PLATE LINK CHAIN HAVING A SECURING ELEMENT FORMING A PROTRUDING NOSE AS A CONTACT POINT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PLATE LINK CHAIN

摘要

The invention relates to a plate link chain (1), which is designed to move along a wrap-around direction (2) in a continuously variable transmission having cone pulleys, comprising: a plurality of plates (3), which are arranged along the wrap-around direction (2) and transversely to the wrap-around direction (2); a plurality of rocker pins (4), which connect the plates (3) to one another while extending transversely to the wrap-around direction (2) and which are designed to absorb a force applied by the cone pulleys; and at least one securing element (5), which is welded onto one of the rocker pins (4) in order to form a stop for one of the plates (3) transversely to the wrap-around direction (2), wherein the securing element (5) forms, on the side thereof facing the plate (3), a nose (6) protruding transversely to the wrap-around direction (2), which nose defines a contact point between the securing element (5) and the plate (3). The invention further relates to a method for producing a plate link chain (1) of this type.
