Description
Self-tooth-forming Chains (P.I.V. Chains) A0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
The term “Self-tooth-forming chains” describes a type of chain that forms teeth without the aid of a syringe. They are used to prevent tooth decay. These chains are made of a combination of hardened steel slats that conform to the teeth of paired sprockets. These sprockets are made up of two pairs of cone-shaped radial-grooved wheels.

Benefits of Positively Infinite Variable Chains
Positively Infinite Variable Chains are an ideal choice for gear boxes, drives and other industrial machinery. Made from superior quality alloy metal, they are known for their sturdiness and long-lasting performance. Available in different sizes, designs and models, they offer smooth and consistent performance in different applications. To ensure superior performance, these chains are rigorously tested and certified to meet industry standards. If you have a demanding application, we recommend you choose the right product to meet your requirements.
Paver chains are specifically made for paving assembly. The steel used to manufacture these chains is of high grade and is treated for corrosion resistance. The resulting product is renowned for its flawless finish, high strength and long-lasting properties. These chains can be bought in different custom lengths and designs to suit various requirements and budgets. They are available at affordable prices.
Positively infinitely variable chains are a popular type of roller chain. They are used in transmission gearboxes and many industrial settings. The chain is flexible, as it is composed of batches of thin plates that can move independently. Because of their flexibility, PIV chains mesh with grooves of various effective pitch diameters, enabling them to achieve optimal performance in varied speeds and torque. PIV chains come in a wide range of sizes and designs, and are suitable for a range of applications.
Sprockets and Chains
- Chains and sprockets are mainly used in all applications such as transportation, machinery and other motor applications.
- Chain and sprockets are maintained with grease and oil spray to provide smoother and better operation.
- It makes the wheels run as the motor rotates and is considered as Rotation Per Minute (RPM).
Chains and sprockets are mainly used in the transport industry and machine building industry to rotate wheels by means of motors or engines. These chains and sprockets both help the wheelbase to run fast according to the engine speed. The chain hangs between the motor and the sprocket, the motor turns the sprocket and the chain is connected to the sprocket teeth, which can turn simultaneously with the motor wheel, thus making the vehicle or machine run smoothly. HZPT is one of the leading transmission chain manufacturers and suppliers in China. We can offer various high-quality chains and sprockets for sale.
