leaf plate chain for heavy duty applications in industry

Plate Chain is widely used in heavy-duty lifting, balancing, and motion transmission applications, thanks to its robust structure and outstanding performance.

• Simple structure: Consists of several chain plates connected by pins, enabling efficient power transmission and load bearing. The chain plate is the main load-bearing part, typically punched from steel plate with varying thickness and size depending on chain model. Pins, made from carbon steel or alloy steel, connect chain plates and transmit power.
• High tensile strength: Plate chains generally have greater tensile strength than roller chains, making them ideal for suspension, counterbalance, and motion transmission in machine tools, elevators, oven doors, forklift screws, spinning machines, and similar applications.
• Heavy duty applications: Plate chains run on pulleys instead of sprockets, providing excellent performance in lifting and balancing heavy loads. Their compact design and high fatigue strength suit long-term use in demanding environments.
• Materials and manufacturing precision: Made from selected steels and heat-treated for high strength and durability. Manufactured with precision comparable to roller chains, ensuring reliability and longevity.
• Types of plate chains: Includes AL type, BL/LH type, and others, differing in plate thickness, pin diameter, and applicable scenarios to meet diverse industrial requirements.
