HIGH-QUALITY ROLLER CHAINS – BUILT FOR
DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE
Roller chains are core components in chain drives, transmitting mechanical power through the engagement of metal chains and sprockets. Known for their efficiency and durability, they are widely used in mechanical applications.
 

Core Structure & Working Principle

Components: Consist of inner plates, outer plates, pins, bushes, and rollers.
Inner/outer plates are press-fitted with bushes/pins.
Rollers and bushes/pins maintain a clearance fit for flexibility.
Function: Rollers reduce friction by rolling over sprocket teeth, while bushes rotate around pins to enable chain articulation.
 
CHAINS PRODUCT RANGE
CHAINS PRODUCT RANGE
·  Single-Strand Chains
For light-duty, low-power applications (e.g., small machinery).

·  Multi-Strand Chains (e.g., double/triple-strand)
Enhanced load capacity for heavy machinery (e.g., mining equipment), though strand counts typically ≤3 to mitigate uneven load distribution.

Key Parameters
Pitch (p)

Example: Chain No. 12 → Pitch = 19.05mm.
Chain Series: Suffixes "A" (ANSI standard) and "B" (GB standard) denote regional specifications.
 
CHAINS PRODUCT RANGE
Industries: Agriculture (harvesters), industrial conveyors, petrochemical systems, automotive/motorcycle powertrains.
ROLLER CHAIN
CONVEYOR CHAIN
AGRICULTURAL CHAIN
LEAF CHAIN
STAINLESS STEEL CHAIN
Drop Forged Chains

Performance

   Power: Up to 3600kW (common use ≤100kW).
   Speed: Max 40m/s (practically ≤15m/s to minimize vibration/noise).
   Transmission Ratio: Max 15:1 (recommended 2–2.5:1 for stability).

Advantages

   High efficiency (≥98%), no slip, precise speed ratio.
   Compact structure, low bearing load, easy installation.
   Overload-resistant, suitable for heavy loads (e.g., cranes).
CHAINS PRODUCT RANGE
Prioritize short-pitch chains and multi-tooth sprockets to reduce impact and extend lifespan.
For precision transmission, a toothed chain can be chosen.

Corrosive Environment

Choose stainless steel chains or chains that have undergone special surface treatment.

High Temperature Environment

Choose high-temperature resistant alloy steel 
chains.

Dusty Environment

Choose dust-proof structure chains or special material chains.
