Transport chains consist of internal links with external links connected to each other. They are mainly made of structural steel, and thanks to galvanizing processes they gain corrosion resistance.
The first chains were ring chains, which, due to their simple structure and imprecise construction, are not suitable for power transmission in modern machines and devices. They replaced They are ladder chains, which are made of rollers, plates and bushings. Alternately arranged links resemble laddershence the name of the chains.
Ladder transport chains
Ladder chains they can be connected single or double, or even multiple times - depending on the application. Transport chains are used, among others, in the food, mining, transport and manufacturing industries.
Transport chain it is made of pins on which bushings and rotating rollers are mounted. The inner plates are embedded in the press-fit sleeve, and the outer plates in the pin. These are chains adapted to different speeds depending on the type of transported product.
