An inverted tooth chain is a type of silent chain used in various industrial applications. It is different from other chains because its links do not have rollers. Instead, they have teeth that mesh with the teeth on the sprocket. Inverted tooth chains are known for their low noise and vibration, high speed, and accuracy. In this article, we will discuss the different types of inverted tooth chains available.
1. Standard Inverted Tooth Chain
The standard inverted tooth chain is the most common type of inverted tooth chain. It has a medium pitch and is used in various industrial applications such as conveyors, packaging machines, and printing machines. The standard inverted tooth chain is available in different materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and plastics, depending on the application requirements.
2. Double-Pitch Inverted Tooth Chain
The double-pitch inverted tooth chain has a longer pitch than the standard inverted tooth chain. It is used in applications that require a longer center distance between the sprockets. The double-pitch inverted tooth chain is commonly used in conveyors, material handling equipment, and drive systems.
3. Heavy-Duty Inverted Tooth Chain
The heavy-duty inverted tooth chain is designed for applications that require high strength and durability. It has a thicker link plate and a larger pin diameter than the standard inverted tooth chain. The heavy-duty inverted tooth chain is used in heavy-duty applications such as mining, construction, and oil and gas.
4. Stainless Steel Inverted Tooth Chain
The stainless steel inverted tooth chain is used in applications that require corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and chemical plants. The stainless steel inverted tooth chain is available in different grades such as 304, 316, and 17-4 PH.
5. Plastic Inverted Tooth Chain
The plastic inverted tooth chain is used in applications that require resistance to chemicals and low temperatures. It is commonly used in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing. The plastic inverted tooth chain is available in different materials such as acetal, nylon, and PEEK.

Sprockets for Silent Chains
Silent chain sprockets are an essential component of inverted tooth chains. They are designed to fit the teeth of the chain and provide smooth, precise motion. The inverted tooth chain and sprockets work together to provide high-speed, accurate motion with low noise and vibration. At our company, we also offer a wide range of silent chain sprockets for different applications. Without the sprockets, the inverted tooth chains will not function properly, making them an indispensable part of the system.
