Flat chain link for link chain and a link chain with those flat links

摘要

A flat chain link 2 for a link chain, in particular designed as a conveyor chain, in its legs 4, 4.1 connecting the two curves 8, 9 in a vertical orientation of the chain link 2 has a leg height H in the vertical direction which is smaller than the maximum leg width BS. The maximum leg width Bs in the vertical direction is arranged offset eccentrically and towards the leg outside 11. The maximum leg width BS is greater than the width thereof defining the nominal diameter N of the chain link 2 in the region of its curves 8, 9. The region of the curves 8, 9 defining the nominal diameter N of the chain link 2 is limited to a curve segment comprising a few angle degrees of maximum approximately 10 degrees to both sides of the centre plane 10 intersecting the curves 8,9 in cross section. Starting from the leg width BS, the width of the chain link 2 in its curves 8,9 diminishes constantly to the curve segment defining the nominal diameter N.
