  • Patent number: 8763356
    Abstract: A chain, in particular a technical chain, preferably a unidimensionally movable chain (plate link chain), more preferably a bolt chain or roller chain, has at least one or more chain links. The at least one chain link is constructed with pretensioning. A manufacturing method includes the following steps: assembling at least one chain link from at least two link plates with link plate holes and two bolts or sleeves. In the non-assembled state, the link plate is not straight, in particular has a curved form, and/or the link plate and the link plate holes have a hole axis, wherein the hole axis is not right-angled, and/or, in the non-assembled state, the bolt or the sleeve is not straight, in particular has a curved form. The chain is assembled from at least two chain links and at least one chain link is manufactured in this way.
