Reliable Heavy-Duty Leaf Chains for Machinery

Product Detail

Leaf chain is a type of chain used for power transmission and material handling applications. It is a flexible, load-bearing chain that is made up of interconnected metal plates or "leaves" that are linked together to form a continuous loop. Leaf chain is commonly used in overhead conveyor systems, cranes, hoists, and other equipment where a flexible and reliable chain is required. Leaf chain is designed to be able to handle high loads and to resist deformation under load, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. The flexible design of the chain allows it to bend and contour to the shape of the equipment it is attached to, making it ideal for use in tight spaces or where limited clearance is available. Advantages of leaf chain include its high strength, flexibility, and durability. It is also easy to install and maintain, and it can be used in a wide range of operating environments, from standard indoor conditions to harsh outdoor environments. When selecting a leaf chain for a specific application, it is important to consider factors such as the load to be carried, the speed of operation, and the operating environment, as these will impact the selection of the chain size and material. Additionally, compatibility with the sprockets and other components of the system should also be taken into account.

Application

The parts of the LL series leaf chain are derived from the BS roller chain standard. The outer chain plate and pin diameter of the chain plate are equal to the outer chain plate and pin shaft of the roller chain with the same pitch. It is a light series leaf chain. It is suitable for linear reciprocating transmission structure. The minimum tensile strength values ​​in the table are not working loads for leaf chains. When upgrading the application, the designer or user should give a safety factor of at least 5:1.
