Silent Chain Sprockets

Introduction of Silent Sprocket

Silent Chain Sprockets

First introduce the silent chain， A silent chain in which a plurality of links each having a pair of tooth parts that mesh with sprockets and a pair of pinholes are arranged in the lengthwise direction and thickness direction and are linked so as to be able to pivot about one another by linking pins which are inserted into the pinholes, and sliding plates are provided.

The sliding plates have a pair of pinholes into which the linking pins are inserted, and also have a back surface part that has a greater back surface height than the back surface height of the links and comes into contact with a tensioner arm or chain guide. The sliding plates do not have tooth parts that mesh with the sprockets

Silent chain sprockets and their associated chains are designed to transmit high power at high speeds. They are much quieter than a typical sprocket system due to their rolling and little sliding mechanism of action. Paired with a chain, they are used in conveying transmitting power between rotating shafts that are at center distances too long for one set of gears.

Advantages of silent sprockets

In power transmission applications, silent chain transmission can transmit power in a way of low noise, high efficiency, and reduced vibration. Speed and load usually exceed the capacity of other belts and chains. Almost all Ramsey power transmission chains adopt efficient and quiet double pin roller bearing joints; This technology has been proved to be superior to the traditional round pin joint. These chains can be found in a variety of demanding industrial and automotive applications.

In conveying applications, the silent conveying chain provides a heat-resistant, flat, durable, and anti-skid conveying surface, which can be customized to adapt to a wide range of industrial applications. The design of the chain can make the sprocket mesh smoothly and minimize the change of conveying surface speed. There are many choices for traditional conveyor chains and unique wear-resistant chains.

What is the application of the silent chain & sprocket?

Since the 1930s, silent chains have been frequently used in a variety of industrial applications including paper and textile mills, flour and feed mills, printing presses, industrial fans and blowers, pumps, and drives in machine tools. It was also often used as a timing chain for early car engines.

Throughout the 20th century, improvements in material quality, machining techniques, and chain design increased the load and speed capabilities of silent chains. The variety of silent chain designs available has also increased. These factors have led to silent chains being used in a range of demanding industrial and automotive applications, especially those requiring compact, high-speed, and quiet drives. From racing engines to 4WD vehicles to industrial blowers and rock breakers, silent chains provide power that other chains and belts can't. In addition to power transmission applications, silent chains are also commonly used in industrial conveying as a conveying surface. As a conveyor, Silent Chains are durable, flat, heat-resistant, smooth-moving, and readily available in a variety of pitches, widths, and assembly styles. These features appeal to conveyor designers and operators for applications ranging from glass bottle transportation to general parts handling.
