Roller Chains
Roller chains are among the most widely used chain systems in industrial applications, designed to deliver reliable power transmission and smooth operation under demanding conditions. These chains conform to internationally recognized standards such as DIN 8187, DIN 8188, and DIN 8181, ensuring compatibility and high performance in machine and plant construction worldwide.
International Standards and Classifications
One of the key advantages of roller chains is their compliance with various global standards, allowing seamless integration into different mechanical systems.
- DIN 8187 – Corresponds to the ISO 606 European (BS) Standard (e.g., 08B, 10B). This type is commonly used in European machinery and offers precise engineering for high-performance transmission.
- DIN 8188 – Matches the ISO 606 American (ANSI) Standard (e.g., 08A, 10A). These chains are designed to meet the requirements of American industrial applications and heavy-duty systems.
- DIN 8181 – Equivalent to ISO 1275 Double Pitch Precision Roller Chains, offering optimized performance for applications that require longer pitch and reduced weight.
By following these standards, roller chains ensure interchangeability, consistent quality, and maximum efficiency across a wide range of industries.
Versatile Industrial Applications
Roller chains are not limited to basic drive and gear systems. With the right configurations and attachments, they can perform specialized tasks in various sectors:
Machine and Plant Construction: Roller chains are used as primary drive systems, providing stable power transmission for industrial machinery.
Conveyor and Transfer Systems: With suitable attachments, they enable smooth product movement in production lines.
Lifting Systems: Their strength and durability make them ideal for hoisting and material handling applications.
Lantern Gears and Custom Mechanisms: Modified roller chains can be adapted for specific engineering solutions where precision and reliability are critical.
For industries requiring unique solutions, Roller Chains with Extended Pins, Outside Roller Chains, and Scraper Chains offer tailored functionality for demanding environments and specialized machinery.
