Automotive-Grade Forged Conveyor Chains with Rollers - Precision
Forging Services
Product Description
Our automotive-grade forged conveyor chains with rollers are
engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern vehicle
manufacturing. Utilizing advanced precision forging technology, we
produce chains with superior strength, wear resistance, and
dimensional accuracy for reliable performance in high-speed
automotive assembly and material handling systems.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ Automotive-Optimized Design
Precision-forged links and rollers for smooth, vibration-free
operation
High-strength alloy steel (Grade 80/100) withstands continuous
heavy loads
Low-maintenance bushings reduce downtime in production environments
✔ Precision Forging Advantages
Denser grain structure vs. cast chains → 40% longer service life
Tighter tolerances (±0.03mm) for perfect sprocket engagement
Consistent quality across high-volume production runs
✔ Custom Configurations
Multiple roller types (standard, flanged, crowned)
Custom pitches (25-200mm) and widths
Special attachments for part carriers/tooling plates
✔ Automotive-Specific Enhancements
Cleanroom-compatible versions (for EV battery/Paint Shop lines)
ESD-safe materials for sensitive electronics handling
Corrosion-resistant coatings for underbody applications
