What are Hollow Pin Chains?
Hollow pin chains are an excellent choice for those who are looking for a chain that is both strong and lightweight. These chains are made from high-quality materials, and they are designed to last. Hollow pin chains are also an excellent choice for those who are looking for a chain that is easy to maintain.
What Is Hollow Pin Roller Chain?
Hollow pin roller chain is a type of roller chain that uses hollow pins. The hollow pins are held in place by press-fit bushings. The main advantage of hollow pin roller chain is that it is easier to disassemble and reassemble than solid pin roller chain. This makes it a good choice for applications where the chain needs to be frequently removed, such as for maintenance or repairs.
High Performance and Durable Hollow Pin Chains
A special link pin design distinguishes hollow pin roller chains from standard roller chains. Hollow pin chain links have a similar construction to ISO standard roller chains; they consist of pin, bushing and small pulley, so most chains of this type are compatible with the same sprockets as corresponding standard chains. We can supply these chains double-paired, as double-stranded processing is conventional for most applications.
Hollow pin chains operate without bushings in light use, usually on small conveyors using two parallel chains.
Hollow pin chains are used for a wide variety of industrial applications. It is used by connecting a carrier piece between two parallel chains or by passing a steel bar. Since two chains usually run in parallel (double helix), we manufacture in pairs of matching chains. Hollow pin chains have chain pins with through holes for mounting specially designed attachments. The general working principle of chains with hollow pins is based on connecting a rod, shaft or a different carrier piece that is passed through hollow pins. Hollow pin chains are often used as carriers in chip conveyors, bucket elevators and roller belt systems.

Hollow Pin Chains Applications
Hollow pin chains are used in a variety of applications, including agricultural, automotive, and industrial applications. Agricultural applications include balers, combines, and other agricultural machinery. Automotive applications include automotive assembly lines and other automotive machinery. Industrial applications include conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and other industrial machinery.
What Are Hollow Pin Chains Used For?
- Designed with pins extending from the pitch axis for short-pitch or long-pitch chains, these chains are manufactured from the best materials with excellent machining techniques according to customer requirements for the bearing of special attachments, pushing or pulling operations. Hollow pin chains are produced in desired lengths and dimensions and can be easily mounted and dismounted thanks to their protrusions. They are easier to transport and install than other chains. Hollow pin chains are specially produced and made of stainless steel and offer economical options with stylish designs.
- Pins are mounted on the chain at desired intervals according to conveyor requirements. This ensures that the chain operates efficiently and for a long time at high levels. These chains are produced in carbon steel, zinc-chrome plated and stainless steel.
- One of the main advantages of hollow pin chains, also called chains with extended pins, is that they can handle larger loads and transmit power over longer distances. The protruding pin of these chains leaves more space between the rollers, allowing the chain to absorb more shock and vibration, reducing wear and increasing its overall lifespan. The larger rollers also provide more surface area for the chain to rest on, helping to distribute the load more evenly and reduce the risk of breakage.
- Hollow pin chains are used to transport functional components. There are two different versions of the chain: single-sided and double-sided extended double-way and triple pins with groove inserts for locking springs, Seeger rings or E-rings, and holes for splints or wire nails are provided as security elements. Depending on the application, they can be provided with different pin diameters and special forms (grooves, etc.) that allow the handling of various functional components.
- The high precision of roller chains made with protruding pins also means they can operate in extreme environments, including high temperatures and low temperatures. These conditions can cause other types of chains to become brittle or weak, but roller chains made with lug pins can withstand these environments without problems.

A 40 pitch hollow pin chain is a type of chain typically used in industrial applications. It is made up of a series of hollow pins that are connected together by links. The hollow pins allow the chain to flex and bend, making it ideal for use in conveyor systems and other applications where a flexible chain is required.
A hollow pin chain is a type of chain that is held together by hollow pins. Unlike solid pins, which are held in place by a set screw, hollow pins are held in place by a circlip. To remove a hollow pin, you will need to use a chain tool to push the pin out from the inside of the link.
A hollow pin chain is a chain that uses hollow pins. The advantage of using hollow pins is that they are lighter than solid pins, and thus can make the chain lighter overall. Additionally, hollow pins can sometimes be more accessible to remove and replace than solid pins.
Hollow pin chains are used in many different applications, including conveyors, packaging machinery, and material handling systems. They are also used in agricultural and forestry equipment, as well as in some types of construction equipment.
