About Conveyor Chain
Conveyor chain is used for material conveyance under harsh conditions, in specialty applications, or when material can be allowed to fall through gaps in the conveying surface. Like a transmission chain, a conveyor chain consists of journal bearings that are joined by link plates. These bearings consist of a case-hardened pin and bush to allow a roller to revolve while permitting articulation under high pressure. Conveyor chain is available in a range of pitches. Wheel-tooth strength determines the minimum pitch and chain rigidity determines the maximum pitch. In some applications, strengthening bushes may be used between the link plates to exceed the normal maximum pitch. Gaps between the wheel teeth are used to clear the bushes.<p>
