2.1.4 Hollow Pin Chain Conveyance, simplified attachment installation, general uses
Construction and Features In Hollow Pin Chain, the pin has a hole, allowing for the installation of various attachments (Figure 2.7). Usually these chains are used for conveyors (Figure 2.8). Sizes are shown in Tables 2.3 and 2.4. The advantages of installing attachments into the hollow pin include the following: (1) The hollow pin is at the center of articulation, and always keeps the pitch length. Regardless of whether the chain is straight or wrapping around the sprocket, the center distance of attachments is always the same. Figure 2.8 shows an example of installing a mesh net. Even when the chains bend, the mesh net does not expand or contract.
