  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. Conveyor chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_Chain

    Hollow bearing pin chain allows attachments to be bolted through the hollow bearing pins. Attachments may be tightly fixed or held in a 'free' manner. 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

  4. 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.

  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. Chain (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The UK statute chain is 22 yards, which is 66 feet (20.1168 m). This unit is a statute measure in the United Kingdom, defined in the Weights and Measures Act 1985. [6] One link is a hundredth part of a chain, which is 7.92 inches (20.1168 cm).

  7. 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.

  8. 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 ...
