ABSTRACT:
A rocker joint for a power transmission chain is formed from a single pin d an associated link aperture. The pin has a substantially flat front surface and a convex back surface, with the back surface being defined by a plurality of radii. The pin is received in the aperture of the link such that the front surface of the pin engages and rocks on the curved surface of the link aperture. The back surface of the pin is movable in the aperture of the links as the surfaces move relative to one another when the chain articulates.
