Tsubaki "Drive Chain (Roller Chain)" / Tsubakimoto Chain
Compared to gears, it has a high shock absorption capability! If it has a structure that supports the chain with a short shaft distance, it can be driven even if the shaft is vertical.
The "drive chain," also known as a roller chain, is a mechanical element that transmits power, such as from a motor, to a driven shaft as tension through rotating bodies called sprockets. It consists of five components: inner plates, outer plates, pins, bushings, and rollers, and is commonly used for low-speed, high-load power transmission and suspended drives. Additionally, it has excellent features such as the ability to achieve a large reduction ratio, high flexibility in shaft spacing, the capability for dual-side use, and multi-axis transmission, making it suitable for various applications with long service life, high strength, and corrosion-resistant specifications. 【Features】 ■ Achieves a large reduction ratio (generally up to 1:7) ■ Allows for long shaft spacing (usually less than 4m) ■ High flexibility in shaft spacing ■ Can be used on both sides of the chain, enabling multi-axis transmission ■ Easy to install and replace (simple cutting and splicing) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Other Features】 ■ If the structure supports the chain with a short distance between axes, it can be driven even if the axes are vertical. ■ Compared to belt drives, it allows for a smaller sprocket diameter at the same torque. ■ Since power transmission occurs over many teeth, sprocket tooth wear is more favorable than with gears. ■ It has a higher shock absorption capability compared to gears. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
