Roller Chain Coupling Product Description

Chain couplings are utilized to transmit power between two shafts. Generally, chain couplings will be installed off the end of a motor or reducer (gearbox) and utilized to connect to a machine for efficient power transmission. A complete chain coupling consists of two hubs (or sprockets), one coupling chain, which appears similar to a strand of double roller chain and a cover. Not all applications will utilize a cover, however for both safety and coupling life they are recommended. Chain couplings are normally utilized in low speed, high torque applications and allow for 2 degrees misalignment between shafts. Chain couplings are considered an economical way to transmit power between shafts. Please contact Bearing Service to help provide or design in the right coupling for your application.

Compact and Powerful
Torque is apportioned over the whole roller chain and all sprocket teeth, and is held at a point close to the outer diameter of the sprockets. This construction and the superior qualities of CN EP roller chain combine to make a compact and lightweight coupling.

Safe and Smart
The casing, which revolves with the body of the coupling, has an attractive design. And unlike other couplings, there are no dangerous projecting bolts. Connecting and removing the shafts is simply accomplished using a connecting pin.

Easy Alignment
Shafts to be coupled should be aligned as accurately as possible along a straight line. Unfortunately, this proves quite difficult. The chain coupling provides necessary flexibility because the chain and sprocket produce a clearance. In addition to protecting the bearings from overheating and abrasion, it safeguards the machine during use.
