Working Mechanism

  • The chain is looped around sprockets or gears.
  • As the sprockets rotate, they engage with the chain.
  • The rollers on the chain interact with the sprocket teeth.
  • This engagement causes the chain to move along the sprockets.
  • The connected load or material is conveyed or moved with the chain.
