sheave Prevents chain link overlap, crossing, and jamming within the chain guide assembly Reduces accelerated wear of load chain and load sheave caused by chain misalignment OEM construction to Kito specifications

Note: Confirm the compatible hoist series and model for part number AH136610025 with your Kito distributor before ordering. Chain separator replacement should be performed by a qualified hoist technician. The hoist must be fully inspected, function tested, and load tested before returning to service following chain separator replacement.
