Standard Stainless Steel Bush Self-Lubricating Medical Industrial Connecting Link Conveyor Lube Free Double Short Pitch Roller Chain
Roller chains are a type of chain that is commonly used in industrial and mechanical applications to transmit power between two rotating shafts. Roller chains consist of a series of cylindrical rollers that are held together by metal links, and are designed to engage with the teeth of a sprocket to transmit torque between the two shafts.
Roller chains are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of different applications. They are typically designated by a pitch value, which refers to the distance between the centers of two adjacent rollers. Common pitch sizes for roller chains include 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8", although other sizes are also available.
Depending on the specific application requirements, roller chains can be made from various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and plastic. They are often used in applications requiring high tensile strength and durability, such as in conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, and material handling equipment.
Proper maintenance and lubrication of roller chains is important to ensure their longevity and efficient operation. Regular inspection and cleaning can help prevent wear and tear on the chains and sprockets and reduce the risk of failure or downtime. The chain should be properly tensioned and aligned to prevent excessive wear and damage to the sprockets and shafts, and lubricated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
