Attachments for Roller Chain come in various forms to suit diverse needs and applications. The most common types include: * **Guide Rails**: These are used to keep the chain in position, ensuring smooth movement and preventing damage from misalignment. * **Idler Sprockets**: Used to change the direction of the chain or to support long chains that cannot be supported by a single sprocket. * **Tensioning Devices**: These maintain optimal tension on the chain, preventing over-tightening which can cause wear and under-tightening which can lead to slippage. * **Lubrication Systems**: Designed to keep the chain well-lubricated, reducing friction and extending its lifespan.
