double pitch transmission chain for automation system

Double Pitch Drive Chain is a kind of lightweight chain derived from Short Pitch Precision Roller Chain, whose pitch is twice that of Short Pitch Precision Roller Chain, but the other structural forms and part sizes are the same as those of Short Pitch Precision Roller Chain.

Description

Double Pitch Drive Chain is ideal for applications requiring small power transmission, low speed, and long transmission center distances. Its larger pitch allows for efficient operation over greater distances, making it a preferred choice for specific industrial scenarios.

Design & Structure

  • Composed of inner and outer links, including inner chain plate, outer chain plate, pin, sleeve, and roller.
  • Similar in structure to short pitch precision roller chains, inheriting their high efficiency and reliability.
  • Pitch (distance between chain rollers) is a key design parameter, influencing load capacity and transmission smoothness.

Advantages

  • Large Pitch: Accommodates greater transmission center distances and enables higher power transmission for suitable applications.
  • High Efficiency & Reliability: Benefits from proven chain transmission principles and robust construction.
  • Lower Cost & Easy Maintenance: Simple structure makes manufacturing and servicing straightforward.

Application & Principle

  • Transmits power and motion via precise meshing of chain and sprocket wheel teeth.
  • Excels in applications demanding large drive center distances and high transmission ratios.
  • Widely used in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, food processing, and other industries.

Considerations

  • Best suited for low speed and small power transmission scenarios.
  • May generate higher dynamic loads at high speeds or heavy loads; select pitch and chain type based on specific requirements.
  • Quality of pins and sleeves is critical to chain durability and performance.

Double Pitch Drive Chain combines robust efficiency, reliability, and versatility, making it an excellent solution for long-distance, low-speed power transmission needs across various industries.
