Universalization of regulated indicators of safety factors for a wide range of technical industrial chains and scientific substantiation of the service life of such chains is an important national and economic task. The purpose of this work is to study the stress state of the links of round-link cargo chains and substantiate proposals for the selection of their safety factors for use in machines and mechanisms of general mechanical engineering. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the components of the stress state of the arc section of the cargo round-link chain, performed using the developed visual cognitive model of this section, and taking into account the results of experimental tests of the mechanical characteristics of round-link chains of calibers 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 of class G80 according to the ASTM A391 standard, made of 20MnNiCrMo5-2 steel, a “sensitivity threshold” of the destructive stress of the link was established as an alternative to the value of the ultimate strength of the material from which the chain links are made. At the same time, the level of confidence probability for the obtained results is not worse than 0.96. It is proposed that in the case of using the “sensitivity threshold” of the destructive stress instead of the value of the material strength limit for the manufacture of cargo round-link chains, it is advisable to use general engineering standards for safety factors, which vary within 1.5…2.5. Prospects for further research are determined, which should be aimed at universalizing the characteristics of mechanical strength of a wide range of technical industrial chains.
The proposed analytical approach enables the improvement of strength assessment methods and optimization of safety factors for cargo round-link chains used in general mechanical engineering.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
