I. Differential speed increase: a code for efficiency in mechanical design
At the heart of the ring multiplier chain liesDifferential design of roller and roller diameters(Usually D/d=2.5~3), through the principle of motion superposition to achieve the unique effect of "low-speed chain, high-speed conveying":

- Velocity stacking formula: Tooling plate speed Vgather
= Vcable length (= 1
× (1 + D/d), when the roller diameter is twice the roller, the conveying speed can be up to 3 times the chain speed. - Double reduction in consumptionChains run at low speeds to reduce 30% wear, engineered plastic rollers reduce noise to below 65dB and extend life to 50,000 hours.
- precision accumulation and releaseThe workpiece plate can achieve ±0.15mm precision positioning by pneumatic stopper, and support any workstation pause and release.
Chengdu Fujitsu production line test shows: the use of 3 times the speed of the chain, laptop computer assembly beat from 120 seconds compressed to 75 seconds, the efficiency of 37.5%. this mechanical ingenuity, is precisely theChengdu manufacturing industry to crack the "efficiency-energy consumption-precision" triangle of the key fulcrum of the problem.

II. Ring closure: the industrial magic of spatial reconfiguration
The ring design creates new value through space folding compared to conventional linear doubling chains:
- three-dimensional road line: Upper carrier plate conveys workpieces, lower empty plate returns automatically, eliminating ineffective handling of the 30%.
- Corner Revolution: Pneumatic lifting device integrated at 90° turn, the time taken to turn over the carrier plate is <2 seconds, avoiding the risk of manual intervention.
- Modular extensionsSupporting horizontal/15°climbing/double-decker layout, achieving 40% capacity increase per unit area in Longquanyi Automobile Industrial Park.
case-based evidenceAn aerospace parts factory in Chengdu transformed its 80m straight line into a 45m circular layout, increasing plant utilisation from 65% to 89%, and increasing daily production capacity by 18%. this design is a perfect match forHigh Density Production Requirements in Chengdu Industrial Park-- Against the backdrop of a 12% average annual rise in land costs, space is profit.

IV. Smart Evolution: A Triple Leap Driven by the Internet of Things
The Chengdu Industrial Plan 2025 shows that the multiplier chain system is undergoing essential changes:
- Perceptual Layer ImplantationEmbedded RFID chips in workpiece boards, real-time uploading of position data to the MES system, and compression of changeover time to 1/6 of the original process.

- human-machine collaboration: Force Sensing Stopper Response Threshold 5N, Crash Rate Reduction 90%
Data from 12 demonstration factories in Chengdu Economic Development Zone confirm.Intelligent multiplier chain system shifts break-even point down for small orders 37%, providing the underlying support for multi-variety flexible production.
Exclusive insight: the underestimated "ability to monetise space"
Chengdu's practice reveals the deep value of the ring doubler chain beyond the conveying tool:
- spatial arbitrage model
The saved plant area is transformed into new production lines, and the annual income from the improvement of ping efficiency is ≈ 23% of the equipment cost (the average value of enterprises in the Economic Development Zone). - Skill dependency decoupling
Accumulation function enables unskilled workers to work in 3 days, reducing labour costs and maintaining yield 99.2%+. - Capacity option effect
Fast response to order fluctuations through variable frequency speed control (2-20 m/min), 30% capacity adjustment can be completed within 48 hours
This property makes itThe optimal first move for intelligent transformation of manufacturing companies in the Midwest--60% less investment than a fully automated production line, but 85% performance improvement.
Self-questioning: Four questions about the core of Chengdu's circular doubling chain
Q1: How does the circular design solve the problem of high land costs in Chengdu?
A: Closed-loop layoutSaving 30%-50% Occupied areaIn the context of the annual average land price increase of 12% in Chengdu Industrial Park, it is equivalent to creating an additional revenue of 7.2% per year.
