Side Bow Roller Chain 35SB 40SB 50SB 60SB 80SB Side Bow Chain

Side bow roller chains are power transmission chains used in industrial applications to transmit power between two rotary shafts. These chains are designed with rollers that are offset from the centerline of the chain, allowing the chain to bend laterally around sprockets and pulleys with less stress and wear compared to standard roller chains. The side bow feature of these chains enables them to accommodate misalignment between shafts or sprockets as well as support long spans. Side bow roller chains are commonly used in material handling, packaging, conveying, and food processing industries.

Side Bow Roller Chain Design Features

Side bow roller chain design is commonly used in conveyor applications where products need to be moved along an assembly line. The design features of side bow roller chain include:

Wide Link Plate: The wide link plates help to resist side flexing and bending of the chain, which can occur during operation.

Large Diameter Rollers: The larger diameter rollers help to reduce wear by distributing the load over a larger surface area.

Inner Plate Chamfers: The inner plate chamfers help to reduce the contact surface area between the roller and the inner plate, thereby reducing friction and wear.

Precision Pin Bushing: The precision pin bushing ensures that the chain articulates smoothly and efficiently, reducing wear and extending the life of the side bow chain.

Side Bow Clearance: The side bow clearance allows for the roller chain to flex and follow the path of the conveyor, reducing the risk of damage and wear.

Good Fatigue Strength: The design of the side bow roller chain provides good fatigue strength, allowing it to withstand repeated bending and flexing without failure.

High Load Capacity: The side bow roller chain is designed to handle high loads without stretching or breaking, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Overall, the design features of the side bow roller chain make it an effective and reliable solution for conveying products in a variety of industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and food processing.

Applications of Side Bow Roller Chain

Side bow roller chains are widely used in various industries for power transmission applications. The following are some of the applications of side bow roller chains:

Conveyor systems: Side bow roller chains are used in conveyor systems for carrying heavy loads over long distances. These chains are designed to handle the high forces and stress involved in the operation of conveyor systems.

Agricultural machinery: Side bow roller chains are commonly used in agricultural machinery such as tractors and combined for power transmission applications. These chains are designed to handle the harsh outdoor environment and provide reliable power transmission.

Printing presses: Side bow roller chains are used in printing presses to transfer paper from one location to another. These chains are designed to handle high speeds and loads involved in printing press operations.

Packaging machinery: Side bow roller chains are used in packaging machinery, such as filling machines or labeling machines, to move products along the production line. These chains are designed to handle the high speeds and accuracy required in packaging applications.

Material handling equipment: Side bow roller chains are used in material handling equipment such as forklifts, cranes, and hoists for lifting and moving heavy loads. These chains are designed to handle the high stresses involved in material handling operations.

Side Bow Roller Chain Maintainance

Side bow roller chains comprise of a series of links that are connected together in a specific pattern. They are used in various applications where loads need to be transferred, such as conveyor belts, industrial machinery, food processing equipment, and more. Proper maintenance of these chains is essential to ensure they operate efficiently and reliably, minimizing downtime and costly repairs. Here are some tips on how to maintain your side bow roller chain:

Keep the side bow chain clean and lubricated: Dirt, debris, and other contaminants can cause premature wear and tear on the chain, resulting in costly repairs. Use a mild solvent to clean the chain and apply a good-quality lubricant to keep it moving smoothly.

Check for wear: Regularly inspect your side bow roller chain for any signs of wear, such as elongated chain links, worn sprockets, broken rollers, or missing pins. Replace any damaged parts immediately to avoid causing further damage to the chain.

Adjust chain tension: Check the side bow roller chain tension periodically and adjust it accordingly to ensure it is not too loose or too tight. Improper tension can cause excessive wear on the chain, sprockets, and other components, which can lead to a breakdown.

Avoid excessive loads: Avoid overloading the side bow roller chain beyond its rated capacity, as this can cause severe damage to the chain, sprockets, and other parts. Always use the chain within the specified load capacity range.

Monitor temperature: Excessive heat can cause the side bow roller chain to expand and eventually break. Keep an eye on the temperature of the chain during operation and take measures to reduce any excessive heat generation.
