INTRODUCTION TO TSUBAKI ATTACHMENT CHAIN 2. Double Pitch Attachment Chain This is the most commonly used attachment chain and is utilised widely in the automotive parts, electric, electronic, and precision machinery industries. Double pitch roller chain has the same basic construction as single pitch roller chain, but has twice the pitch length. A major benefit is that whilst larger conveyor lengths are possible, a double pitch chain uses only half the components of a single pitch chain in the same application, resulting in less components to wear. The choice of sprockets depends on the roller...

INTRODUCTION TO TSUBAKI ATTACHMENT CHAIN Chain Types In addition to standard single and double pitch attachment chain, two other chain types are commonly used for conveyance purposes: Hollow Pin Chain (HP) This particular design of chain has a hollow bearing pin allowing for the installation of various attachments. Usually these chains are used for conveyors. The advantages of installing attachments into the hollow pin include the following: • The hollow pin is at the centre of articulation, and always keeps the pitch length. Regardless of whether the chain is straight or wrapping around the...

INTRODUCTION TO TSUBAKI ATTACHMENT CHAIN twisting force is added to the bending force. Depending on the application, please ensure you consider these forces in your calculations. The shape of the attachment influences the design of the equipment. If slats do not cover the chain rollers, guide rails may be used to support the chain rollers on the return side. The return side of the chains can be supported by guide rails on the rollers unless bolts extend into the attachment. K Attachment This is an attachment made by installing A attachments on both sides of the chain. The attachment is called...

Extended Pin Attachment In this form, one end of the pin is extended. The attachment interval can vary the same as the A attachment (Figure 15). As shown in Figure 16, two sets of D attachment chains can be connected to cross rods, or jigs (such as blocks). The extended pins are subjected to bending and shearing forces. The return side of the D attachment chain can be supported by guide rails on the rollers.
