Used in transportation systems, elevators, automotive and construction sectors, industrial applications, agricultural equipment, hollow pin chains offer many advantages with their strong and light weight. These chains are used in balers and harvesters in the agricultural sector, assembly lines in the automotive sector and all packaging lines. Hollow pin chain, which provides versatility in design, can be produced in single and double pitch, roller and non roller, bushing and non-bushing models; nickel plated carbon steel, delta plated and stainless steel.
What is Hollow Pin Chain?
Hollow pin chain, which has a special link pin design and thus differs from standard roller chains, consists of a pin, bushing and small roller. These links have a similar structure to ISO standard roller chains. It is available in three different types, with chain pins with through holes for mounting specially designed attachments.
Type1 Hollow Pin Chains
The first of these chain types is called Type 1. Similar to bushing chains, this product replaces the rollers in favor of hollow pins.
Type2 Hollow Pin Chains
Another type of chain is Type 2. This is a roller plate chain with a hollow pin instead of a bushing.
Type3 Hollow Pin Chains
Type 3, which corresponds to roller chain where the roller diameter exceeds the plate height, is another type of hollow pin chain used by different industries for different application areas.
Why Use Hollow Pin Chains?
Small and lightweight, often using two parallel chains on small conveyors without bushings, the hollow pin chain is used in a wide range of industrial applications. Used as a carrier in chip conveyors, roller belt systems and bucket elevators, the chains allow easy assembly and disassembly of attachments. Cross bars can be placed on any link without the need to disassemble the chain.
Hollow Pin Chains Application Areas
Hollow pin chains, which can be used in different application areas including conveyors, packaging machines and material handling systems, enable smooth operation of work processes thanks to their light weight and strength. Since two chains usually run in parallel (double helix), you can contact the experienced team of Makelsan Chain, which has been serving since 1980 and is an expert in the sector, for detailed information about hollow pin chains.
