How does a chain work?

The chain is a common transmission device. The working principle of the chain is to reduce the friction between the chain and the sprocket through the double curved chain, thereby reducing the energy loss during power transmission, thereby obtaining higher transmission efficiency. The application of chain drive is mainly concentrated in some occasions with high power and slow running speed, which makes chain drive have more obvious advantages.
Chain transmission uses a variety of chains and supporting products, including transmission gear chains, CVT chains, long pitch chains, short pitch roller chains, two-speed transmission chains, transmission sleeve chains, transmission sleeve chains, including gear chains, CVT Chain, long pitch chain, short pitch chain, short pitch chain. t-pitch roller chain, two-speed conveyor chain, transmission sleeve chain. Heavy-duty conveyor curved roller chain, double-section roller chain, short-section roller chain, plate chain, etc.

1. Stainless steel chain
Stainless steel chain, as the name suggests, is a chain made of stainless steel as the main casting material. The chain has good corrosion resistance and can adapt to high and low temperature working environments. The main areas of application for stainless steel chains are in the food manufacturing, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

2. The necessary manufacturing material for self-lubricating chains is a special sintered metal soaked in lubricating oil. The chain made of this metal is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, completely self-lubricating, requires no maintenance, and is more convenient to use. They also work longer. Self-lubricating chains are suitable for automatic food production lines with high wear resistance and difficult maintenance.

3. Rubber chain
The manufacturing method of rubber chain is to add a U-shaped plate to the outer chain of an ordinary chain, and paste various rubbers on the outside of the attached plate. Most rubber chains use natural rubber NR or Si, which gives the chain better wear resistance, reduces operating noise, and improves vibration resistance.

4. High strength chain
High-strength chain is a special roller chain that improves the shape of the chain plate based on the original chain. The chain plates, chain plate holes and pins are all specially processed and manufactured. High-strength chains have good tensile strength, 15%-30% higher than ordinary chains, and have good impact resistance and fatigue resistance.
