CONVEYOR CHAINS WITH STRAIGHT PLATES Roller chains with straight link plates are used in pallet transport, small diameter rollers carry large loads during transport. This type of chain is normally used in applications where a high percentage of the load must be transferred in a short distance and where the size of the load is relatively small. The chain passes over rollers mounted on a spindle which rotate freely about their perpendicular axes. The plates move freely along their length and are held against tension by special springs.

The roller chain with straight plates is a type of conveyor chain that uses flat plates to transfer the load. The advantage of this type of chain is that it can be adjusted quickly and easily to suit different types of loads without changes to the spindles or springs required. It also retains its efficiency over long periods without wearing out or becoming damaged by dirt or other debris on the ground below it. Roller chains with straight plates are used in pallet transport, small diameter rollers carry large loads during transport. Roller chains with straight plates have a high load-carrying capacity and can carry loads of up to 90% of their own weight. They are also highly resistant to impact and abrasive forces, making them suitable for use in environments where the chain may be exposed to heavy impacts or abrasion.
