Rollers minimize sprocket scrubbing and reduce friction in conveyor applications by rolling instead of sliding. They are carburized for higher wear resistance, strength, and hardness.
Bushes provide the bearing for pin rotation and for the rollers or sprockets. They are case carburized and ground to ensure durability and smooth operation.
Pins connect the chain links and are locked in the side links by an interference fit. They are finely thru-hardened, case-hardened, or carburized and ground based on application needs, with options for increased corrosion resistance through plating.
Side Links (or Side Plates) are tensile members of a chain, determining the chain pitch. They can be of straight or offset construction, hardened for optimum wear and longer life.
Forged Links are made from selected quality steels with alloy steel or stainless steel pins and bushes. They are designed to withstand heavy loads and provide extended service life without breakdowns.
