ELITE roller chains with sawtooth plates are extremely wearresistant and designed for optimum fatigue strength. They are used mainly in the wood processing industry for transporting raw timber and sawn planks. Other sawtooth forms available on request. Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.
Riveting Links are made from the pins and outer link plates. These links are used between each roller link to form a roller chain. The pins and outer plates are a pressed to form a solid connection. This type of chain consists of five basic components: pin, bushing, roller, pin link plate and roller link plate. Manufacturers make and assemble each of these subcomponents to precise tolerances and heat treat them to optimize performance. Roller Chain operates at high efficiency on drives with reduction ratios up to 3:1, but can be used effectively for drives up to 5:1 reduction. Higher ratios are not recommended but on some very slow speed drives reductions up to 10:1 have been used.
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most frequently used for mechanical power transmission on numerous types of domestic, industrial, and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. Roller chains are used for both drive and conveyor applications. There is a separate series of chains for each application area. In most case the roller chain type is often stamped on the outer link plate; for example, 50 if ANSI or 10B if BS size. The first digits refer to the pitch of the chain and vary according to the series.
