A DK conveyor chain has a structure, as well as names in the components are stated during the drawing. These components have functions specified beneath.
Pins
Pins support all the load acting over the chain along with plates, and when the chain is engaged with all the sprockets, they slide along with bushings as bearings. They are topic to wear and particularly will have to have higher shear strength, bending strength and dress in resistance. Hardened and tempered difficult steel, carburized steel, or induction-hardened steel is utilized.
Rollers
Rollers guard the chain from shocks with the sprockets, and once the chain is engaged with all the sprockets, the rollers bend the chain smoothly and act to reduce the resistance once the chain runs on the rail. They’re essential to possess substantial shock fatigue strength, collapse power and put on resistance. Hardened and tempered challenging steel, carburized steel or 
induction-hardened steel is used.
Bushings
Bushings are positioned concerning pins and rollers and act as bearings for the two the pins and rollers to not transmit the load received from the rollers straight towards the pins when the chain is engaged with the sprockets. They are required to get substantial shock fatigue power, collapse strength and put on resistance, and generally, carburized steel is utilized.
Plates
Plates are topic to repeated tension of your chain and often to big shocks. They’re essential to have higher tensile power, and particularly high shock strength and fatigue strength. Substantial tensile steel is employed for conventional chains and heat-treated alloy steel for heavy-duty chains.
T-pins
T-pins reduce the outer plates from disengaging in the pins. They are made from soft steel since pins are usually pressed-in the outer plates and as a result no big force acts within the T-pins.
