Pintle Chain 400/662/700/800/ 900 Class

400 Class Pintle Chain

400 class pintle chains are carved from one piece of cast counteract link construction connected by steel pins. The pins stay intact against sidebars with the help of a head stopper, the stopper provides the maximum locking effect when the chain is under load. The construction ensures the durability of the chain by allowing the pins to link inside the barrel. 

600 Class Pintle Chain Ley Bushed chains

600-class are the most commonly used type, due to its durability, superior performance, and high strength, they are best for elevated potency, long and smooth operation.

700 Class Pintle Chain Water Treatment Chain

800 Class Pintle Chain

800-class is more durable and robust, and the construction is the same, but the pins are specially designed to prevent breakage as they are used in heavy-duty works such as elevating and mining applications.

What is the pintle chain? 

A pintle chain is a type of chain drive in which the links are held together by metal pins that maintain the rigidity of the sidebar link and retain themselves in the links. It comprises a series of links sufficient in number to make it long as the desired length. They are used to transmit mechanical power from one place to another. 

Construction:

The chain consists of a series of identical links, each comprising sidebars, and a cylindrical barrel. The sidebars are flared outward to give space between the flattened end portions and bars. The links are connected by pins having D-shape cross-sections which extend through an aligned opening in the respective tubular portions. 

Uses of pintle chain 

Pintle chains are used in the food processing apparatus. Non-corrosive chains are used in machines where corrosive chemicals are present. Links having smooth contours help in projecting sharp edges. They are highly used in agricultural applications. Water factories use the chain for water treatment facilities. It's used in conveyor belts for conveying and driving applications. They are also used in mining and elevating applications. The most common use of these chains is in vehicles, bicycles, etc. Some other machines where pintle chains are found are sand spreaders, manure spreaders, forage harvesters, baggers, live bottom trailers, forestry, grain handling, and many more.
