Aetna Bearing Company - Roller Chain and Accessories

Motion supplies roller chain and accessories for mechanical power transmission systems. Roller chain transmits mechanical power through linked rollers and a rotating sprocket that drives the chain. Motion stocks roller chain and accessories in a variety of pitches, series, link types, and materials. Roller chain's simple design accommodates many link and roller variations and makes it integral to conveyor systems. Small rollers are used in lightweight chains for light-load, high-speed applications.

Large rollers with greater pitch values give roller chain higher tensile strength to handle heavier loads. While cotter pins and rivets allow multi-strand roller chain configurations, attachment chain links fasten to the chain or replace existing links for lengthening or adapting an attachment.
