1.1.2 Basic Structure of Small Pitch Conveyor Chain

The basic structure is the same as that of power transmission chain. Figure 1.4 shows a single pitch conveyor chain. The double pitch type in Figure 1.5 has an outer plate and an inner plate of the same height, but often has a roller with a larger diameter. Usually, an attachment is used with this chain.
