A Roller Chain Connecting Link is used within the realm of mechanical power transmission. It is used in heavy machines and industrial equipment by connecting two ends of a roller chain to create a closed-loop system. This closed-loop allows for the efficient transfer of mechanical power from one sprocket or gear to another. These connecting links consist of two main components: two inner plates and a pair of pins with retaining clips. The inner plates have strategically positioned holes to accommodate the pins, which are inserted through the roller chain's outer links. Once the pins are in place, the retaining clips secure them, ensuring a reliable connection.
Attributes:
• Made from high-strength steel, ensuring durability and resistance to heavy loads and abrasive environments
• Designed to withstand high tensile loads, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications
• The holes for the pins are accurately positioned to ensure a snug fit, preventing chain misalignment
Applications:
A Roller Chain Connecting Link is used in elevators that join and secure the ends of the roller chain, ensuring smooth and reliable vertical transportation.
