  • PLATE LINK CHAIN HAVING A SECURING ELEMENT FORMING A PROTRUDING NOSE AS A CONTACT POINT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PLATE LINK CHAIN
    Publication number: 20210293305
    Abstract: A plate link chain for a continuously variable transmission having cone pulleys includes a plurality of plates arranged transverse to a wrap-around direction of the plate link chain, a rocker pin and a securing element. The rocker pin extends transverse to the wrap-around direction, connects the plurality of plates to one another, and is arranged to absorb a force applied by the cone pulleys. The securing element is welded onto the rocker pin, forms a stop for a one of the plurality of plates transverse to the wrap-around direction, and has a nose protruding transverse to the wrap-around direction. The nose defines a contact point between the securing element and the one of the plurality of plates.
