What Is Bush Conveyor Chain?
A bush conveyor chain is a strong, reliable choice for transporting materials in tough industrial settings. It doesn't always use rollers and relies on the bushings to reduce wear between the pins and the plates.
Bush Conveyor Chain Components
Inner and Outer Link Plates: These plates form the sides of the chain, providing structural integrity.
Bushings: Cylindrical components placed between the inner plates, allowing the pins to rotate smoothly.
Pins: Connect the inner and outer plates, passing through the bushings.
Rollers (Optional): Some bush chains include rollers to reduce friction when engaging with sprockets.
Comparison with Roller Chains:
While both bush and roller chains are used in conveying systems, bush chains typically lack rollers, making them more suitable for applications where rollers might be prone to wear or where the conveyed material could cause roller damage.
Bush Conveyor Chain Types
conveyor chain without rollers
These chains consist solely of bushings and pins, lacking any rollers.
conveyor chain with S small rollers (S-type)
Features rollers with diameters smaller than the width of the link plates. Enhanced protection of sprocket teeth and bushings, leading to extended service life.
conveyor chain with P large rollers (P-type)
Incorporates rollers with diameters larger than the width of the link plates. Improved rolling efficiency and reduced wear on both the chain and the conveyor track.
conveyor chain with F flanged rollers (F-type)
Equipped with rollers that have flanges on either side, guide the chain along the conveyor path, preventing lateral displacement.
