SC silent chains (SCA, SCR, SC)
SC silent chains use specially-coated round pins and special plates to achieve an ideal engagement mechanism, and might keep a noise degree remarkably reduce than standard roller chains.
SC type silent chains could be utilized for high pace and massive tension transmission just like a toothed metallic belt because the plates immediately engage with the sprockets for driving.
SCR-04 silent chains are made with inner engaging framework for further diminished noise level.
PS silent chain
A PS style silent chain includes a construction in which a set of specially formed connecting pins and locker pins contact each other although rotating at every versatile bearing position. Consequently, it generates significantly less heat in particular in substantial speed operation and is great in sturdiness. On top of that, the specially formed pins greatly reduce shock once the chain is engaged with sprockets, giving a higher silencing impact than SC silent chains.
Sprockets
Sprockets for silent chains adopt distinctive modules in involute tooth varieties to the SCA 04××, SC 25××, SC 06×× around the earlier web page and PS silent chains to make certain silent large speed operation. For all sizes, the sprocket tooth heads are usually hardened by induction hardening or carburizing.
