What Is A Bush Chain?
A bush chain is a type of power transmission chain that uses bushes instead of rollers. Bushes are cylindrical sleeves that fit between the inner and outer links of the chain and provide a bearing surface for the pins. Bush chains are typically less expensive than roller chains, but they are also less efficient and have a shorter lifespan.
Bush chains are typically used in low-speed applications where high efficiency and long lifespan are not required. Some common applications for bush chains include:
- Conveyor chains
- Drive chains for agricultural and construction equipment
- Timing chains for engines and other machinery
Bush chains are also commonly used in bicycles, where they are known as “cogs” or “sprockets.“
There are two main types of bush chains: solid bush chains and split bush chains. Solid bush chains are more expensive than split bush chains, but they are also more durable and have a longer lifespan. Split bush chains are easier to assemble and disassemble, but they are also more likely to fail.

How To Measure Bush Chain?
To measure a bush chain, you will need a tape measure and a chain pitch gauge.
- Identify the chain pitch. The chain pitch is the distance between the centers of two consecutive rivets. You can use a chain pitch gauge to measure the pitch.
- Measure the length of the chain. Lay the chain out on a flat surface and measure its length from end to end. Be sure to include the master link in the measurement.
- Calculate the number of links in the chain. To do this, divide the chain length by the chain pitch.
- Round up to the nearest even number. This will give you the number of links that you need to order to replace the chain.
Here is an example of how to measure a bush chain:
- The chain pitch is 3/8 inches.
- The chain length is 36 inches.
- 36 inches / 3/8 inches = 96 links
- Round up to the nearest even number: 96 links
Application of Bush Chain
Industrial Machinery
Bush chains are widely used in industrial machinery, such as conveyor systems, material handling equipment, packaging machines, and industrial automation systems
Agriculture
Bush chains are utilized in agricultural machinery, including tractors, combines, harvesters, and irrigation equipment.
Material Handling
Bush chains are employed in material handling equipment, including forklifts, palletizers, and stackers
Automotive Industry
Bush chains are used in automobiles for power transmission in engine timing systems, camshaft drives, and timing belt replacement applications.
Construction Equipment
Bush chains are found in construction machinery, such as excavators, loaders, cranes, and bulldozers
Mining and Quarrying
Bush chains are used in mining and quarrying equipment, such as crushers, screens, and conveyor systems
Bush Chain Advantage
Lower cost
Bush chains are typically less expensive than roller chains. This is because they are simpler to manufacture.
Quieter operation
Bush chains are quieter than roller chains because they do not have rollers.
Corrosion resistance
Bush chains are more resistant to corrosion than roller chains because they have a closed design.
Unlock Efficiency and Precision with the Bush Chain
- Efficiency: Bush chains are very efficient at transmitting power. This is because they have a low coefficient of friction and they are designed to operate with minimal backlash.
- Precision: Bush chains are very precise in their positioning. This is because they have a tight pitch tolerance and they are made from high-quality materials.
- Durability: Bush chains are very durable and can withstand high loads and harsh operating conditions. This is because they are made from strong materials and they are designed to last.
How To Maintain Bush Chain？
Clean the chain regularly. This will remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can cause wear and tear. You can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the chain, or you can use a commercial chain cleaner.
Lubricate the chain regularly. This will reduce friction and wear. You can use a commercial chain lubricant, or you can make your own by mixing equal parts oil and grease.
Inspect the chain for wear and tear. Look for signs of damage, such as missing or bent links, cracked or worn bushings, and excessive wear on the chain pins. If you find any damage, replace the chain immediately.
Adjust the chain tension regularly. The chain should be snug, but not too tight. If the chain is too tight, it will put extra stress on the chain and the components it drives. If the chain is too loose, it will slip and cause wear and tear.
Store the chain properly. If you are not going to be using the chain for a period of time, store it in a cool, dry place. You can also coat the chain with a light layer of oil to prevent rust and corrosion.
