Conveyor chains with rollers are another industrially very important group of special chains. They are used for transport of goods like pallets, cases, packets, etc.
|  | Their field of application is in furniture industry and in conveying systems because when the goods are stopped (for example in interoperation), the rollers are freely turning so that the chain could move without any friction between the goods and the chain.
| Chains with steel or rubber U-type attachments |
|---|
are used in lines for transport of for example wooden plates. Their advantage: the transported object is not damaged and it does not slide (at rubber attachments). The object cannot stop on the conveyor if we want to avoid its damaging.
| Side bow roller chains |
|---|
| are specially designed chains that allow using of the chain in certain defined radius.This is not possible at all the other chains that have to work only in directness. Chains are manufactured with shaped pins whose quality but also the price are higher, or with larger side clearance where the chain durability is lowered. |
