Tsubaki Plastic Modular Chain Raised Rib Type - 3

Raised-Rib Chain Features Dead plate Transfer plate Chordal action Chordal action When using a dead plate where the leading edge of the plate is situated forward of the sprocket center, the width of the gap between the dead plate and the top surface of the chain will vary as a result of the up and down motion of the chain caused by chordal action. Conveyed objects may get caught in the gap and tip over depending on their shape. When using a transfer plate, the comb-like fingers of the transfer plate begin sliding in-between the ribs of the top surface of the chain at a point where chordal...
