Leaf chain is a strong, flexible chain used in lifting applications. It is made of interlaced metal links held together by rivet pins. Leaf chain has excellent tensile strength, which allows for balancing and low-speed pulling. It can also be used in flat pulleys. Leaf chain typically consists of two layers of interlaced links, but chain with three or four layers provides greater lifting ability and strength. Silent chain is a connection of toothed links that engage with sprocket teeth. Silent chain produces less noise output than other chain types. Silent chain is used in power transmission applications and industrial conveying solutions.
