What size is 40 chain?

1/2″
40-1 Roller chain made to ANSI b 29.1 is 1/2″ or 12.7 mm pitch. It is available in single strand 40-1 duplex 40-2 and triplex 40-3.

What size is 80 chain?

1-inch
80 roller chain is defined as a 1-inch pitch chain as signified by the first number “8” in the chain part number. Pitch value is determined by dividing the first number of chain part number by 8 (8/8=1” Pitch). PEER roller chains conform with ANSI/ASME standards for all standard roller chain sizes from 25 to 240.

How are chains measured?

The chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet (22 yards). It is subdivided into 100 links or 4 rods. There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile.

What is the pitch of a drive chain?

In terms of conveyor chain, pitch is usually defined as the distance between links, as measured from the center of the roller pin on one link to the center of the roller pin on the next link. Note that some precision link conveyors refer to the pitch as the link size.

Which is bigger 35 or 40 chain?

Another key point to note is that sprockets for the #35 chain are usually smaller than 40,41 and 420 sprockets. So you can use an axle sprocket with more teeth without having clearance issues. You’ll also find that the clutches that use the #35 chains have 12 or 14 teeth in comparison to 10 teeth on 420 chain clutches.

Is 40 and 41 chain the same?

The differences between 41 roller chain and 40 roller chain are the roller width and diameter, plate height and thickness, overall width, and tensile strength.

What is chain chart?

Chain Diagrams. Chain diagrams, also called sequence of events diagrams, are a type of graphic organizer that describe the stages or steps in a process.

What is chain number?

The first number is the pitch size in 1/8 inch, ie 4/8 = 1/2 inch pitch. The second number refers to the chain being a roller chain, 0 = roller chain. A 5 replacing the 0 would indicate a bush chain. The suffix, as with European standard chain, refers to the number of strands in the chain, that is 2 = duplex chain.
