Types and characteristics of chain couplings

Time: 2018-04-15 Browse:
What are the types and characteristics of chain couplings? Chain couplings are couplings that connect two half couplings with gears through a common chain. Commonly used chain couplings are: GL type roller chain coupling, KC type sprocket (chain) coupling, nylon chain coupling, toothed chain coupling, etc.Roller chain couplings are divided into single-row and double-row roller chains. The main difference between KC chain coupling and GL roller chain coupling is that the KC has a cover outside, and the cover is for the sake of beauty and at the same time , It can also play a certain role in protecting the safety of workers. The cover can play a certain buffer role when the chain accidentally breaks, thereby reducing injury.
    The chain coupling is low in cost, does not require high installation accuracy, and has a certain relative displacement compensation capability.It has the characteristics of convenient assembly and disassembly, light weight and reliable work.And the chain structure is simple and consists of only four parts, two shafts, chain, cover, general sprocket, the size of the chain is 4 points, 5 points, 6 points, 8 points, 1 inch, 1 inch and a half, 1 inch 6, 2 inches , 2 and a half inches, 3 inches. . .Chain couplings are available with or without cover. The material of the cover is made of aluminum.
    The chain coupling can be applied to the shaft transmission of agricultural machinery, mining, chemical, engineering, textile, light industry, lifting and transportation and other machinery. It can be applied to wet, dusty and high-temperature working conditions. The disadvantage is that the chain coupling must have It can run at high speed only under the condition of protective cover and good lubrication. The reason is that if the chain is not well lubricated, it is easy to break, which will cause the machine to stop working and become dangerous. Therefore, the chain coupling is best equipped with a protective cover. , Of course, it can be used if the speed is not high.
