Product Information
Rotary chains were developed mainly for chain drive applications involving extremely large loads or particularly adverse operating conditions. Chains of the type are especially resistant to violent shocks, wear and intense operating conditions, and have therefore enjoyed increasing success in
an array of applications recently.
For the most part, rotary chain dimensions are standardized under ISO 3512, ANSI B 29.10 and DIN 8182. One significant benefit of rotary chains is usually that their links are built to the same design, making it simpler to lengthen or shorten the chains when needed. They have another benefit over regular roller chains – all links are subject to the same degree of wear.
ELITE rotary chains with cranked links are fitted with cotter pins. The chain plates are available in naturally heavy duty cranked link chains hardened steel or special tempered steel, according to the expected mechanical load. Chains put through incredibly high loads are fitted with induction-hardened pins, making them not only extremely tough, but also providing them with the highest possible level of surface hardness.
