20ASS-1 Stainless Steel Chain Structure and Composition
The structure and composition of the 20ASS-1/100SS Simplex Short Pitch Stainless Steel Roller Chain are made up of several key components, each designed to work together for optimal performance in various industrial applications.
Chain Plate
The chain plate is the core structural element of the short pitch stainless steel roller chain. It consists of two main parts: the inner plate and the outer plate. These plates are connected by the pin shaft, which allows them to move in a synchronized manner. The plates are typically made from high-strength stainless steel to provide durability and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments.
Roller
The roller is the primary bearing element of the chain, providing the contact surface that helps the chain move smoothly along the sprockets. Each roller is composed of a roller body and a roller shaft. The roller body fits precisely over the inner and outer plates of the chain, with the roller shaft secured through the central opening of the roller. This design allows the roller to rotate freely, reducing friction and ensuring efficient power transmission.
Pin Shaft
The pin shaft serves as the critical connecting component of the chain, linking the chain plates to the roller. It passes through the inner plates and connects them to the rollers, enabling the chain to function as a cohesive unit. The pin shaft is made from stainless steel, ensuring both strength and resistance to wear. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the chain, allowing it to operate under heavy loads and high-speed conditions.
Together, these components form the 20ASS-1/100SS Simplex Short Pitch Stainless Steel Roller Chain, offering high strength, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
