Oil Chain is a specialized chain designed for power transmission and motion control in oil drilling and other demanding industrial environments. Unlike belt transmission, oil chains utilize the direct meshing of chain and sprocket teeth, ensuring no elastic sliding or slipping, delivering accurate transmission ratios, reliable operation, and high efficiency.
Key Features
- High Strength & Abrasion Resistance: Manufactured from hot rolled steel and often heat treated for enhanced durability, oil chains perform reliably in harsh environments.
- High Load Carrying Capacity: Engineered to withstand extreme tensile stresses, these chains resist elongation and breakage while maintaining ductility and fatigue resistance.
- Special Design: Designed for optimal lubrication and to function in high temperature, humidity, dust, and polluted conditions.
- Wide Range of Types: Available as short pitch precision roller chains, curved plate roller chains for heavy-duty transmission, and chains for cement machinery, meeting diverse operational requirements.
Advantages over Belt Transmission
- No elastic sliding or slipping phenomenon
- Accurate average transmission ratio
- Reliable work and high efficiency
Application Areas
- Oil drilling equipment
- Cement machinery
- Industrial machinery requiring robust and reliable power transmission in extreme conditions
Considerations
- Higher cost compared to standard chains
- Susceptible to wear and elongation over time
- Requires regular maintenance for optimal performance
Oil Chains are the ideal solution for oil drilling and heavy industrial applications where reliability, strength, and resistance to harsh conditions are essential.
