EHEDA Speed Chain: Core Drive Solution for Intelligent Production Line

Pexchain product system overview

As the leading FA factory automation parts manufacturer in China, Yihoda's multiplier chain product line has been formed.Complete modular ecology. According to the product brochure, EHEDA offers three core component systems:

  • ​transmission unit2.5x speed (BS25 series) and 3x speed (BS30 series) chains, supporting 6 chain sizes from C206B to C216A, with load ranges from 28kgf/m for light loads to 420kgf/m for heavy loads.
  • ​structural component: Dedicated aluminium profile guide rail (surface anodised), geared motor (0.75-2.2kW), tensioning mechanism
  • ​functional module: Blocking cylinders (lever cushion design), jacking transplanters, work plate return systems

​personal experience: When researching an automotive electronics factory, we found that Yihoda'sAntistatic nylon roller chain(ESD protection value <10⁶Ω) solves the pain point of ESD damage in precision assembly - a niche scenario not covered by Japanese brands, reflecting the precision of localised innovation.

Technical Characterisation

The core strengths of the EHEDA multiplier chain areBreakthroughs in the integration of mechanical design and materials science::
#####Optimisation of the differential transmission mechanism​
Through precise calculation of roller radius difference (R/r≈2.5-3.0), the multiplier relationship between the speed of the work plate V₁=ω×(R+r) and the speed of the chain V₂=ω×r is realised. Its innovation is:

  • adoptionTwin-axis tensioning system(independent adjustment of driven wheels), solving the problem of chain link extension for long line bodies (>10m)
  • ​Lever-type blocking cylindersCushioning the collision force, so that the impact noise when stopping the workpiece plate is reduced by 15dB.

#####Balancing lightweight with durability​

Customised solutions for the industry

For different scenarios, Yihada developed theEnvironmentally Adapted Product Matrix::
#####Electronic Manufacturing Dust Control Programme​

  • Enclosed rail design (dust protection class IP54)
  • Roller surface coated with POM material, dust generation reduced 90%
  • After the application of a PCB factory in Shenzhen, the frequency of equipment cleaning from 1 time per day to 1 time per week.

#####Food and pharmaceutical grade cleanliness programme​

  • 316 Stainless Steel Chain (High Pressure Flush Resistant)
  • Compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records specification
  • Closed-loop pollution-free production line with flexible chain conveyor system (POM chain plate)

#####Heavy-duty scenario enhancement programme​

  • BS30-C216A chain with 55kW high power motor (instantaneous overload 150%)
  • Double blocking cylinder structure (load capacity >100kg) prevents the workpiece from tipping over.
  • Load Capacity Enhancement for an Engine Assembly Line 120%

​Cost data: The modular design allowsReduced maintenance costs 83%-Replaces power modules in just 2 minutes, compared to an average of 3 weeks for traditional equipment returned to the factory for repair.

Intelligent control and ecological integration

​​​Enabling Edge Computing​
Implemented by embedding a dynamic beat algorithm in the speed control box:

  • Automatic optimisation of station dwell times (accuracy 0.1 sec)
  • Vibration sensor (10kHz sampling) predicts chain life
  • An appliance company's OEE improved by 11 percentage points

​​​Cloud Platform Collaborative Management​
Done by interfacing the MES system via API:

​​​Flexible Production Line Integration​

Combined application with POM flexible chain conveyor system:


    

  • Horizontal section for carrying heavy loads with speed chains
    • 

  • Vertical turning section cut to flexible chain (turning radius <300mm)
    • 

  • Reduction in overall space occupation by 40%

Strategic layout and future evolution


EHEDA is working throughthreefold strategyReinventing the multiplier chain market:

​​​Accelerating Technology Going Overseas​

The "Japan-Southeast Asia-Europe and America" gradient will be launched in 2024:


    

  • Tropical climate version of chain (operating temperature -25℃~70℃)
    • 

  • Localised warehousing network (reduced delivery lead time to 48 hours)
    • 

  • Overseas revenue up 307% year-on-year
    • 



​​​Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrade​

Invested 870 million in the construction of the South China Supply Chain Centre:


    

  • pull intoAI visual quality control(Defect recognition rate 99.2%)
    • 

  • Automated Programming System Responds in "Seconds"
    • 

  • Long-tail order processing capacity increased by 300%
    • 



​​​Materials Science Breakthroughs​

Laboratory test data show that:


    

  • Carbon fibre reinforced nylon rollers (30% weight reduction, 2 times longer life)
    •

Self-questioning: key issues analysed


​​​Q1：Can EHEDA Speed Chain replace imported brands?​




​Differentiated competitivenessFormed:


    

  • Local service: Dialect voice command recognition (supports 9 dialects)
    • 

  • Cost advantage: the same specification price is only 65% of Mismi
    • 

  • Special scenarios: anti-static/food-grade solutions are better suited to the needs of Chinese factories
    • 





​​​Q2: How to solve the dust problem of multiplier chain?​




Triple protection strategy:


    

  1. ​Material optimisation: Nylon rollers instead of steel (dust reduction 90%)
    2. 

  2. ​Closed design: Guide rails with removable dust covers
    3. 

  3. ​Static control: Housing nickel-plated finish (<10⁶Ω)
    4. 





​​​Q3：What are the most important parameters to pay attention to in selecting a model?​




​Load Capacity x Environmental Adaptability x Expansion Space::


    

  • Electronic factory: focus on ESD protection value and noise level (recommended <65dB)
    • 

  • Automobile factory: examine the instantaneous overload capacity (>120%)
    • 

  • Reserve 20% electrical interface to cope with intelligent transformation
    • 





​​​Q4: How can maintenance costs be optimised?​




​Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Systemis the key:


    

  • Conventional: Fixed 30-day cycle lubrication
    • 

  • EHEDA: Dynamic maintenance by wear condition (vibration sensor warning)
    
An enterprise's annual maintenance costs fell by 411 TP3T
    • 







When peers are still competing for the wear resistance of chains, Yihoda has already constructed theFrom physical drive to data flowThe complete value chain - in the Dongguan smart factory, each metre times the chain produces 17 data streams per second, these seemingly minuscule torrent of bits, is quietly reshaping the underlying logic of China's smart manufacturing.
