2.1.3 Plastic Roller Plus Plastic Sleeve Chain Transmission, conveyance: Maintenance-free type, general uses Application Example Plastic Sleeve Chain is used for general purpose with small loads, and under conditions that require maintenance-free or low-noise applications. Construction and Features In Plastic Sleeve Chains, the pins and bushings are separated by a sleeve made of self-lubricating engineered plastic. This feature makes the chains maintenance free (Figures 2.5 and 2.6).
