Product Introduction: Double Capacity Chain
Double Capacity Chain made in Japan
Roller chains are used in a wide variety of fields, including steel, cement, and heavy machinery as key components for power transmission.
In applications requiring particularly high load capacity, it has been common to introduce double strands of chains in order to increase the breaking strength of the chain itself. Our “Double Capacity Chain,” is a product that achieves
nearly twice the breaking strength of conventional chains despite being a single strand chain by consisting of twice the number of side plates as a single strand chain.
“DC” type and “TC” type roller chains can operate on standard sprocket.
It also saves space and weight by reducing the width of the chain by about 25% and the weight by about 5% compared to a double strand chain.
For suitable applications, the benefits of total cost reduction can be achieved.
The “Double Capacity Chain” has been adopted by many heavy machinery manufacturers.
