BL866 Leaf Chain

Leaf chain:

SST machinery BL866 leaf chains are built of interlaced plates held together by rivet pins.

The chains are used for applications that require strong flexible linkage for transmitting motion or

lift. Specially selected steel and unique heat treatment assures high strength and durability.

This BL866 leaf chain generally has greater tensile strength than roller chains and runs over sheaves rather

than sprockets.

They are suitable for hanging, balancing or motion transmitting applications.

BL866 leaf chains are often used as counterweight chains for machine tools, elevators and oven doors,

fork lift trucks, and made to DIN8188 (ANSI) Std’s.

Plate chain is famous for its durability and high tensile strength.

They are mainly used for lifting equipment applications such as forklifts, forklifts and lifting rods.

These hard chains handle the lifting and balancing of heavy loads by using pulleys instead of sprockets for guidance.

Compared with roller chain, one of the main differences of plate chain is that it only consists of a series of stacked plates and pins, providing excellent lifting strength.

Plate chain is made of staggered plates and fixed together by rivet pins.

They are manufactured with the same accuracy as our roller chains. Plate chains are used in applications where strong flexible links are required to transmit motion or lift.

The specially selected steel and unique heat treatment ensure high strength and durability. The first or more numbers in the plate chain represent the chain pitch, and the last two numbers represent the tie of the chain.

Plate chain is the simplest steel chain, which only consists of chain plate and pin. This type of chain usually has greater tensile strength than roller chains and runs on pulleys rather than sprockets. They are suitable for suspension, balance or motion transmission applications. Plate chains are commonly used as counterweight chains for machine tools, elevators and oven doors, forklift masts, spinning machines, and similar lifting or balancing applications.

The plates are connected by pins and maintain tension on the chain.

Plate chains are known to engineers for their advantages in material handling, such as forklifts, forklifts, lifting rods, straddle carriers and other major works of civil engineering. Their long service life, high fatigue strength and maximum wear resistance make them ideal solutions for long-term projects that require both reliability and robustness. The compact design of the plate chain makes it suitable for various systems. Key parts of plate chain include:

Connecting plate: closely control the size of the plate, which can achieve high fatigue strength and long service life.

Pin: The pin passes through the plate and bears the shear force, while the plate hinges on the pin through the rotation on the pulley.
