  2. Bicycle chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_chain

    Bicycle chains Roller chain and sprocket. A bicycle chain is a roller chain that transfers power from the pedals to the drive-wheel of a bicycle, thus propelling it.Most bicycle chains are made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but some are nickel-plated to prevent rust, or simply for aesthetics.

  3. Gunter's chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunter's_chain

    A quarter chain, or 25 links, measures 16 feet 6 inches (5.03 m) and thus measures a rod (or pole). Ten chains measure a furlong and 80 chains measure a statute mile. [1] Gunter's chain reconciled two seemingly incompatible systems: the traditional English land measurements, based on the number four, and decimals based on the number 10.

  4. Chain (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_(unit)

    The chain (abbreviated ch) is a unit of length equal to 66 feet (22 yards), used in both the US customary and Imperial unit systems. It is subdivided into 100 links. [1] [2] There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. [2] In metric terms, it is 20.1168 m long. [2]

  5. Chain drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_drive

    Chain drive was the main feature which differentiated the safety bicycle introduced in 1885, with its two equal-sized wheels, from the direct-drive penny-farthing or "high wheeler" type of bicycle. The popularity of the chain-driven safety bicycle brought about the demise of the penny-farthing, and is still a basic feature of bicycle design today.

  6. Conveyor chain - Wikipedia

    2. Solid bearing pin chain. Solid bearing pin chain has the same dimensions as hollow bearing pin chain but is more robust and thus suitable for more arduous conveyor applications. 3. Deep link chain. Deep link chain has deeper side plates than the normal chain plates and so provides a continuous carrying edge above the roller periphery.

  7. O-ring chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring_chain

    O-ring chains are most notably used in motorcycles, one of the most demanding applications for a metal chain. High rpm and heavy loads require bulky chains, but such engineering increases the effect of friction compared to lighter chains. So lubrication plays a vital role here, but the high rpm also makes it very difficult to keep lubrication ...

  8. Kinematic chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_chain

    A kinematic diagram is a schematic of the mechanical system that shows the kinematic chain. The modern use of kinematic chains includes compliance that arises from flexure joints in precision mechanisms, link compliance in compliant mechanisms and micro-electro-mechanical systems , and cable compliance in cable robotic and tensegrity systems.

    The official trailer for Black Antenna was released on Alice In Chains' YouTube Channel on February 28, 2019. [260] Besides a 90-minute film, a 10-part web-series focused on each track from the album was planned. Episodes 1 and 2, "The One You Know" and "Rainier Fog", respectively, were released on March 7, 2019. [261]
