Lubrication-free roller chain

· Providing continuous lubrication is always the best way to maximize chain life. However, for applications that require cleanliness and freedom from oil contamination, are difficult to maintain, need to reduce daily lubrication costs, or demand the longest possible chain life, TYC offers a comprehensive solution package—including the SL, SLB, SLH, and O-ring series chains. These products are suitable for both drive and conveyor applications.
· Self-lubricating (SL) chains are conventional sintered bushing chains designed for standard operating conditions. These chains have a tensile strength lower than that of ANSI-standard roller chains.
· The SLB (SLB) chain design features the same tensile strength as ANSI/ISO standard chains and is suitable for use in wet environments, as both the chain links and pins are coated. The SLB chain is particularly well-suited for conveying applications due to its roller assembly. TYC offers a wide range of chain sizes and accessories to meet your diverse needs.
· The SLH (SLH) chain has the same characteristics as the SLB chain, and its design features a maximum working load identical to that of ANSI-standard roller chains. It is suitable for...
For drive applications ranging from low to medium speeds. For information on use in high-speed or high-load applications, please consult TYC for further details.
· O-ring chains feature seals that help retain high-quality lubricants and prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the chain’s bearing area. They are the most durable lubrication-free chains, especially in agricultural harvesting equipment. [Click to view more]

Corrosion-resistant chain

These chains exhibit high corrosion resistance thanks to special coatings or materials specifically designed for use in humid and corrosive working environments. Based on varying performance requirements and cost considerations, TYC offers a variety of chain options, including nickel-plated chains, galvanized chains, chains with optimal coatings, and stainless steel chains.

Wear-resistant series

· As the chain operates, the pins continuously rub against the bushings and gradually wear down. Consequently, the chain elongates during operation. In harsh environments, the chain stretches even faster, which shortens its service life.
· TYC offers solutions to enhance chain life. Depending on application requirements, wear resistance can be improved through specially formulated processes or coatings.

Side-bent chain

Side-bend (SB) chains increase the clearance between the pins and bushings as well as between the chain links, thereby providing additional side bend capability when needed. Side-bend chains offer exceptional flexibility when used on curved tracks. [Click to view more]

Hollow pin chain

Because the pins are made from precision hollow tubes rather than solid rods, hollow-pin (HP) chains offer limitless possibilities for the spacing between crossbars and attachments, making them an excellent choice for a wide variety of conveyor designs. They allow for easy assembly and disassembly of attachments connected to the base chain, reducing both time and costs during installation and maintenance. Seamless hollow pins provide superior precision and wear resistance. [Click to view more]

Type C roller chain

C-type roller chains use straight side plates instead of figure-8-shaped links; apart from the link shape, their dimensions are identical to those of the ANSI standard roller chain series. [Click to view more]

Lug-type extended-pin chain

· The TYC snap-on top chain is available in 1/2” or 3/4” pitch and can be configured for either straight-line or side-mounted arrangements. Both ends of the pin, which is free of rivets, feature additional extensions that allow attachments to be easily snapped on or removed. The precision of all components ensures a flat conveying surface, providing a smooth and seamless object-handling experience. Even in the most demanding working environments, its optimal hardness, high tensile strength, and precise pitch control guarantee accurate engagement and reliable operation.
· The TYC snap-on top chain is available in both carbon steel and stainless steel materials. The nickel-plated chain, with a carbon steel base chain to maintain strength, offers an economical alternative to corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
· TYC snap-on chains can be customized to meet the unique requirements of your application—whether in terms of size or functionality. [Click to view more]

Rollerless chain

The rollerless chain has the same tensile strength and part dimensions as the ANSI standard series, except that it lacks rollers. The chain bushings engage directly with the sprocket teeth. Special sprockets may be required. [Click to view more]
