Product Information
Rotary chains were heavy duty cranked link chains developed mainly for chain drive applications involving extremely weighty loads or particularly adverse operating conditions. Chains of the type are particularly resistant to violent shocks, wear and intense operating conditions, and also have consequently enjoyed increasing achievement in an array of applications recently.
Generally, rotary chain dimensions are standardized under ISO 3512, ANSI B 29.10 and DIN 8182. One significant benefit of rotary chains is definitely that their links are all built to the same pattern, making it easier to lengthen or shorten the chains when necessary. They have another benefit over regular roller chains – all links are at the mercy of the same degree of wear.
ELITE rotary chains with cranked links are fitted with cotter pins. The chain plates can be found in naturally hardened steel or special tempered metal, according to the anticipated mechanical load. Chains subjected to extremely 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.
