What is industrial roller chains
Industrial roller chains are mechanical components used in power transmission systems to transfer rotational motion and power from one shaft to another. They consist of a series of interconnected cylindrical rollers, also known as chain links or pins, that are held together by inner and outer plates. The rollers engage with the teeth of sprockets, creating a positive drive system.
Key characteristics of industrial roller chains
Pitch Size: The pitch size refers to the distance between the centers of two consecutive roller pins. It is an important specification used to determine the size and compatibility of the chain with sprockets. Common pitch sizes include 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1".
Roller Diameter: The roller diameter is the measurement of the cylindrical rollers in the chain. It can vary depending on the chain's pitch size and application requirements. Larger roller diameters are generally used for heavier loads and increased durability.
Link Plates: Industrial roller chains consist of inner and outer link plates, also known as side plates or link plates. These plates hold the rollers in place and provide stability to the chain. They are typically made of hardened steel for strength and durability.
Pins and Bushings: The rollers in an industrial roller chain are connected by pins and bushings. The pins, also called link pins, hold the link plates together and allow the rollers to rotate freely. The bushings, also known as link bushings, provide a bearing surface for the rollers to reduce friction during operation.
Strength and Load Capacity: Industrial roller chains are designed to withstand various levels of load and stress. The chain's strength and load capacity depend on factors such as the material, construction, and heat treatment of the chain components. Chains with higher strength ratings are used for heavy-duty applications.
