Coveyor Chain Flashcards
Engineering class chains are?
Drive chain
Roller conveyor chain
Bushes chain
Welded chain
Bar and pin chain
Barloop chain
Detachable link chain
Hole threw chain pin for various attachments.
Hollow pin chain
Has xtra clearances between pins bushings and link plates to allow side flexing around curves or flexibility?
Uses standard sprocket
Side bow chain ( curved or radius chain )
Disadvantage of side bow Cain. ( Curved chain)
Backlash on start or stop
Chain that uses sheave has no bushings or rollers. (Link plate assembled on pins)
Leaf Cain (cable chain)
What is leaf chain used for?
Tow motor , elevator, counter weight
Used to push pull or drag
3/16 to 2 inch pitch size
Carry’s more horsepower per width than standard roller chain
Increase load by making chain wider
Many links positioned very close together
Silent Chain or inverted tooth chain
Has a flat surface on top or bottom called a plate that is part of the Cain or connected to the Cain with the pin.
Table top chain
What makes a chain engineering class?
Higher safety factor
2 inch and above pitch
Has small rollers for better tooth engagement.
Looks like two half links
Bend in link makes it stronger
Used for power transmission
Drive chain
Used to convey bull material parts or assembly of parts.
Designed with attachments to connect to the carrying device to the chain.
Constructed of pins , bushings , rollers , sidebars , and attachments
Roller conveyor chain
Roller conveyor chain with no rollers.
Side bars drag
Bushed chain
Roller conveyor chain with no rollers and bushings welded to side bar.
Welded chain
Engineering class leaf chain
Used for lifting pulling dragging
No roller bushing or sprocket
Uses sheave
High tension applications
Used for draw bench or lifting device
Bar and pin chain
Designed for Economy, high strength, flexibility
Barloop chain
