What Is Chain Drive Roller?


Rollers for chain drive conveyors 

Chain-driven roller conveyor systems consist of a series of rollers, fitted with sprockets, supported by a structure driven by a chain connected to the motor. The precise joint between the rollers and the driving element is essential to ensure an efficient and accurate rotation: the chain locks into the sprockets making a high-friction contact which transfers the power to rollers and turns on the system.

Two main transmission systems can power up the rotary movement of chain-driven roller conveyors. In conveyors driven by chain loops, transmission passes from roller to roller. Alternatively, with better efficiency, fewer costs, and design constraints than the other one, rollers can be driven by a tangential chain that moves straight and provides a continuous power transmission.

Type of chain rollers: miniature/medium/heavy duty

Chain roller configuration

1141/1142
High-strength PA sprockets are used for higher rotational force and lower noise
1151/1152
Steel sprocket, suitable for heavy-duty transportation; matching plastic bearing seat can reduce noise and have a good appearance
1161/1162
Steel sprockets, steel steel-bearing seats, can bear a heavy load, and all steel structures, can be used in various temperature environments.
1211/1212
The sprocket and roller wall are conveyed by fixed friction, without accumulation capacity
1221/1222
The sprocket and the cylinder wall are driven by friction (adjustable) and have a certain accumulation capacity.
