How Does Rubber Block Chain Work?

2025-08-29

In the world of industrial conveying, efficiency and durability are paramount. The Rubber Block Chain is a revolutionary component designed to meet these demanding requirements. At its core, this product is a robust chain system constructed from high-strength steel components with vulcanized rubber blocks attached. These rubber blocks are the key to its functionality, providing a high-friction, non-marking surface that securely grips products and materials during transportation. The unique design allows it to operate smoothly on standard sprockets, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of conveying and elevating applications.



Key Product Parameters and Specifications

To understand the superior performance of our Rubber Block Chain, it is essential to examine its technical specifications. Our factory utilizes premium materials and stringent manufacturing processes to ensure every chain meets the highest standards.


Material Composition:

1. Chain Side Plates & Pins: High-grade alloy steel, heat-treated for maximum tensile strength and wear resistance.

2. Rubber Blocks: Synthetic rubber compound, engineered for excellent abrasion resistance, high friction coefficient, and anti-static properties.

3. Bushings: Sintered steel for enhanced load distribution and extended service life.


Performance Specifications:

1. High Tensile Strength: Available in various grades to handle heavy loads, from standard duty to ultra-heavy-duty applications.

2. Temperature Resistance: The rubber blocks are formulated to perform in a range of temperatures, typically from -15°C to +80°C.

3. Excellent Flexibility: Designed for smooth operation on both horizontal and vertical conveying paths with small-diameter sprockets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does the Rubber Block Chain prevent slippage on inclined conveyors?
A: The fundamental working principle that makes the Rubber Block Chain so effective on inclines is its high-friction surface. The vulcanized rubber blocks create a strong grip on the items being transported, whether they are boxes, bottles, or bags. This positive grip prevents products from sliding backwards, even on steep inclines, ensuring a consistent and reliable flow of materials without the need for complex cleats or other anti-rollback devices.

Q: How does the Rubber Block Chain contribute to noise reduction and maintenance?
A: The rubber blocks act as a natural dampener, absorbing vibrations and impacts between the chain and the sprockets or product. This significantly reduces operational noise compared to traditional metal chains. Furthermore, the rubber surface is non-marking, protecting both the conveyed products and the conveyor bed from damage. This leads to less wear on the entire system, reducing downtime and overall maintenance costs for your operation.
