bush chain for simple and direct mechanical transmission

Sleeve Chain features a simple yet effective design, ideal for direct transmission applications where reliability and cost-efficiency are key. The sleeve freely rotates around the pin and the absence of rollers minimizes wear between the chain and sprocket, resulting in a streamlined structure that is easy to manufacture and maintain.

Structural Features & Working Principle

• Simplified Structure: No rollers—just sleeves rotating around pins, reducing the number of components and simplifying manufacturing.
• Direct Transmission: The sleeve surface directly contacts the sprocket teeth, transmitting power and motion through simple meshing.
• Low Maintenance: Fewer parts mean easier upkeep and generally lower maintenance costs.

Key Advantages

• Cost-Efficient: Easy to produce, with lower material and manufacturing costs.
• Reliability & Durability: Well-suited for a wide range of environments, delivering dependable performance in basic transmission applications.
• Simplicity: Straightforward operation and ease of installation make it a practical choice for many use cases.

Applications

• Machinery requiring basic, direct power transmission
• Environments where smoothness and efficiency are less critical than cost and reliability
• General industrial, agricultural, and mechanical equipment

While sleeve chains may not offer the transmission smoothness of roller chains, their simple design, durability, and affordability make them a popular choice for essential power transmission needs.
