The development of the conveyor chain structure has different requirements for the conveyor chain and the transmission chain and the drag chain. The functions of the conveyor chain to meet are: carrying the conveyor goods, meshing with the drive sprocket, running on the support track and small chain wear and elongation.

The development of conveyor chains and chain conveyors is complementary to each other. Combined with the chain conveyor to understand the development of conveyor chain, conveyor chain is necessary for workers engaged in the design and application of chain conveyor.

1, the development of chain structure to achieve the function of the chain conveyor can be in a variety of ways. Thus, the development of conveyor chain structure is promoted. These methods include:

The way in which goods are carried

a, the chain plate bearing; b, chain roller bearing.

2. The way it runs on orbit

A. The chain plate glides on the track; b, the chain roller rolling on the track; c, the chain accessories roll on the track.

3, the chain and drive sprocket meshing mode

a, the chain plate and sprocket teeth mesh; b, roller (or sleeve) and sprocket teeth mesh.
