Roller chains are used to transmit mechanical energy between sprockets in power transmission applications. They are available in several styles to meet the needs of various application types.
Typical uses include the transmission of torque and acceleration from engines to the wheel, or in the drive of centrifugal pumps, fans and generators. The type of chain used can affect the cost and efficiency of a machine, along with how long it will last.
Single-strand standard series and multiple-strand power transmission chains are manufactured in many sizes, providing a wide range of power rating capacities to cover the most demanding of applications. They are designed to provide high torque capacity without requiring excessively large sprockets, so they can be used in small spaces and at higher speeds.
Pitch: The pitch of a chain refers to the distance between roller centers and link plates, which is slightly more than the diameter of the roller. The pitch of a chain is the key determining factor when selecting the appropriate type for your application.
A pitch of a chain is measured in eighths of an inch and can be rated to achieve specific power rating capacities depending on its speed. A hyphenation of the number following the pitch indicates the strength of the chain, such as "60H-3" for triple-strand chains.
Double-pitch power transmission chains are available for drives where the speed and loads are moderate or the center distances are long. They are lighter and less expensive than single-strand chains of the same power rating.
X-ring and O-Ring chains are designed to reduce friction between links in a chain, resulting in greater chain life. They also prevent rust from developing on the outside of the chain.
Cottered chains use cotter pins instead of regular pins on one side of the chain. This makes assembling and cutting the chain easier and reduces wear on the sprockets that contact the pins.
Other factors in a chain's wear performance are the quality of its components, fabrication, and assembly. Diamond's stringent standards ensure the proper machining and heat treatment for all components of a chain to maximize its wear performance.
Plates and Bushings: A key component of the chain's wear performance is the metallurgy of its plates, bushings, and pins. The sizing and thickness of these parts are critical to the chain's ability to hold its lubrication, while still providing an adequate bearing surface. The bushings go through a grinding process to ensure that they have a smooth surface and tight tolerances on their inside and outside diameters to provide a uniform bearing surface.
Case depth: A key consideration for a chain's wear life is the case depth of its pins. A shallow case depth would lead to premature wear.
A shallow case depth could also increase the chain's overall weight and result in early break-in wear. A deeper case depth is preferred to minimize this effect and ensure maximum wear performance.
