简体中文 I. Principle of growth rate: kinetic equilibrium of a 10-metre line body
The unique value of the 10 metre multiplier chain isPrecise balance of 2.5x speed and structural rigidity. When the chain runs at speed v, the compound motion of the small roller (diameter d) and the large roller (diameter D) creates a lever effect:
V = (1 + D/d) × v
In 25.4mm pitch chains.Roller diameter 12.7mmtogether withRoller diameter 19.05mmof the ration (D/d ≈ 1.5), with a theoretical growth rate ratio of up to 2.5 times. However, the 10-metre line length poses an additional challenge - theSagging effect caused by chain self-weightMake the actual growth rate down to 2.3-2.4 times. A home appliance assembly line measured: 5-metre section of the growth rate ratio of 2.48 times, extended to 10 metres when the drop to 2.35 times.
Exclusive views: 10 metres is the "critical length" of a multiplier chain - too short and the space is underutilised, too long and the growth rate decays significantly.Optimised tensioning force (±2mm compensation) and segmental support (additional auxiliary guide rail every 1.5m) can stabilise the fluctuation of growth rate ≤5%..
II. Structural innovation: a triple breakthrough for medium-sized linear bodies
1. Lightweight load-bearing systems

- Stainless steel core embedded in engineering plastic rollers (800MPa pressure resistance)
- Single point load bearing1.2kN/mNoise ≤68dB (up to 82dB for heavy-duty steel chains)
2. Environmental adaptation upgrades
