Pitch




   ANSI Pitch:      Number designations for roller chain pitch are governed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  English roller chain and sprockets are categorized according to ANSI B 29.1M. The number can be used to identify pitch in the following way: the first digits identify the pitch in 1/8" increments, and the last digit is 0 for standard proportions, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for rollerless bushed chain. A #41 sprocket is therefore for 1/2"-pitch lightweight chain, a #120 sprocket is for 1-1/2" pitch chain, etc.

   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   BS/DIN Pitch:      British Standard / DIN / International Standards Organization (ISO) designations are governed by European standards committees.  Metric roller chain and sprockets are categorized according to ISO Standard 606. The number correlates to pitch in 1/16" increments, expressed in millimeter units. AN ISO 12 sprocket therefore mates with a chain with 3/4", or 19.05mm, pitch.

Material




   Material      Roller chain comes in a wide variety of metal and plastic materials. Many factors such as cost, environmental conditions, noise and heat generation and design horsepower transmission influence the best material choice. Consult a chain manufacturer on a specific application for material optimization.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Steel / Hardened Steel
 
     A commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
 
   Steel - Stainless
 
     Stainless steel refers to a broad family of steels that is chemical and corrosion resistant; is typically not hardened or hardenable to the same extent as standard carbon steels.
 
   Nylon
 
     Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general purpose material in wide use; it is tough, corrosion resistant and has good strength ratings for plastic.
 
   Acetal
 
     Acetal polymers are semi-crystalline. They offer excellent inherent lubricity, fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance. Acetals suffer from outgassing problems at elevated temperatures, and are brittle at low temperatures. Glass filled, and added lubrication grades are available, flame retardant grades are not. Brand names include Celcon (Hoechst Celanese), Delrin (Dupont), Thermocomp (LNP), Ultraform (BASF), and Acetron (DSM).
 
   Polypropylene
 
     Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material exhibiting excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. It is similar to PVC but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone.
 
   Plastic / Metal Combination
 
     Any combination of plastic and metal components; may be used for chain lightness, running quietness, etc.
 
   Other
 
     Unlisted or specialized chain material.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Features and Options
