Abstract
An articulated bushing chain comprises inner and outer chain links alternately connected to each other by a chain joint, the inner chain link comprising at least one inner plate and two joint bushings and the outer chain link comprising at least two outer plates and two joint pins interconnecting the same, each chain joint being defined by a joint bushing of the inner chain link and a joint pin of the outer chain link and the chain joint being configured as a rocker joint in which a rocking surface of the joint pin rolls on a convex inner rocker contour of the joint bushing during a movement of the joint. The rocking surface of the joint pin has a rocking radius larger than a limit value calculated according to a given formula. The rocking surface of the joint pin is prevented from slipping on the rocker contour of the joint bushing.
