Leaf Chain

Their compact design and high fatigue strength make leaf pin chains a great choice. These can be used on various machines, such as forklift trucks, machine tools, draw bench chains and container pallet jacks. These chains can also be provided with alternate male and female ends and with an even number of pitches.

Leaf Pin Chains Benefits

Leaf pins have been designed using a special steel, which provides the highest resistance to breaking and sudden load. The pins are constructed from special steel that has outstanding resistance to bend. The pins' diameters and hole holes on plates are controlled precisely during the manufacturing process. This minimizes friction and rubbing and allows for a smoother movement of the inner plates.

Leaf pin chains are a benefit due to their small size and high endurance to fatigue. They are used in numerous applications. They can be used on machine tools, forklift trucks, draw bench chains and pallet jacks for containers. Furthermore, the chains come with male and female ends and come with an equal amount of pitches.

Leaf Pin Chains and Sprockets

Leaf pin chains are designed for slow-moving applications. Unlike roller chains and sprockets, leaf pin chains are constructed with pins instead of bushings or rollers. These pins are press-fit into the outermost plate. They offer high strength per foot and are usually used as counterweight chains in machine tools. They require proper lubrication to achieve a reasonable service life.

Leaf pin chain sprockets are typically secured to the shaft using one or more set screws or ANSI-standard-dimensioned keyways. However, these dimensions are not universal, and it is vital that the supplier of a particular leaf pin chain understands the appropriate keyway size for the chain's application.

A leaf chain is the simplest form of steel chain and is composed of interlaced link plates and pins. Leaf chain has a much higher tensile strength than roller chains. It also offers narrower overall width and is often used for balancing and lifting applications.

The wear and tear on sprockets are caused by friction. Every rotation of the chain causes the teeth to come into contact with the chain. In some cases, this wear and tear are so severe that the sprockets are worn out. The teeth of the sprockets eventually break off and the chain will not work properly.
