Side bow (curved) chains are able to flex and twist due to extra clearance between the inner and outer side plates. They are ideal for use on curved conveyors or to transmit power under misaligned sprocket conditions. They are produced with barrel shaped pins and additional pin, bushing and link plate clearances. These features allow travel in a curved path and/or chain twist.
