Roller Chain Coupling Manufacturer in Pune, India
SSPTP is a roller chain coupling manufacturer in Pune, building chain couplers at our own works in Bhosari MIDC for industrial customers who need a compact, low-maintenance way to transmit power between two shafts. Every roller chain coupler we manufacture is built from forged, hardened sprockets and a double-strand roller chain, sized and rated against the H.P. table below.
As a dedicated roller chain coupling manufacturer in Pune, SSPTP designs, machines and assembles every chain coupler at our Bhosari MIDC facility rather than outsourcing production. Being based in Pune’s industrial belt means shorter lead times for local customers, easier site visits for technical discussions, and direct access to our engineering team when you’re sizing a coupling for a new or existing installation. Whether you need a single replacement chain coupler or an ongoing supply of roller chain couplings for a production line, our Pune manufacturing base is set up to support both one-off and repeat industrial orders.
Why Buy From a Local Roller Coupling Manufacturer in Pune
Sourcing from a roller coupling manufacturer in Pune, India — rather than an out-of-state supplier — typically means faster delivery, lower freight cost, and the ability to discuss shaft size, torque requirement and application details directly with the people manufacturing your coupling. SSPTP supplies chain couplers in Pune and across Maharashtra, with the same H.P.-rated sizing process used for every order, whether it’s a single unit or a bulk requirement for an OEM production line.
What Is a Roller Chain Coupling?
A roller chain coupling is a mechanical coupling made up of a double-strand roller chain running over two forged, hardened sprockets one mounted on each shaft to be connected. It’s a straightforward, compact design, but the hardened, precision-cut sprocket teeth allow it to carry a high amount of torque relative to its size.
How a Roller Chain Coupling Works
A rotating sprocket connected to the motor drives the chain, which in turn drives the sprocket on the load side. Because the chain and sprockets have a small amount of built-in clearance, roller chain couplers don’t require perfect shaft alignment to operate — though close alignment is still recommended for the longest service life. Torque is spread across the whole chain and every sprocket tooth rather than concentrated at one point, which is what lets a relatively compact coupler handle high torque loads without excessive wear at any single contact point.
Roller Chain Coupling Components
Every roller chain coupling we manufacture is built from six precision-machined and heat-treated components:
- Pin
- Bushing
- Roller
- Pin link plate
- Roller link plate
- Forged, hardened sprocket hub
Each component is manufactured to precise tolerances and heat-treated specifically to optimize wear resistance, fatigue strength and tensile strength — the three properties that determine how long a chain coupler lasts under continuous industrial duty.
Cast Aluminium Covers for Roller Chain Couplings
For more demanding applications, we offer cast aluminium covers that extend coupling life by providing continuous lubrication and full protection from dust, grit and other abrasive contaminants. The two cover halves fit around the coupling and connect with Nyloc cap-head bolts, with Neoprene seals fitted between the sprocket hub and cover to keep lubricant in and contaminants out. Covers are fitted after the coupling is fully installed on the shafts.
Key Features of Our Roller Chain Couplings
- Quick installation and removal – the single-pin design lets the chain be uninstalled and reinstalled quickly, reducing labor time and machine downtime during maintenance.
- Even torque distribution – torque is spread across the full roller chain and sprocket assembly rather than concentrated at one point, giving consistent load-bearing across the whole coupler.
- Compact and flexible – a small footprint relative to the torque it can carry, suited to a wide range of industrial applications.
- Built-in misalignment tolerance – the natural clearance between chain and sprockets means absolute shaft alignment isn’t required for the coupling to function, though close alignment is still recommended.
- Cost-effective power transmission – a simpler, lower-cost alternative to more complex coupling designs for low-speed, high-torque duty.
Applications of Roller Chain Couplings in Pune's Industrial Sector

- Domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery
- Conveyor drive systems
- Wire- and tube-drawing machines
- Printing presses and other press machinery
- General power transmission between misaligned shafts
Why Choose SSPTP as Your Roller Chain Coupling Manufacturer in Pune
Easy Shaft Alignment
Shafts being coupled should ideally be aligned as accurately as possible along a straight line, which in practice is often difficult to achieve exactly. The clearance built into the chain-and-sprocket design gives the flexibility to accommodate small misalignments, while also protecting bearings from the overheating and abrasion that poor alignment can otherwise cause.
Selection of the Size of the couplings
Decide the service factor for your application by considering hours of service per day and the type of power unit involved, using the reference table below. For 8–16 hours/day service, use the next step up in service factor; for 16–24 hours/day service, use two steps higher.
Calculate Design Horsepower
Multiply the horsepower of your driver unit by the service factor determined above — this gives you the design horsepower. Note the maximum RPM your unit will run at, and the shaft diameter.
H. P. Ratings
From the H.P. rating table, select the coupling size rated equal to or slightly greater than your design horsepower at your required RPM. Confirm the shaft diameter is within the coupling’s maximum bore if not, select the next coupling size that can be bored to fit your shaft.
Roller Chain Coupling Lubrication Guide
Couplings operating without covers, under reasonably clean conditions, will give satisfactory service if brushed thoroughly with a medium-consistency ball-bearing grease on a weekly basis. Couplings operating with cast aluminium covers should be kept filled with a good-quality soft or medium-consistency ball-bearing grease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Who is a reliable roller chain coupling manufacturer in Pune, India?
SSPTP is a roller chain coupling manufacturer in Pune, based at Bhosari MIDC, building each chain coupler from forged, hardened sprockets and a double-strand roller chain, sized against our published H.P. rating tables.
Q2. Do you supply chain couplers in Pune and the wider Maharashtra region?
Yes, SSPTP supplies chain couplers in Pune and to industrial customers across Maharashtra, sizing each coupling to the specific torque, speed and shaft-diameter requirements of the application.
Q3. Is SSPTP a roller coupling manufacturer in Pune India, or do you also supply other coupling types?
SSPTP is a roller coupling manufacturer in Pune as well as a manufacturer of flexible gear couplings, jaw couplings, torque limiter couplings and other power transmission products roller chain couplings are one part of our full coupling range.
Q4. What is a roller chain coupling used for?
A roller chain coupling transmits power between two rotating shafts, particularly in low-speed, high-torque applications such as conveyors, wire-drawing machines and general industrial power transmission.
Q5. Do roller chain couplings require perfect shaft alignment?
No, the built-in clearance between the chain and sprockets allows roller chain couplings to accommodate a degree of shaft misalignment, though close alignment is still recommended for the longest service life.
Q6. How do I choose the right size roller chain coupling?
Determine your service factor based on hours of daily service and power unit type, multiply it by your driver unit’s horsepower to get design horsepower, then match that figure along with your shaft diameter and operating RPM to our H.P. rating table. See the sizing guide above for the full method.
7. Do SSPTP’s roller chain couplings come with protective covers?
Yes, cast aluminium covers are available for more demanding applications, providing continuous lubrication and protection from abrasive contaminants.
