Showing Results For: Roller Chains
Roller Chains are required in any motion control system, their primary goal is to move a load of any kind. The motor is the part of the drive system that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. However, the work is not yet done. The output shaft of a motor needs to be connected in some way to the load. This last link can be made in a variety of ways. So-called direct drive systems, in which the motor is directly coupled to the load, are some of the most effective ways to connect with the load. Various intermediary techniques are available to connect the motor to the load if this is not practical. A roller chain is among them. The advantage of roller chains is that they are an easy and uncomplicated means of transferring mechanical energy.
Roller chains are driven by a motor that drives the chain on a spinning sprocket. For roller chains to function, two different types of links must alternate.
A straightforward way to convey mechanical energy using a normal chain link construction is with roller chains. This is made up of several cylindrical rollers connected by side links and turned by a motor through a spinning sprocket. Compared to belt drives, they are typically more precise and offer a powerful, incredibly flexible mode of power transmission.
Duplex - These chains are like simplex chains but comprise three rows of plates.
Roller Chains are made up of the following materials:
There are several types of Roller Chains used according to their functionality, which are listed below:
Roller chains are most frequently used to transport products throughout production facilities and to transmit the mechanical power of industrial machinery. Typical industries that use Roller Chains:
