The three features of transmission chain

People can see transmission chain in a lot of places.but few people who know it clearly.Thus,I'd like to introduce it to you.

The chain is one of the common drive equipment. Its working principle is quite simple. The chain gains the transmission efficiency by reducing the energy loss in the power transmission process. Generally speaking, chain transmission is mainly applied in the situations where the power is big and the speed is slow. Only in these situations can this chain drive have the obvious advantages.

The chain used in chain transmission has a lot of types. It includes the following types, such as silent chain, roller chain, leaf chain, bush chain and so on. In the following passage we will discuss some common types and their features.

First, stainless steel chain. As its name indicates, the main casting material is the stainless steel. It can be used in the high-temperature or low-temperature working condition because it has the excellent corrosion resistance. The main application fields include a lot of industries, such as chemical industry, food industry, processing industry and pharmaceutical industry.

Second, self-lubricating chain. The main material is a kind of special sintered metal. This metal is drenched with the lubricating oil. This chain has the good abrasion-proof and corrosion-proof properties. At the same time, it has the self-lubricating function and it is very convenient to use this chain. The working life is quite long on basis of the above-mentioned features. Generally speaking, it is often applicable for these working environments where the abrasion-proof requirement is high and the maintenance is not easy. The automatic production line in the food industry is a good example.

Third, rubber chain. The manufacturing method is different from other transmission chain. Different rubbers are pasted on the U-shaped plate. Then, the rubber chain is formed. The used rubbers are mainly the natural rubber and the silicone rubber. This chain is characterized by the excellent abrasion-proof property, low noise and shockproof ability.

Fourth, high-tensile chain. It is a special roller chain. It is formed by means of improving the chain plate and axis pin. Compared with common transmission chain, its tensile strength is higher, its anti-force capacity is better and its fatigue resistance is more excellent.

In a word, according to the above-mentioned introduction, we get a general idea about the common types of transmission chain. Meanwhile, we know that different transmission chain have their features and application situations. So when people select transmission chain, they must know their specific working environments.
