Chain Link Types in Rotary Drilling Rig Undercarriage Systems
In the undercarriage system of drilling rigs, the crawler chain plays a vital role in transferring power and supporting the machine’s movement under heavy loads. Understanding the types of chain links used in different applications helps ensure optimal performance and longer service life.
There are two main categories of link assy (chain assemblies) used in foundation drilling equipment:
1. Sealed and Lubricated Crawler Chain
This type of chain link features built-in lubrication between the pin and bushing, protected by rubber seals. It significantly reduces friction and wear, providing longer lifespan and better reliability. Sealed link assy is widely used in rotary drilling rigs, crawler cranes, and other heavy-duty machinery working in tough jobsite conditions.
2. Dry Chain Link (Non-sealed Type)
Dry chains have no internal grease or sealing. These crawler chain types are more economical and easier to maintain but have a shorter service life due to higher wear. They are usually found in light-duty equipment or in temporary project use.
Yantai Orient supplies a full range of crawler chain assemblies, track shoes, bottom rollers, carrier rollers, idlers, and sprockets for rotary drilling rigs. Our products are compatible with major brands such as Bauer, MAIT, Soilmec,IMT and Sennebogen.

Wear of the crawler track. Wear between the track pin and the pin bushing is inevitable, but this wear will stretch the track pitch and make the track too large. If this wear continues, the track will move sideways, causing wear on the idler, track rollers, and sprockets, while also exacerbating the wear on the track pin and bushing.
In the grand blueprint of infrastructure construction, every rotary drilling rig plays a crucial role. But have you ever wondered why some equipment can operate consistently and efficiently under harsh working conditions, while others frequently malfunction? The answer often lies in unnoticed details, such as the unsung hero of the rotary drilling rig – the chain guard.
