A DK conveyor chain features a framework, plus the names on the parts 
are stated during the drawing. These elements have functions specified beneath.
Pins
Pins assistance all the load acting about the chain together with plates, and when the chain is engaged with all the sprockets, they slide together with bushings as bearings. They can be subject to put on and particularly ought to have large shear power, bending power and dress in resistance. Hardened and tempered tough steel, carburized steel, or induction-hardened steel is utilised.
Rollers
Rollers protect the chain from shocks with the sprockets, and when the chain is engaged using the sprockets, the rollers bend the chain smoothly and act to lessen the resistance once the chain runs on a rail. They’re necessary to possess higher shock fatigue strength, collapse strength and dress in resistance. Hardened and tempered tough steel, carburized steel or induction-hardened steel is employed.
Bushings
Bushings are situated between pins and rollers and act as bearings for the two the pins and rollers to not transmit the load acquired through the rollers right on the pins once the chain is engaged with all the sprockets. They’re essential to possess substantial shock fatigue power, collapse power and dress in resistance, and generally, carburized steel is utilised.
Plates
Plates are subject to repeated tension with the chain and from time to time to big shocks. These are demanded to have higher tensile power, and particularly large shock strength and fatigue power. Higher tensile steel is employed for conventional chains and heat-treated alloy steel for heavy-duty chains.
T-pins
T-pins avert the outer plates from disengaging through the pins. They can be manufactured from soft steel because pins are commonly pressed-in the outer plates and so no substantial force acts around the T-pins.
