Types and Applications of Stainless Steel Chains

Stainless steel chain is a mechanical power chain with high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and other characteristics, widely used in multiple fields. Its types are diverse, and according to different classification criteria, it can be divided into the following categories:

According to their usage and characteristics, stainless steel chains can be divided into heavy-duty chains, ocean chains, decorative chains, short section chains, cowshed chains, and cold formed chains. Heavy duty chains have high load-bearing capacity and are widely used in lifting and hoisting applications; The ocean chain is made of 316L stainless steel material, suitable for marine environments; Decorative chains are beautiful and durable, mainly used for home and garden decoration; Short chain has high strength and is suitable for fields such as electric doors and rolling shutter doors; Cattle pen chains are commonly found in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry; Cold forging chains have high strength and good flexibility, and are widely used in industries such as steel, coal, and building materials.

According to form, stainless steel chains can be divided into ordinary chains, reverse bending chains, wide plate chains, double-sided chains, scraper chains, and plate chains. The ordinary chain structure is simple and has high load-bearing capacity; Reverse bending chain is suitable for shaft type mechanical equipment with large transmission slip; Wide plate chain has strong load-bearing capacity and can be used under high load conditions; Double sided chains are commonly used in conveying machinery; Scraper chains are widely used in the transportation, collection, and cleaning of granular materials; The circular holes of the chain plate are perfectly processed to prevent the chain threads from falling off.

In terms of application, stainless steel chains are widely used in industrial equipment, food and beverage production lines, water treatment equipment, medical equipment, aviation and aerospace technology, agricultural machinery and other fields. On the food production line, stainless steel chains can ensure the quality and hygiene safety of food; In bridge construction, stainless steel chains are used as cables to improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the bridge.

In short, stainless steel chains come in various types and have a wide range of applications, making them important components in various mechanical equipment and transmission devices.
