Construction and Components of DK Conveyor Chains
A DK conveyor chain has a structure as illustrated below, and the names of the components are stated in the drawing.
These components have functions specified below.

Pins
Pins support all the load acting on the chain together with
plates, and when the chain is engaged with the sprockets,
they slide together with bushings as bearings. They are
subject to wear and especially must have high shear
strength, bending strength and wear resistance. Hardened
and tempered tough steel, carburized steel, or inductionhardened
steel is used.
Rollers
Rollers protect the chain from shocks with the sprockets,
and when the chain is engaged with the sprockets, the
rollers bend the chain smoothly and act to lessen the
resistance when the chain runs on a rail. They are required
to have high shock fatigue strength, collapse strength and
wear resistance. Hardened and tempered tough steel,
carburized steel or induction-hardened steel is used.
Bushings
Bushings are located between pins and rollers and act as
bearings for both the pins and rollers not to transmit the
load received by the rollers directly to the pins when the
chain is engaged with the sprockets. They are required to
have high shock fatigue strength, collapse strength and
wear resistance, and in general, carburized steel is used.
Plates
Plates are subject to repeated tension of the chain and
sometimes to large shocks. They are required to have
high tensile strength, and especially high shock strength
and fatigue strength. High tensile steel is used for
standard chains and heat-treated alloy steel for heavyduty
chains.
T-pins
T-pins prevent the outer plates from disengaging from the
pins. They are made of soft steel since pins are generally
pressed-in the outer plates and thus no large force acts
on the T-pins.
