Iron chains are distinguished by different uses and functions

According to different uses and functions, the chains are divided into four types: transmission chains, conveyor chains, traction chains and special chains.1 Transmission chains are chains mainly used for transmitting power.2 Conveyor chains are chains mainly used for conveying materials.3 Traction chains are chains mainly used for pulling and lifting.4 Special chains are chains with special chain functions and structures mainly used for chain-locking special machinery. The structure of iron chains is divided into chain product series according to the basic structure of the chain, i.e. the shape of the components, the parts and parts engaged with the chain, and the ratio of the size between the parts, among similar products. There are many kinds of chains, but their basic structures are only the following, and all others are the deformation of these. We can see from the structure of the above kinds of chains that them are composed of chain plates, chain pins, bushings and other parts. The other types of chains only have the chain plates modified in different ways according to different needs, some have scrapers on the chain plates, some have guide bearings on the chain plates, and some have rollers on the chain plates, etc. These are all modifications for application in different applications.
