A DK conveyor chain features a construction, as well as names from the elements are stated inside the drawing. These elements have functions specified below.
Pins
Pins help each of the load acting about the chain together with plates, and once the chain is engaged with all the sprockets, they slide along with bushings as bearings. They can be subject to put on and especially need to have higher shear power, bending strength and wear resistance. Hardened and tempered hard steel, carburized steel, or induction-hardened steel is made use of.
Rollers
Rollers secure the chain from shocks using the sprockets, and when the chain is engaged using the sprockets, the rollers bend the chain smoothly and act to lessen the resistance once the chain runs on a rail. They are really essential to have higher shock fatigue power, collapse strength and wear resistance. Hardened and tempered hard steel, carburized steel or induction-hardened steel is employed.
Bushings
Bushings are located among pins and rollers and act as bearings for the two the pins and rollers to not transmit the load obtained from the rollers right towards the pins once the chain is engaged using the sprockets. These are needed to get high shock fatigue strength, collapse strength and put on resistance, and generally, carburized steel is applied.
Plates
Plates are subject to repeated stress with the chain and from time to time to significant shocks. They’re essential to possess large tensile power, and especially high shock power and fatigue power. Higher tensile steel is utilised for conventional chains and heat-treated alloy steel for heavy-duty chains.
T-pins
T-pins 
prevent the outer plates from disengaging through the pins. They can be made from soft steel given that pins are typically pressed-in the outer plates and hence no big force acts around the T-pins.
