The components that go into engineering chains
Tsubaki of Canada offers a broad portfolio of chains, such as engineering chains – ideal for sanitary environments, extreme temperatures, freezers, or exposure to corrosion chemicals, the outdoors, or excessive moisture. Each engineering chain by Tsubaki is specially constructed and tested by the company to outlast other chains while making applications cost-effective. Every one is made of three fundamental dimensions – pitch, roller diameter, and inside link width – and is compatible with the sprockets when these dimensions are equal.
Two types of construction
There are two types of construction for engineering chains: press fit and slip fit. Press fit is more common, putting the pins and sidebars together with a tight forced fit to keep pins and bushing rotating about fixed points and boost fatigue life. The slip-fit design of these chains have a loose fit between pins and sidebars, making assembly easier.
The following parts make up each Tsubaki engineering chain:
