Flat chain is a form of chain used chiefly in agricultural machinery. Early machinery made extensive use of flat chain. It has been gradually replaced in most applications by roller chain , which is quieter, lasts longer, and requires less frequent retensioning. Modern flat chain is made from stamped steel. Individual links can be put together or taken apart using simple tools, unlike roller chain which requires a master link or special splicing equipment. Today, flat chain is used most often for conveyor belt s, because it lends itself well to the attachment of slats, flights, buckets, and prongs used to move material. Such attachments can be welded on in the field, or can be purchased ready made on a single link or pair of links where the conveyor uses two chains and then spliced into a loop of chain. Older forms of flat chain were made of iron. Though the sprocket s are compatible with modern chain, the two types cannot be spliced together.

refimprove date January 2009 A block chain , also called a bar link or block and bar chain, is a mechanical drive chain . It is composed of side plates, where each plate straddles one end of a block and is connected to the block with a pin going through a hole at one end of the block. Block chain is simple, but compared to modern roller chain is heavy and is less efficient rolling over sprockets due to the lack of rolling motion as the chain engages and disengages the sprockets. However, it has advantages in specific applications and while not dimensionally standard like roller chain, it is commonly used for specific applications, especially where no sprockets are needed, loads are very high and strength is greater concern than efficiency, and where the chain has special fixtures for holding or engaging a load ref cite book title Chains for Power Transmission and Material Handling publisher Marcel Dekker, Inc. date 1982 ref References reflist Category Chain drives Category Chains de Blockkette ... more details
