Drive Chains

SKF Drive Chains

TC Service has a wide range of products and services for the design of power transmission systems. Drive chains are mechanical components used to transfer power and motion between two or more shafts in a mechanical system. They consist of flexible meshes made up of rollers, which reduce friction with the gear teeth, pins and bushings, which provide connection and mechanical strength, and side plates, which provide rigidity and strength.

SKF drive chains are a reliable and innovative solution for the design of power transmission systems, designed to improve operating efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and optimise production processes. The use of high-quality materials and advanced technology ensures greater reliability and durability, contributing to a significant reduction in total manufacturing costs.

SKF drive chains types and applications

SKF produces a wide range of drive chains, each designed to meet specific application needs. The main types of SKF drive chains and their applications include:

Roller chains ISO/ASA series

Suitable for general applications, also available with customised couplings.

Heavy Duty ASA series reinforced roller chains

Ideal for applications requiring high strength and durability.

SKF Extra Corrosion Resistant Chains

Designed for particularly aggressive environments.

Stainless steel roller chains

Perfect for high-corrosion environments and the food industry, when a completely stainless material is required.

Chains with surface treatments

Available in galvanised, nickel-plated or Dacromet-treated versions for increased corrosion resistance.

Side bow roller chains

Specific solution for applications requiring bends in the transmission.

Self-lubricating roller chains

Ideal for reducing maintenance requirements due to self-lubrication.

Double pitch chains

Cost-effective solution for covering long distances at low speeds; also available with customised couplings.

Double pitch transport and timber conveyor chains

Designed for applications in the transport of heavy materials such as timber.

Silent chains

Designed for compact and quiet transmissions, they guarantee 99% efficiency and are ideal for applications under high mechanical stress.

Tooth chains

Specialised solutions for transmissions with special technical requirements.

Chains for the oil industry

Designed to meet the specific requirements of this sector, with resistance to extreme conditions.

Straight side plate chains

Used in applications requiring stability and compactness.

In order to offer a customised service, we provide the possibility of breaking the chains directly at our cutting centre. This solution enables to optimise the system performance and to deliver tailor-made products, perfectly adapted to the most specific and complex requirements.
