A DK conveyor chain includes a construction, along with the names in the parts are stated from the drawing. These components have functions specified under.
Pins
Pins support all the load acting on the chain together with plates, and once the chain is engaged with all the sprockets, they slide together with bushings as bearings. They are subject to dress in and especially will have to have higher shear power, bending strength and put on resistance. Hardened and tempered hard steel, carburized steel, or induction-hardened steel is employed.
Rollers
Rollers secure the chain from shocks together with the sprockets, and once the chain is engaged together with the sprockets, the rollers bend the chain smoothly and 
act to reduce the resistance once the chain runs on the rail. They can be needed to get higher shock fatigue power, collapse power and dress in resistance. Hardened and tempered hard steel, carburized steel or induction-hardened steel is utilized.
Bushings
Bushings are found among pins and rollers and act as bearings for both the pins and rollers to not transmit the load acquired by the rollers right on the pins when the chain is engaged using the sprockets. They are really demanded to get higher shock fatigue power, collapse strength and put on resistance, and usually, carburized steel is utilised.
Plates
Plates are topic to repeated stress with the chain and occasionally to significant shocks. They are really expected to have high tensile power, and particularly higher shock power and fatigue strength. Large tensile steel is applied for standard chains and heat-treated alloy steel for heavy-duty chains.
T-pins
T-pins avoid the outer plates from disengaging in the pins. They can be manufactured from soft steel due to the fact pins are usually pressed-in the outer plates and as a result no significant force acts within the T-pins.
