A coupling chain is a type of chain that is used to connect two rotating shafts in a mechanical system. It consists of two sprockets that are connected by a chain, with each sprocket being mounted on one of the shafts. The coupling chain transmits torque from one shaft to the other, allowing the two shafts to rotate together.
Coupling chains are commonly used in applications where shafts need to be connected over a distance, such as in conveyor systems, pumps, and other machinery. They are often preferred over other types of couplings, such as gear couplings or flexible couplings, because they are relatively simple and easy to install, and can accommodate misalignment between the shafts.
Many different types of coupling chains are available, including single-strand, double-strand, and triple-strand chains. They can be made from various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and plastic, depending on the specific application requirements.
Properly selecting and maintaining coupling chains is important to ensure their longevity and efficient operation. The chain should be properly tensioned and aligned to prevent excessive wear and damage to the sprockets and shafts. Regular inspection and lubrication can also help prevent wear and reduce the risk of failure or downtime.
