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.

For drilling rig operators, track de-chaining is a frustrating and potentially dangerous problem. While the harsh working environments rigs operate in—often encountering soil, mud, and stones—make occasional track slippage almost unavoidable, frequent de-chaining is a red flag. It signals an underlying issue that needs immediate attention, not just for operational efficiency but critically for safety, as unexpected track loss can lead to accidents.
