Roller Chain: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction to Roller Chains & Sprockets

Roller chains are a type of chain used to transmit power in various types of industrial machinery. This chain consists of a series of cylindrical rollers that are held together by side links and are positioned in the chain at equal intervals. The power transmission is achieved by engaging the chain with a sprocket, which is a toothed wheel that meshes with the chain. The sprocket and chain combination is used to transfer power and motion between two points.

Types of Sprockets Used With Roller Chains

There are different types of sprockets that can be used with roller chains:

• Plain bore sprockets
• Taper bushed sprockets
• QD bushed sprockets
• Split sprockets
• Idler sprockets
