What is Single Loop Chain?
Single loop chain is a light weldless chain, also called lock link chain, Its working tension is similar to that of a double loop chain and is higher than that of a jack chain, and can be used with the S hook and other connecting pieces.
The links of single loop chains are simple and reliable single rings, arranged flat, not easy to tangle, and can fit well with gear structures. It has good strength and flexibility, and is widely used in many industrial and building applications, such as valve chain wheel(sprocket wheel) operation, garage door and overhead door system, pipe hanging and support, and ventilation equipment control. It is one of the practical chains often used by pipe installers, valve manufacturers, and building contractors etc.

In chain wheel drive system, the inside length and wire diameter of the chain are key sizes to make sure single loop chain and chain wheel fit well, they must match the pitch and tooth size of the chain wheel exactly. This not only affects the smooth and reliable drive of the transmission, but also relates to the efficiency and service life of the system. Good match can make the chain go into the groove smooth, avoid slip, jam, noise or too much friction, and also help keep drive accuracy, reduce running mistake, and improve total durability.
Tuohai lock link single loop chain can be used for many valve making, pipe fixing, and various of building install works, such as:
- For sprocket wheels (chain wheels), it can be used as the part of machine or equipment drive or control.
- In overhead door opening and closing systems, to give stable and reliable control.
- In industrial hanging and pipe install, the single loop chains can be used as pipe suspension to fix and support pipe structures.
- For steam valves or other valve wheels, it can also be used as operation chain, especially ideal for light-load rotation or position control.
