Roller Chain
Roller chain are mechanical components widely used for power transmission and motion control in various applications. They consist of a series of interconnected links that form a continuous loop. Roller chains are available in a range of sizes and standards. Depending on the application's requirements, chains can be made from various materials, such as steel, stainless steel, or plastic. The 3 most common types are a simplex, consisting of a single row of roller chain links, a duplex, featuring a double row of chain links and triplex which consist of three rows of links. The pitch of the chain refers to the distance between links and is the measurement from one roller pin centre to the other. Smaller pitch chains run smoother than larger pitch chains.
