Product Information
Rotary chains were developed mainly for chain drive applications involving extremely large loads or particularly adverse operating conditions. Chains of this 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 that their links are all constructed to the same pattern, making it simpler to lengthen or shorten the chains when required. They have another benefit over regular roller chains – all links are subject to the same heavy duty cranked link chains degree of wear.
ELITE rotary chains with cranked links are fitted with cotter pins. The chain plates are available in naturally hardened steel or special tempered metal, according to the expected mechanical load. Chains put through extremely high loads are fitted with induction-hardened pins, producing them not only quite challenging,
but also giving them the highest possible degree of surface hardness.
