Abstract
In a seal chain having ring-shaped seals sealed between outer plates and inner plates, by reducing the thickness of the outer plates and the inner plates, a distance between inner side surfaces of the both inner plates and a distance between outer side surfaces of the both outer plates are set to be same as those of a standard chain, and the length of pins is set to be same as that of the standard chain, so that a narrow seal chain in which a standard guide can be used, and a standard attachment can be attached is achieved.
Claims3
A narrow seal chain comprising:
- outer links having a pair of outer plates and two pins coupling the outer plates;
- inner links having two bushes configured to couple a pair of inner plates and rollers fitted on an outer peripheries of the bushes;
- a ring seal sealed between the outer plate and the inner plate, the outer links and the inner links being coupled alternately and bendably,
- wherein the distance between inner side surfaces of the both inner plates and the distance between outer side surfaces of the both outer plates are set to be same as those of a standard chain, and the length of the pin is set to be same as that of the standard chain or the difference in length of the pin is set to be within 10% of that of the standard chain by reducing the thickness of the outer plates and the inner plates.
