A roller chain, commonly used in various mechanical systems such as motorcycles, bicycles, industrial machinery, and more, should be replaced when it shows signs of wear or damage.
Chains are common components in industrial and mechanical applications, but identifying the type of chain you’re using can sometimes be challenging. This article will explain how to determine the chain type (chain no.) you’re using, making it easier for you to maintain, replace, or purchase a chain of the same specification.
As a comprehensive destination for industry solutions, we take pride in offering top-quality products to meet your specific needs. From standard roller chains to attachment roller chains, hot dog chains (sausage chains), spiral conveyor chains, accumulation chains and even fitness machine chains (stair climb chains or rowing machine chains). We are your trusted partner in enhancing performance across various applications.
The measurement of the chain pitch is performed by measuring a specific length of the chain to ensure that the chain pitch conforms to the standard.
Most chains use metal links for higher strength, but they can be heavy and require frequent lubrication and maintenance. However, for lighter loads and applications that are not lubricated or easily corrode, chains with a combination of engineering plastics and stainless steel can be considered.
