The flat top chain structure is very simple, consisting only of a chain plate with hinges on both sides and a pin shaft. One side of the hinge ring on both sides is connected to the fixed chain link of the pin shaft, which is called a fixed hinge ring. The hinge ring and the movable link of the pin shaft located on the other side of the inner gear are called the movable hinge ring. The movable hinge ring and the pin shaft form the hinge of the flat top chain. Due to the frequent contact with liquid substances during the use of flat top chains, the chain plate material is mostly made of stainless steel, although engineering plastics are also used. The steel flat top chain plate is cast into shape. So the structure of the chain plate can adopt more complex shapes as needed.

characteristics and application

Flat top chains have the advantages of simple structure, light weight, and easy manufacturing and maintenance. The top plate of the flat top chain provides a horizontal bearing surface of a certain width for conveying materials. The width of the top plate is determined according to the requirements of the conveyed material. When the chain meshes with the sprocket, the hinge ring itself is the part that meshes with the sprocket. Due to the small gap between the two sides of the parallel arranged top plate, it can only move in a straight line.
