WHAT IS A ROLLER CHAIN ?

A roller chain is a mechanical component commonly used in various industrial and mechanical applications for transmitting power. It consists of a series of cylindrical metal rollers (or links) connected together in a continuous loop. These rollers are typically affixed to two parallel metal plates known as inner and outer plates. The primary purpose of a roller chain is to transfer rotary motion from one sprocket or gear to another, allowing for the efficient and reliable transmission of mechanical power.

WHY ROLLER CHAIN ?

Roller chains are known for their durability and high load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for applications such as conveyor systems, motorcycles, bicycles, industrial machinery, and many others. They come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different power transmission needs. Roller chains are designed to minimize friction and wear, ensuring smooth and efficient power transfer. Regular lubrication and maintenance are essential to prolong their lifespan and maintain their performance.

THE USE OF ROLLER CHAIN

Roller chains have a wide range of applications in various industries and mechanical systems. They are primarily used for transmitting power or motion between rotating components, often in a linear or rotational fashion. Illustrating their versatility and importance in a wide range of industries and machinery, here are just a few examples of the many applications of roller chains :

Industrial Machinery, Automotive and Transportation, Agricultural Equipment, Material Handling, Construction Equipment, Power Transmission, Bicycles and Motorcycles, Agricultural Equipment, Renewable Energy.
