Chain Couplings Roller Chain Type

Roller Chain couplings

Roller Chain type couplings consist of two radially sprocketed hubs that engage a strand of double pitch roller chain. Chain couplings are used for low to moderate torque and speed applications. The meshing of the sprocket teeth and chain transmits torque and the associated clearances accommodate angular, parallel and axial misalignment.

Chain couplings require periodic lubrication depending on the application. The lubrication is typically brushed onto the chain and a cover is used to help keep the lubrication on the coupling.
