Overview:

Chains are mechanical components widely used for power transmission and motion control in various applications. They consist of a series of interconnected links that form a continuous loop. Chains can be made from various materials, such as steel, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application's requirements.

Features and benefits:

• High load capacity
• Long service life
• High speed capability 

Product type and designs:

• Roller Chains- Roller chains have cylindrical rollers between the links, reducing friction and allowing for smoother motion. They are commonly used in industrial applications, motorcycles, and bicycles.
• Bush Chains- Bush chains have bushings between the links, providing a simpler and more economical design. They are used in lighter-duty applications, such as agricultural equipment and conveyor systems.
• Silent Chains- Silent chains, also known as inverted-tooth chains or silent synchronous chains, have specialized tooth profiles to reduce noise and vibration. They are often used in timing and power transmission applications.
• Leaf Chains- Leaf chains consist of interconnected leaf-shaped plates, providing high tensile strength and wear resistance. They are commonly used in forklifts and lifting applications.

Applications:

Chains are a versatile and widely used power transmission component in various mechanical systems. Here are examples of applications in which chains might be used:

• Automotive
