Bent attachments

Bent attachments create a robust link between the chain and your custom components. These standardized plates (compliant with ISO 606) serve as a reliable interface, giving design engineers the freedom to mount individual parts, sensors, or other functional elements directly onto the roller chain.

Advantages of roller chains with bent attachments

  • Flexible mounting on one or both sides
  • Custom pitch spacing available
  • Compatible with simplex, duplex, and triplex chains
  • Versatile for drive, conveyor, and lifting applications
  • Enables multiple functions when used with other custom chain attachments
  • Robust performance in demanding temperatures and contaminated environments
  • Positive, slip-free power transmission
  • Economical over the entire service life
  • Wide performance spectrum through various chain sizes and multi-strand designs
  • Supports a broad range of transmission ratios
  • Large center-to-center distances are feasible (e.g., in conveying systems)
  • Chain elongation clearly indicates the end of the service life
  • Easy to extend and shorten as needed
  • Bidirectional drive possible (both sides)
  • No pre-tensioning required, resulting in no static load on bearings
  • suitable for fire-safety-relevant applications
  • Available in zinc-plated, nickel-plated and stainless-steel versions

If our standard bent attachments aren’t the right fit, we can manufacture custom designs quickly and precisely to your specifications.
