Structural features
The chain coupling uses a common chain and meshes with two parallel sprocket wheels with the same number of teeth. The main difference of the chain couplings of different structure types is that different chains are used. Commonly, there are double row roller chain couplings, single Roller chain coupling, toothed chain coupling, nylon chain coupling, etc.
Chain coupling has simple structure (four parts), convenient assembly and disassembly, two shafts that are connected without moving when disassembled, compact size, light weight, certain compensation ability, low requirements for installation accuracy, reliable operation and long life. Longer, lower cost and so on.
It can be used for shafting transmission of machinery such as textile, agricultural machinery, lifting and transportation, engineering, mining, light industry and chemical industry. Suitable for high temperature, humidity and dusty environments. It is not suitable for high speed, severe impact load and axial force transmission. Chain coupling should work under good lubrication and protective cover.
