Product Information
Rotary chains were developed primarily for chain drive applications involving extremely heavy loads or particularly heavy duty cranked link chains adverse operating conditions. Chains of the type are especially resistant to violent shocks, wear and severe operating conditions, and have consequently enjoyed increasing achievement in a wide selection of applications in recent years.
Generally, rotary chain dimensions are standardized under ISO 3512, ANSI B 29.10 and DIN 8182. One significant benefit of rotary chains is certainly that their links are constructed to the same pattern, making it easier to lengthen or shorten the chains when needed. They have another benefit over standard roller chains – all links are subject to the same level 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 steel, according to the expected mechanical load. Chains subjected to incredibly high loads are fitted with induction-hardened pins, producing them not only extremely tough, but also providing them with the highest possible degree of surface hardness.
