Wiegegelenk für eine Laschenkette

摘要

A rocker joint for a plate link chain. The rocker joint is defined by pairs of contacting rocker pressure pieces that pass through openings formed in chain link plates. Each of the rocker pressure pieces has a rocker pressure piece height, and each includes a rocker pressure piece rocking radius that is in contact with the rocking radius of an adjacent rocker pressure piece. The ratio between the rocking radius and the rocker pressure piece height of the rocker pressure pieces is selected to be small so that a contact point of the contacting rocker pressure pieces moves less far than conventional rocker pressure piece movements during travel of the plate link chain around and between pairs of spaced conical disks.
