Plastic block chain

Plastic block chain

Plastic Block chain is a chain with a simple structure in which block-shaped links are connected with connecting pins.

RS drive chain sprockets can be used, and a smaller chain pitch (9.525 - 25.4 mm) than the top chain allows for a smaller dead space for smoother transfers.

Small chain widths (13-63 mm) allow installation in small spaces.

※Snap Cover chains with a plastic cover installed on a steel chain with large allowable load are also available.
 Selection can be made according to the load and the atmosphere of use.
