Steel Chains

Chains are a series of connected links which are typically made of metals such as steel. A chain may consist of two or more links. There are two general categories of steel chains:

Those designed for lifting, such as a hoist chain; for pulling; or for securing, such as with a bicycle lock. These link chains have links that are torus shaped, which make the chain flexible in two dimensions (The fixed third dimension being a chain's length.)
Those designed for transferring power in machines have links designed to mesh with the teeth of the sprockets of the machine, and are flexible in only one dimension. These chains are known as roller chains, though there are also non-roller chains such as block chains.

LINK CHAINS: These have torus shaped links. They are popular as bicycle locks, locking chains, pulling & hoisting chains and similar applications.
