FAQs
How do I read a roller chain sizing chart?
A roller chain sizing chart lists pitch, roller diameter, pin diameter, and breaking strength by chain number, such as #40 or #60. Match the chain number stamped on your existing chain or sprocket to the chart to confirm you're ordering a compatible replacement.
How do I measure roller chain?
To measure roller chain, count the pitch—the center-to-center distance between two adjacent pins—across multiple links and divide by the number of spaces for accuracy. Also note the roller diameter and overall width to fully identify the chain type.
What is the difference between standard and stainless steel roller chains?
Standard roller chains are typically made from carbon steel and suited to general industrial use, while stainless steel roller chains resist corrosion and are better suited to washdown, food processing, or outdoor environments where moisture and chemicals are a concern.
How often should industrial chain be inspected or replaced?
Industrial chain should be inspected regularly for elongation, rust, and worn rollers, with replacement intervals depending on load, speed, and lubrication practices. Following a roller chain manufacturer's maintenance guide and keeping the chain properly lubricated significantly extends service life.
What is chain pitch and why does it matter?
Chain pitch is the center-to-center distance between pins, and it must match the pitch of the mating sprocket for proper engagement. Using a chain and sprocket with mismatched pitch causes poor power transfer, excess wear, and a higher risk of chain failure.
