JOHN KING British standard is a series of roller conveyor chains that conform to imperial dimensions. They are predominant in the British market or those markets where a strong British presence has influenced engineering design and purchasing. The more common types are generally of riveted construction. The standard material selection calls for low alloy steel with case carborising. JOHN KING have enhanced this series by introducing heat treatment to side plates. This has made their standard product “double strength” as compared to their competition.

* Breaking Load with HT Link Plates
JOHN KING British standard hollow pin series affords a ready facility for fixing attachments to the outer plates through the hollow bearing pin.
The attachment can be bolted up tight against the hollow pin rivet or left in a free manner. A very typical example is where the chain is operated double strand with or without a mesh overlay. It must be noted that chain of this construction loses on average 20% of its ultimate strength.

* Breaking Load with HT Link Plates
Although non standard attachments can be offered a standard range is available where attachments are fitted to the base chain to adapt it to a particular purpose as a conveying medium. The British standard has a limited range of attachment varieties which are either an integral element of the chain sidebar or a fabricated equivalent welded to the side plate. On high duty application the fabricated attachment can also be riveted to the sidebar for increased rigidity.
