A roller chain is a type of chain commonly used for power transmission in various mechanical systems. It consists of cylindrical rollers mounted on side plates, allowing for efficient movement over sprockets. Known for their durability and strength, roller chains are designed to handle high loads and speeds, making them suitable for industrial applications such as conveyors, machinery, and automotive systems. Regular maintenance, including lubrication, is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Their versatility allows them to be used in a wide range of settings, from heavy machinery to bicycles.
