ABOUT ROLLER CHAINS
Roller chains run on a rotating sprocket connected to a motor that moves the chain. In most roller chains, two types of links alternate in order for it to work.
- Inner links (also known as Roller Links): two inner plates held together by two sleeves or bushings that sit under two rollers.
- Outer links (also known as Pin Links): two outer plates held together by pins, pass through bushings of inner links.
The environment in which your roller chain is used, along with the work it performs, will influence what type of roller chain to use and how often you’ll need to change the roller chain.
Rest assured, roller chains are one of the most effective and efficient options for power transmission and conveyance applications.
You will find roller chains most commonly used for the transmission of mechanical power of industrial machinery and for product conveyance throughout manufacturing facilities. Common industries:
