Definition and structure introduction of I plate chain and rolling chain

1. Plate chain

Plate chain is a kind of chain carrying the power of sprocket transmission, composed of multiple plane pieces. With its simple structure, strong and light weight, it is a commonly used chain form in transmission and transportation.

2. Rolling chain

Rolling chain is a kind of chain carrying the sprocket transfer power, which is composed of multiple rollers. It has a complex structure and large weight, but because its roller can effectively reduce the friction between the chain and the wheel, so it has higher transmission efficiency and more uniform load distribution.

Ⅱ、Movement mode of plate chain and rolling chain

1.Plate chain

The movement of the plate chain is plane sliding, creating friction with the sprocket. Therefore, in the process of high-speed transmission, the friction and wear of the plate chain is larger, but also easy to produce noise.

2. Rolling chain

The movement of the rolling chain is rolling, rolling between the rollers on the wheel of the sprocket, so it produces less friction and wear, and the noise is relatively small.

Ⅲ. Scope of application of plate chain and rolling chain

1. Plate chain

Plate chain is mainly suitable for low speed and light load transmission and transmission, such as conveying wood, rubble and grain.

2. Rolling chain

Rolling chain is mainly suitable for high-speed and heavy-load transmission, such as automobiles, ships, machine tools, etc., but also widely used in lifting and traction equipment.
