Product Info Plastic block chain
Plastic block chain is a chain with a simple structure, consisting of block-shaped links connected by joint pins.
RS Drive chain sprockets can be used, and by using a smaller chain pitch (9.525 to 25.4 mm) than Top chain, the transition area (dead space) can be made smaller, making it easier to transfer.
The chain width is small, ranging from 13 to 63 mm, so it can be installed in small spaces.
*We also have Snap cover chain, which are steel chains with plastic covers attached and have a large allowable tension.
You can select according to the tension and environment in which it will be used.
