Roller Chain

Roller Chain 
Roller chains can be classified into different types based on various characteristics such as their construction, pitch size, and specific applications. Here are some common classifications of roller chains:

Standard Roller Chains:

ANSI standard chains: Follow the dimensional standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
ISO standard chains: Conform to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications.
Engineering Class Chains:

Designed for heavy-duty applications in industries like agriculture, forestry, and mining.
Have higher tensile strength and are more rugged compared to standard roller chains.
Double Pitch Chains:

Feature longer pitches between the rollers, suitable for conveying applications where slower speeds are required.
Attachment Chains:

Equipped with special attachments for specific functions such as conveying products or securing items during transport.
Hollow Pin Chains:

Have hollow pins that allow for the attachment of various accessories or additions to the chain links.
Nickel-Plated Chains:

Corrosion-resistant chains with a nickel plating for use in environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern.
Stainless Steel Chains:

Made from stainless steel for applications requiring resistance to corrosion or high temperatures.
Each type of roller chain has its unique features and advantages, making it suitable for different industrial applications. Proper selection of the roller chain type is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity in a given application.
