Applications
1.2.3RS-HT Roller Chain Heavy transmission: Construction machines, agriculture machines, and ten- sion applications Application Example RS-HT Roller Chains have higher tensile strength and less elastic elongation in comparison with RS Roller Chains. These characteristics are good for “lift- ing” applications (at low cycles), construction machines, and agriculture equip- ment (Figure 1.5).

Construction and Features Compared with RS Roller Chains, RS-HT Roller Chains have the features shown below and in Table 1.4. Appearance (1) Link plate thickness is equal to the next-larger chain. (2) Quad-staked riveting on the pin head helps hold the link plate on the pin. (3) Rollers are seamless, not curled.
