Roller Chain / Power Transmission Chains

Roller Chain or Bush Roller Chains are the basic of chaining system. All major chains are made from this principle. The basic application of such chains is transmission of power from one sprocket or toothed wheel to other. Even no of sprockets can be used in series for transmission of power. So it is also well known as Transmission Chain or Transmission Roller Chains. Most common example of such chains is Bicycle or Motorcycle Chain etc.

The Jaycon make roller chain design reduces friction compared to simpler conventional designs, resulting in higher efficiency and less wear. Still Continuous lubrication of pin, cleaning, lubrication of roller chains is of primary importance for efficient operation and long life. The need of lubrication is not just to the outside of the chain but especially to the inner surfaces between the pins and bushings and to the bushings and rollers, is a source of irritation for almost all users of roller chains. Smooth revolving of roller on pin increases the efficiency of chain and avoids wear & tear of chain.

The size of chain defined by pitch of chain (distance between center of consecutive rollers in chain), Diameter of Roller which is designed on basis of Diameter of Sprocket and no. of teethes on sprocket, thickness of plates calculated by load to be taken etc. Simplex Roller Chain, Duplex Roller Chain, Triplex Roller Chain are various designs of chain on the basis of load to be taken. Specific application and design of chain is categorized in varieties of chains like Conveyor Roller Chain, Transmission Roller Chain, Link Chain, Attachment Chain, Bucket Elevator Chain, Stainless Steel Chain etc. This entire are has basic design of Roller Chain and end application categorize it by specific name. This becomes easy for manufacturer and end user to define the requirements in machines or mechanism.
