What are the joint forms of roller chains?

The joint forms of roller chains mainly include the following:

roller chain

Hollow pin joint: This is a simple joint form. The joint is realized by the hollow pin and the pin of the roller chain. It has the characteristics of smooth operation and high transmission efficiency. 1
Plate connection joint: It consists of connecting plates and pins and is used to connect the two ends of the roller chain. It has a simple and durable structure and can adapt to a variety of transmission needs.

Chain plate joint: realized through the interconnection between chain plates, it provides reliable connection and can withstand large loads, is easy to make and install, and is suitable for small and medium-sized mechanical equipment. 2

Chain pin joint: It is realized by the interconnection between chain pins. The connection is convenient and does not require special processing of the chain. It is especially suitable for large mechanical equipment.

Pin-type joint: connects the chain plate to the sprocket and uses a pin-fixed connection. It is simple and compact, and is suitable for light-load, low-speed transmission systems. 3

Spiral pin joint: The chain plate and sprocket are assembled together and connected using a screw pin fixation method. It is suitable for medium speed and medium load transmission systems.

Grooved joint: Install the chain plate and the sprocket together, and then use rolling to tightly fix the cutouts after cutting the grooves. It is suitable for small and medium-sized transmission systems. The connection is firm and the transmission is stable.

Magnetic joint: Install the chain plate and sprocket together and use special magnetic materials to securely fix them, suitable for high precision
