“Tension linkage” chains (also called leaf chains, or fleyer chains) are a means of transmitting reciprocating motion, or lift, rather than a continuous rotative power (like in a power transmission chain). The predominating feature is that the chain is usually not endless. The chain is built of interlaced plates held together by riveted pins.If compared to wire cables, tension linkage chains have the following advantages:1. Chains can flex over a smaller radius than cables2. Chains lubrication is easier and more effective than cable lubrication.3. Chains are easier to install and remove. Chain connectors, since they do not depend on friction clamps, do not require frequent inspection and tightening.Regina fleyer chains are designed and built to perform effectively even in the most severe operationg conditions, in presence of shock loads, dynamic stresses caused for example by the use of fork lift trucks on bumpy areas, and when a high fatigue resistance is an essential characteristic.
