Hint M6 - Chain

The 32mm chain links shown in the photos in this page are available in some classic K'NEX sets, and can be bought separately in our online K'NEX shop. The links may be snapped together to make a chain of any length. Make sure you get all the links the same way round.

There is also a smaller 20mm Micro chain link, which works in a similar way. This is available in the Micro K'NEX section of the online K'NEX shop.		Hint M6 - Chain
Usage (1) Chain is very useful for transferring rotary motion from one part of a model to another. It has two advantages over pulleys and rubber bands, in that the chain rarely slips, and that a chain can be created in any length. Chain is also very useful for making caterpillar tracks on vehicles such as a Bulldozer.

The easiest way to use 32mm K'NEX chain is to use it to link two red gear wheels, as shown in the photo.
An even better way to use 32mm K'NEX chain is to link it between two pairs of yellow or red gears, as shown in the photo opposite. This gives a more positive drive than simply using one red gear at each end.Usage (2)
Usage (3) The easiest way to use 20mm K'NEX chain is to use it to link two Micro K'NEX grey gear wheels, as shown in the photo.
