Product Description
ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. It consists of a series of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links. It is driven by a toothed wheel called a sprocket. It is a simple, reliable, and efficient means of power transmission.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAIN
Two different sizes of roller chain, showing construction.
There are 2 types of links alternating in the bush roller chain. The first type is inner links, having 2 inner plates held together by 2 sleeves or bushings CHINAMFG which rotate 2 rollers. Inner links alternate with the second type, the outer links, consisting of 2 outer plates held together by pins passing through the bushings of the inner links. The “bushingless” roller chain is similar in operation though not in construction; instead of separate bushings or sleeves holding the inner plates together, the plate has a tube stamped into it protruding from the hole which serves the same purpose. This has the advantage of removing 1 step in assembly of the chain.
The roller chain design reduces friction compared to simpler designs, resulting in higher efficiency and less wear. The original power transmission chain varieties lacked rollers and bushings, with both the inner and outer plates held by pins which directly contacted the sprocket teeth; however this configuration exhibited extremely rapid wear of both the sprocket teeth, and the plates where they pivoted on the pins. This problem was partially solved by the development of bushed chains, with the pins holding the outer plates passing through bushings or sleeves connecting the inner plates. This distributed the wear over a greater area; however the teeth of the sprockets still wore more rapidly than is desirable, from the sliding friction against the bushings. The addition of rollers surrounding the bushing sleeves of the chain and provided rolling contact with the teeth of the sprockets resulting in excellent resistance to wear of both sprockets and chain as well. There is even very low friction, as long as the chain is sufficiently lubricated. Continuous, clean, lubrication of roller chains is of primary importance for efficient operation as well as correct tensioning.
LUBRICATION
Many driving chains (for example, in factory equipment, or driving a camshaft inside an internal combustion engine) operate in clean environments, and thus the wearing surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are safe from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment such as an oil bath. Some roller chains are designed to have o-rings built into the space between the outside link plate and the inside roller link plates. Chain manufacturers began to include this feature in 1971 after the application was invented by Joseph Montano while working for Whitney Chain of Hartford, Connecticut. O-rings were included as a way to improve lubrication to the links of power transmission chains, a service that is vitally important to extending their working life. These rubber fixtures form a barrier that holds factory applied lubricating grease inside the pin and bushing wear areas. Further, the rubber o-rings prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering inside the chain linkages, where such particles would otherwise cause significant wear.[citation needed]
There are also many chains that have to operate in dirty conditions, and for size or operational reasons cannot be sealed. Examples include chains on farm equipment, bicycles, and chain saws. These chains will necessarily have relatively high rates of wear, particularly when the operators are prepared to accept more friction, less efficiency, more noise and more frequent replacement as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
Many oil-based lubricants attract dirt and other particles, eventually forming an CHINAMFG paste that will compound wear on chains. This problem can be circumvented by use of a “dry” PTFE spray, which forms a solid film after application and repels both particles and moisture.
VARIANTS DESIGN
Layout of a roller chain: 1. Outer plate, 2. Inner plate, 3. Pin, 4. Bushing, 5. Roller
If the chain is not being used for a high wear application (for instance if it is just transmitting motion from a hand-operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding door on an oven), then 1 of the simpler types of chain may still be used. Conversely, where extra strength but the smooth drive of a smaller pitch is required, the chain may be “siamesed”; instead of just 2 rows of plates on the outer sides of the chain, there may be 3 (“duplex”), 4 (“triplex”), or more rows of plates running parallel, with bushings and rollers between each adjacent pair, and the same number of rows of teeth running in parallel on the sprockets to match. Timing chains on automotive engines, for example, typically have multiple rows of plates called strands.
Roller chain is made in several sizes, the most common American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards being 40, 50, 60, and 80. The first digit(s) indicate the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the last digit being 0 for standard chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers. Thus, a chain with half-inch pitch would be a #40 while a #160 sprocket would have teeth spaced 2 inches apart, etc. Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch; thus a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equivalent to an ANSI #40. Most roller chain is made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but stainless steel is used in food processing machinery or other places where lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally seen for the same reason.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master link (also known as a connecting link), which typically has 1 pin held by a horseshoe clip rather than friction fit, allowing it to be inserted or removed with simple tools. Chain with a removable link or pin is also known as cottered chain, which allows the length of the chain to be adjusted. Half links (also known as offsets) are available and are used to increase the length of the chain by a single roller. Riveted roller chain has the master link (also known as a connecting link) “riveted” or mashed on the ends. These pins are made to be durable and are not removable.
USE

Roller chains are used in low- to mid-speed drives at around 600 to 800 feet per minute; however, at higher speeds, around 2,000 to 3,000 feet per minute, V-belts are normally used due to wear and noise issues.
A bicycle chain is a form of roller chain. Bicycle chains may have a master link, or may require a chain tool for removal and installation. A similar but larger and thus stronger chain is used on most motorcycles although it is sometimes replaced by either a toothed belt or a shaft drive, which offer lower noise level and fewer maintenance requirements.
The great majority of automobile engines use roller chains to drive the camshaft(s). Very high performance engines often use gear drive, and starting in the early 1960s toothed belts were used by some manufacturers.
Chains are also used in forklifts using hydraulic rams as a pulley to raise and lower the carriage; however, these chains are not considered roller chains, but are classified as lift or leaf chains.
Chainsaw cutting chains superficially resemble roller chains but are more closely related to leaf chains. They are driven by projecting drive links which also serve to locate the chain CHINAMFG the bar.

A perhaps unusual use of a pair of motorcycle chains is in the Harrier Jump Jet, where a chain drive from an air motor is used to rotate the movable engine nozzles, allowing them to be pointed downwards for hovering flight, or to the rear for normal CHINAMFG flight, a system known as Thrust vectoring.
WEAR
The effect of wear on a roller chain is to increase the pitch (spacing of the links), causing the chain to grow longer. Note that this is due to wear at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from actual stretching of the metal (as does happen to some flexible steel components such as the hand-brake cable of a motor vehicle).
With modern chains it is unusual for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to wear until it breaks, since a worn chain leads to the rapid onset of wear on the teeth of the sprockets, with ultimate failure being the loss of all the teeth on the sprocket. The sprockets (in particular the smaller of the two) suffer a grinding motion that puts a characteristic hook shape into the driven face of the teeth. (This effect is made worse by a chain improperly tensioned, but is unavoidable no matter what care is taken). The worn teeth (and chain) no longer provides smooth transmission of power and this may become evident from the noise, the vibration or (in car engines using a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing seen with a timing light. Both sprockets and chain should be replaced in these cases, since a new chain on worn sprockets will not last long. However, in less severe cases it may be possible to save the larger of the 2 sprockets, since it is always the smaller 1 that suffers the most wear. Only in very light-weight applications such as a bicycle, or in extreme cases of improper tension, will the chain normally jump off the sprockets.
The lengthening due to wear of a chain is calculated by the following formula:
M = the length of a number of links measured
S = the number of links measured
P = Pitch
In industry, it is usual to monitor the movement of the chain tensioner (whether manual or automatic) or the exact length of a drive chain (one rule of thumb is to replace a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable drive or 1.5% on a fixed-center drive). A simpler method, particularly suitable for the cycle or motorcycle user, is to attempt to pull the chain away from the larger of the 2 sprockets, whilst ensuring the chain is taut. Any significant movement (e.g. making it possible to see through a gap) probably indicates a chain worn up to and beyond the limit. Sprocket damage will result if the problem is ignored. Sprocket wear cancels this effect, and may mask chain wear.
CHAIN STRENGTH
The most common measure of roller chain’s strength is tensile strength. Tensile strength represents how much load a chain can withstand under a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile strength is a chain’s fatigue strength. The critical factors in a chain’s fatigue strength is the quality of steel used to manufacture the chain, the heat treatment of the chain components, the quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot plus the intensity of shot peen coverage on the linkplates. Other factors can include the thickness of the linkplates and the design (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous drive is for the chain load to not exceed a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile strength, depending on the type of master links used (press-fit vs. slip-fit)[citation needed]. Roller chains operating on a continuous drive beyond these thresholds can and typically do fail prematurely via linkplate fatigue failure.
The standard minimum ultimate strength of the ANSI 29.1 steel chain is 12,500 x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains greatly decrease wear by means of internal lubricants, increasing chain life. The internal lubrication is inserted by means of a vacuum when riveting the chain together.
CHAIN STHangZhouRDS
Standards organizations (such as ANSI and ISO) maintain standards for design, dimensions, and interchangeability of transmission chains. For example, the following Table shows data from ANSI standard B29.1-2011 (Precision Power Transmission Roller Chains, Attachments, and Sprockets) developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). See the references[8][9][10] for additional information.

For mnemonic purposes, below is another presentation of key dimensions from the same standard, expressed in fractions of an inch (which was part of the thinking behind the choice of preferred numbers in the ANSI standard):
| Pitch (inches) | Pitch expressed in eighths |
ANSI standard chain number |
Width (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1⁄4 | 2⁄8 | 25 | 1⁄8 |
| 3⁄8 | 3⁄8 | 35 | 3⁄16 |
| 1⁄2 | 4⁄8 | 41 | 1⁄4 |
| 1⁄2 | 4⁄8 | 40 | 5⁄16 |
| 5⁄8 | 5⁄8 | 50 | 3⁄8 |
| 3⁄4 | 6⁄8 | 60 | 1⁄2 |
| 1 | 8⁄8 | 80 | 5⁄8 |
Notes:
1. The pitch is the distance between roller centers. The width is the distance between the link plates (i.e. slightly more than the roller width to allow for clearance).
2. The right-hand digit of the standard denotes 0 = normal chain, 1 = lightweight chain, 5 = rollerless bushing chain.
3. The left-hand digit denotes the number of eighths of an inch that make up the pitch.
4. An “H” following the standard number denotes heavyweight chain. A hyphenated number following the standard number denotes double-strand (2), triple-strand (3), and so on. Thus 60H-3 denotes number 60 heavyweight triple-strand chain.
A typical bicycle chain (for derailleur gears) uses narrow 1⁄2-inch-pitch chain. The width of the chain is variable, and does not affect the load capacity. The more sprockets at the rear wheel (historically 3-6, nowadays 7-12 sprockets), the narrower the chain. Chains are sold according to the number of speeds they are designed to work with, for example, “10 speed chain”. Hub gear or single speed bicycles use 1/2″ x 1/8″ chains, where 1/8″ refers to the maximum thickness of a sprocket that can be used with the chain.
Typically chains with parallel shaped links have an even number of links, with each narrow link followed by a broad one. Chains built up with a uniform type of link, narrow at 1 and broad at the other end, can be made with an odd number of links, which can be an advantage to adapt to a special chainwheel-distance; on the other side such a chain tends to be not so strong.
Roller chains made using ISO standard are sometimes called as isochains.

ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. It consists of a series of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links. It is driven by a toothed wheel called a sprocket. It is a simple, reliable, and efficient means of power transmission.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAIN
Two different sizes of roller chain, showing construction.
There are 2 types of links alternating in the bush roller chain. The first type is inner links, having 2 inner plates held together by 2 sleeves or bushings CHINAMFG which rotate 2 rollers. Inner links alternate with the second type, the outer links, consisting of 2 outer plates held together by pins passing through the bushings of the inner links. The “bushingless” roller chain is similar in operation though not in construction; instead of separate bushings or sleeves holding the inner plates together, the plate has a tube stamped into it protruding from the hole which serves the same purpose. This has the advantage of removing 1 step in assembly of the chain.
The roller chain design reduces friction compared to simpler designs, resulting in higher efficiency and less wear. The original power transmission chain varieties lacked rollers and bushings, with both the inner and outer plates held by pins which directly contacted the sprocket teeth; however this configuration exhibited extremely rapid wear of both the sprocket teeth, and the plates where they pivoted on the pins. This problem was partially solved by the development of bushed chains, with the pins holding the outer plates passing through bushings or sleeves connecting the inner plates. This distributed the wear over a greater area; however the teeth of the sprockets still wore more rapidly than is desirable, from the sliding friction against the bushings. The addition of rollers surrounding the bushing sleeves of the chain and provided rolling contact with the teeth of the sprockets resulting in excellent resistance to wear of both sprockets and chain as well. There is even very low friction, as long as the chain is sufficiently lubricated. Continuous, clean, lubrication of roller chains is of primary importance for efficient operation as well as correct tensioning.
LUBRICATION
Many driving chains (for example, in factory equipment, or driving a camshaft inside an internal combustion engine) operate in clean environments, and thus the wearing surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are safe from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment such as an oil bath. Some roller chains are designed to have o-rings built into the space between the outside link plate and the inside roller link plates.

Further, the rubber o-rings prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering inside the chain linkages, where such particles would otherwise cause significant wear.[citation needed]
There are also many chains that have to operate in dirty conditions, and for size or operational reasons cannot be sealed. Examples include chains on farm equipment, bicycles, and chain saws. These chains will necessarily have relatively high rates of wear, particularly when the operators are prepared to accept more friction, less efficiency, more noise and more frequent replacement as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
Many oil-based lubricants attract dirt and other particles, eventually forming an CHINAMFG paste that will compound wear on chains. This problem can be circumvented by use of a “dry” PTFE spray, which forms a solid film after application and repels both particles and moisture.

If the chain is not being used for a high wear application (for instance if it is just transmitting motion from a hand-operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding door on an oven), then 1 of the simpler types of chain may still be used. Conversely, where extra strength but the smooth drive of a smaller pitch is required, the chain may be “siamesed”; instead of just 2 rows of plates on the outer sides of the chain, there may be 3 (“duplex”), 4 (“triplex”), or more rows of plates running parallel, with bushings and rollers between each adjacent pair, and the same number of rows of teeth running in parallel on the sprockets to match. Timing chains on automotive engines, for example, typically have multiple rows of plates called strands.
Roller chain is made in several sizes, the most common American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards being 40, 50, 60, and 80. The first digit(s) indicate the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the last digit being 0 for standard chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers. Thus, a chain with half-inch pitch would be a #40 while a #160 sprocket would have teeth spaced 2 inches apart, etc. Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch; thus a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equivalent to an ANSI #40. Most roller chain is made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but stainless steel is used in food processing machinery or other places where lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally seen for the same reason.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master link (also known as a connecting link), which typically has 1 pin held by a horseshoe clip rather than friction fit, allowing it to be inserted or removed with simple tools. Chain with a removable link or pin is also known as cottered chain, which allows the length of the chain to be adjusted. Half links (also known as offsets) are available and are used to increase the length of the chain by a single roller. Riveted roller chain has the master link (also known as a connecting link) “riveted” or mashed on the ends. These pins are made to be durable and are not removable.
USE

Roller chains are used in low- to mid-speed drives at around 600 to 800 feet per minute; however, at higher speeds, around 2,000 to 3,000 feet per minute, V-belts are normally used due to wear and noise issues.
A bicycle chain is a form of roller chain. Bicycle chains may have a master link, or may require a chain tool for removal and installation. A similar but larger and thus stronger chain is used on most motorcycles although it is sometimes replaced by either a toothed belt or a shaft drive, which offer lower noise level and fewer maintenance requirements.
The great majority of automobile engines use roller chains to drive the camshaft(s). Very high performance engines often use gear drive, and starting in the early 1960s toothed belts were used by some manufacturers.
Chains are also used in forklifts using hydraulic rams as a pulley to raise and lower the carriage; however, these chains are not considered roller chains, but are classified as lift or leaf chains.
Chainsaw cutting chains superficially resemble roller chains but are more closely related to leaf chains. They are driven by projecting drive links which also serve to locate the chain CHINAMFG the bar.

A perhaps unusual use of a pair of motorcycle chains is in the Harrier Jump Jet, where a chain drive from an air motor is used to rotate the movable engine nozzles, allowing them to be pointed downwards for hovering flight, or to the rear for normal CHINAMFG flight, a system known as Thrust vectoring.
WEAR
The effect of wear on a roller chain is to increase the pitch (spacing of the links), causing the chain to grow longer. Note that this is due to wear at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from actual stretching of the metal (as does happen to some flexible steel components such as the hand-brake cable of a motor vehicle).
With modern chains it is unusual for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to wear until it breaks, since a worn chain leads to the rapid onset of wear on the teeth of the sprockets, with ultimate failure being the loss of all the teeth on the sprocket. The sprockets (in particular the smaller of the two) suffer a grinding motion that puts a characteristic hook shape into the driven face of the teeth. (This effect is made worse by a chain improperly tensioned, but is unavoidable no matter what care is taken). The worn teeth (and chain) no longer provides smooth transmission of power and this may become evident from the noise, the vibration or (in car engines using a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing seen with a timing light. Both sprockets and chain should be replaced in these cases, since a new chain on worn sprockets will not last long. However, in less severe cases it may be possible to save the larger of the 2 sprockets, since it is always the smaller 1 that suffers the most wear. Only in very light-weight applications such as a bicycle, or in extreme cases of improper tension, will the chain normally jump off the sprockets.
The lengthening due to wear of a chain is calculated by the following formula:
M = the length of a number of links measured
S = the number of links measured
P = Pitch
In industry, it is usual to monitor the movement of the chain tensioner (whether manual or automatic) or the exact length of a drive chain (one rule of thumb is to replace a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable drive or 1.5% on a fixed-center drive). A simpler method, particularly suitable for the cycle or motorcycle user, is to attempt to pull the chain away from the larger of the 2 sprockets, whilst ensuring the chain is taut. Any significant movement (e.g. making it possible to see through a gap) probably indicates a chain worn up to and beyond the limit. Sprocket damage will result if the problem is ignored. Sprocket wear cancels this effect, and may mask chain wear.
CHAIN STRENGTH
The most common measure of roller chain’s strength is tensile strength. Tensile strength represents how much load a chain can withstand under a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile strength is a chain’s fatigue strength. The critical factors in a chain’s fatigue strength is the quality of steel used to manufacture the chain, the heat treatment of the chain components, the quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot plus the intensity of shot peen coverage on the linkplates. Other factors can include the thickness of the linkplates and the design (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous drive is for the chain load to not exceed a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile strength, depending on the type of master links used (press-fit vs. slip-fit)[citation needed]. Roller chains operating on a continuous drive beyond these thresholds can and typically do fail prematurely via linkplate fatigue failure.
The standard minimum ultimate strength of the ANSI 29.1 steel chain is 12,500 x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains greatly decrease wear by means of internal lubricants, increasing chain life. The internal lubrication is inserted by means of a vacuum when riveting the chain together.

Standards organizations (such as ANSI and ISO) maintain standards for design, dimensions, and interchangeability of transmission chains. For example, the following Table shows data from ANSI standard B29.1-2011 (Precision Power Transmission Roller Chains, Attachments, and Sprockets) developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). See the references[8][9][10] for additional information.

| 3⁄4 | 6⁄8 | 60 | 1⁄2 |
| 1 | 8⁄8 | 80 | 5⁄8 |
Notes:
1. The pitch is the distance between roller centers. The width is the distance between the link plates (i.e. slightly more than the roller width to allow for clearance).
2. The right-hand digit of the standard denotes 0 = normal chain, 1 = lightweight chain, 5 = rollerless bushing chain.
3. The left-hand digit denotes the number of eighths of an inch that make up the pitch.
4. An “H” following the standard number denotes heavyweight chain. A hyphenated number following the standard number denotes double-strand (2), triple-strand (3), and so on. Thus 60H-3 denotes number 60 heavyweight triple-strand chain.
A typical bicycle chain (for derailleur gears) uses narrow 1⁄2-inch-pitch chain. The width of the chain is variable, and does not affect the load capacity. The more sprockets at the rear wheel (historically 3-6, nowadays 7-12 sprockets), the narrower the chain. Chains are sold according to the number of speeds they are designed to work with, for example, “10 speed chain”. Hub gear or single speed bicycles use 1/2″ x 1/8″ chains, where 1/8″ refers to the maximum thickness of a sprocket that can be used with the chain.
Typically chains with parallel shaped links have an even number of links, with each narrow link followed by a broad one. Chains built up with a uniform type of link, narrow at 1 and broad at the other end, can be made with an odd number of links, which can be an advantage to adapt to a special chainwheel-distance; on the other side such a chain tends to be not so strong.
Roller chains made using ISO standard are sometimes called as isochains.

Are there any regulations or guidelines regarding the installation and use of car parking chains in public and private parking lots?
Yes, the installation and use of car parking chains in public and private parking lots are subject to various regulations and guidelines to ensure safety, accessibility, and compliance with local laws. Here are some common considerations:
1. Building Codes and Zoning Regulations: Before installing parking chains, property owners or operators must comply with local building codes and zoning regulations that dictate the types of barriers and access control mechanisms allowed in specific areas.
2. Accessibility Requirements: Parking facilities, including those using parking chains, must comply with accessibility standards, ensuring that they are accessible to individuals with disabilities. This may involve providing designated accessible parking spaces and ensuring barrier-free access to the facility.
3. Height and Clearance: There are often regulations regarding the height of parking chains to prevent them from interfering with vehicles and causing damage. Adequate clearance must be maintained to ensure smooth entry and exit of vehicles.
4. Visibility and Signage: Proper signage should be displayed to inform users about the parking control system in place and to direct them on how to operate it. Adequate lighting should also be provided to ensure good visibility, especially during low-light conditions.
5. Safety Measures: Safety should be a priority when installing parking chains. This includes ensuring that the chain and its supports are securely anchored to prevent accidents or unauthorized removal.
6. Fire Safety Regulations: In certain areas, there may be specific fire safety regulations that dictate the use of specific materials or the inclusion of fire lanes for emergency vehicle access.
7. Permits and Approvals: Depending on the location and local regulations, obtaining permits and approvals from relevant authorities may be necessary before installing parking chains.
8. Compliance with Industry Standards: Manufacturers and installers of parking chains should ensure that their products meet industry standards for quality, durability, and safety.
It is essential for property owners, facility managers, and operators to familiarize themselves with the specific regulations and guidelines in their area and to work with reputable suppliers and installers to ensure compliance and the safe and effective use of car parking chains.
What are the standard sizes and configurations available for car parking chains?
Car parking chains come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different parking facility needs. The standard sizes and configurations include:
1. Length: Parking chains are available in different lengths to span across various entrance or exit widths. Common lengths range from 10 feet (3 meters) to 20 feet (6 meters) to cover typical driveway widths.
2. Link Diameter: The diameter of the individual chain links can vary, with common sizes being around 1/4 inch (6mm) to 3/8 inch (10mm). Thicker links provide additional strength and durability.
3. Material: Parking chains are usually made from sturdy metals like steel, which ensures they can withstand outdoor conditions and the weight of vehicles.
4. Color: While the most common color for parking chains is standard metal silver, some manufacturers offer chains with colored coatings for aesthetic purposes or enhanced visibility.
5. Configurations: There are two primary configurations of parking chains:
- Fixed: Fixed parking chains are permanently mounted on sturdy posts or walls on either side of the entrance or exit. They are not adjustable in length and remain in place at all times.
- Retractable: Retractable or removable parking chains can be raised or lowered as needed. They are connected to retractable posts or bollards, allowing attendants or automated systems to control access by raising or lowering the chain.
It’s essential to choose the appropriate size and configuration based on the specific requirements of the parking facility, the expected volume of traffic, and the level of security needed.

ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. It consists of a series of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links. It is driven by a toothed wheel called a sprocket. It is a simple, reliable, and efficient means of power transmission.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAIN
Two different sizes of roller chain, showing construction.
There are 2 types of links alternating in the bush roller chain. The first type is inner links, having 2 inner plates held together by 2 sleeves or bushings CHINAMFG which rotate 2 rollers. Inner links alternate with the second type, the outer links, consisting of 2 outer plates held together by pins passing through the bushings of the inner links. The “bushingless” roller chain is similar in operation though not in construction; instead of separate bushings or sleeves holding the inner plates together, the plate has a tube stamped into it protruding from the hole which serves the same purpose. This has the advantage of removing 1 step in assembly of the chain.
The roller chain design reduces friction compared to simpler designs, resulting in higher efficiency and less wear. The original power transmission chain varieties lacked rollers and bushings, with both the inner and outer plates held by pins which directly contacted the sprocket teeth; however this configuration exhibited extremely rapid wear of both the sprocket teeth, and the plates where they pivoted on the pins. This problem was partially solved by the development of bushed chains, with the pins holding the outer plates passing through bushings or sleeves connecting the inner plates. This distributed the wear over a greater area; however the teeth of the sprockets still wore more rapidly than is desirable, from the sliding friction against the bushings. The addition of rollers surrounding the bushing sleeves of the chain and provided rolling contact with the teeth of the sprockets resulting in excellent resistance to wear of both sprockets and chain as well. There is even very low friction, as long as the chain is sufficiently lubricated. Continuous, clean, lubrication of roller chains is of primary importance for efficient operation as well as correct tensioning.
LUBRICATION
Many driving chains (for example, in factory equipment, or driving a camshaft inside an internal combustion engine) operate in clean environments, and thus the wearing surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are safe from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment such as an oil bath. Some roller chains are designed to have o-rings built into the space between the outside link plate and the inside roller link plates. Chain manufacturers began to include this feature in 1971 after the application was invented by Joseph Montano while working for Whitney Chain of Hartford, Connecticut. O-rings were included as a way to improve lubrication to the links of power transmission chains, a service that is vitally important to extending their working life. These rubber fixtures form a barrier that holds factory applied lubricating grease inside the pin and bushing wear areas. Further, the rubber o-rings prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering inside the chain linkages, where such particles would otherwise cause significant wear.[citation needed]
There are also many chains that have to operate in dirty conditions, and for size or operational reasons cannot be sealed. Examples include chains on farm equipment, bicycles, and chain saws. These chains will necessarily have relatively high rates of wear, particularly when the operators are prepared to accept more friction, less efficiency, more noise and more frequent replacement as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
Many oil-based lubricants attract dirt and other particles, eventually forming an CHINAMFG paste that will compound wear on chains. This problem can be circumvented by use of a “dry” PTFE spray, which forms a solid film after application and repels both particles and moisture.
VARIANTS DESIGN
Layout of a roller chain: 1. Outer plate, 2. Inner plate, 3. Pin, 4. Bushing, 5. Roller
If the chain is not being used for a high wear application (for instance if it is just transmitting motion from a hand-operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding door on an oven), then 1 of the simpler types of chain may still be used. Conversely, where extra strength but the smooth drive of a smaller pitch is required, the chain may be “siamesed”; instead of just 2 rows of plates on the outer sides of the chain, there may be 3 (“duplex”), 4 (“triplex”), or more rows of plates running parallel, with bushings and rollers between each adjacent pair, and the same number of rows of teeth running in parallel on the sprockets to match. Timing chains on automotive engines, for example, typically have multiple rows of plates called strands.
Roller chain is made in several sizes, the most common American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards being 40, 50, 60, and 80. The first digit(s) indicate the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the last digit being 0 for standard chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers. Thus, a chain with half-inch pitch would be a #40 while a #160 sprocket would have teeth spaced 2 inches apart, etc. Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch; thus a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equivalent to an ANSI #40. Most roller chain is made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but stainless steel is used in food processing machinery or other places where lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally seen for the same reason.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master link (also known as a connecting link), which typically has 1 pin held by a horseshoe clip rather than friction fit, allowing it to be inserted or removed with simple tools. Chain with a removable link or pin is also known as cottered chain, which allows the length of the chain to be adjusted. Half links (also known as offsets) are available and are used to increase the length of the chain by a single roller. Riveted roller chain has the master link (also known as a connecting link) “riveted” or mashed on the ends. These pins are made to be durable and are not removable.
USE
An example of 2 ‘ghost’ sprockets tensioning a triplex roller chain system
Roller chains are used in low- to mid-speed drives at around 600 to 800 feet per minute; however, at higher speeds, around 2,000 to 3,000 feet per minute, V-belts are normally used due to wear and noise issues.
A bicycle chain is a form of roller chain. Bicycle chains may have a master link, or may require a chain tool for removal and installation. A similar but larger and thus stronger chain is used on most motorcycles although it is sometimes replaced by either a toothed belt or a shaft drive, which offer lower noise level and fewer maintenance requirements.
The great majority of automobile engines use roller chains to drive the camshaft(s). Very high performance engines often use gear drive, and starting in the early 1960s toothed belts were used by some manufacturers.
Chains are also used in forklifts using hydraulic rams as a pulley to raise and lower the carriage; however, these chains are not considered roller chains, but are classified as lift or leaf chains.
Chainsaw cutting chains superficially resemble roller chains but are more closely related to leaf chains. They are driven by projecting drive links which also serve to locate the chain CHINAMFG the bar.

A perhaps unusual use of a pair of motorcycle chains is in the Harrier Jump Jet, where a chain drive from an air motor is used to rotate the movable engine nozzles, allowing them to be pointed downwards for hovering flight, or to the rear for normal CHINAMFG flight, a system known as Thrust vectoring.
WEAR
The effect of wear on a roller chain is to increase the pitch (spacing of the links), causing the chain to grow longer. Note that this is due to wear at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from actual stretching of the metal (as does happen to some flexible steel components such as the hand-brake cable of a motor vehicle).
With modern chains it is unusual for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to wear until it breaks, since a worn chain leads to the rapid onset of wear on the teeth of the sprockets, with ultimate failure being the loss of all the teeth on the sprocket. The sprockets (in particular the smaller of the two) suffer a grinding motion that puts a characteristic hook shape into the driven face of the teeth. (This effect is made worse by a chain improperly tensioned, but is unavoidable no matter what care is taken). The worn teeth (and chain) no longer provides smooth transmission of power and this may become evident from the noise, the vibration or (in car engines using a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing seen with a timing light. Both sprockets and chain should be replaced in these cases, since a new chain on worn sprockets will not last long. However, in less severe cases it may be possible to save the larger of the 2 sprockets, since it is always the smaller 1 that suffers the most wear. Only in very light-weight applications such as a bicycle, or in extreme cases of improper tension, will the chain normally jump off the sprockets.
The lengthening due to wear of a chain is calculated by the following formula:
M = the length of a number of links measured
S = the number of links measured
P = Pitch
In industry, it is usual to monitor the movement of the chain tensioner (whether manual or automatic) or the exact length of a drive chain (one rule of thumb is to replace a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable drive or 1.5% on a fixed-center drive). A simpler method, particularly suitable for the cycle or motorcycle user, is to attempt to pull the chain away from the larger of the 2 sprockets, whilst ensuring the chain is taut. Any significant movement (e.g. making it possible to see through a gap) probably indicates a chain worn up to and beyond the limit. Sprocket damage will result if the problem is ignored. Sprocket wear cancels this effect, and may mask chain wear.
CHAIN STRENGTH
The most common measure of roller chain’s strength is tensile strength. Tensile strength represents how much load a chain can withstand under a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile strength is a chain’s fatigue strength. The critical factors in a chain’s fatigue strength is the quality of steel used to manufacture the chain, the heat treatment of the chain components, the quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot plus the intensity of shot peen coverage on the linkplates. Other factors can include the thickness of the linkplates and the design (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous drive is for the chain load to not exceed a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile strength, depending on the type of master links used (press-fit vs. slip-fit)[citation needed]. Roller chains operating on a continuous drive beyond these thresholds can and typically do fail prematurely via linkplate fatigue failure.
The standard minimum ultimate strength of the ANSI 29.1 steel chain is 12,500 x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains greatly decrease wear by means of internal lubricants, increasing chain life. The internal lubrication is inserted by means of a vacuum when riveting the chain together.

Standards organizations (such as ANSI and ISO) maintain standards for design, dimensions, and interchangeability of transmission chains.

For mnemonic purposes, below is another presentation of key dimensions from the same standard, expressed in fractions of an inch (which was part of the thinking behind the choice of preferred numbers in the ANSI standard):
| Pitch (inches) | Pitch expressed in eighths |
ANSI standard chain number |
Width (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1⁄4 | 2⁄8 | 25 | 1⁄8 |
| 3⁄8 | 3⁄8 | 35 | 3⁄16 |
| 1⁄2 | 4⁄8 | 41 | 1⁄4 |
| 1⁄2 | 4⁄8 | 40 | 5⁄16 |
| 5⁄8 | 5⁄8 | 50 | 3⁄8 |
| 3⁄4 | 6⁄8 | 60 | 1⁄2 |
| 1 | 8⁄8 | 80 | 5⁄8 |
Notes:
1. The pitch is the distance between roller centers. The width is the distance between the link plates (i.e. slightly more than the roller width to allow for clearance).
2. The right-hand digit of the standard denotes 0 = normal chain, 1 = lightweight chain, 5 = rollerless bushing chain.
3. The left-hand digit denotes the number of eighths of an inch that make up the pitch.
4. An “H” following the standard number denotes heavyweight chain. A hyphenated number following the standard number denotes double-strand (2), triple-strand (3), and so on. Thus 60H-3 denotes number 60 heavyweight triple-strand chain.
A typical bicycle chain (for derailleur gears) uses narrow 1⁄2-inch-pitch chain. The width of the chain is variable, and does not affect the load capacity. The more sprockets at the rear wheel (historically 3-6, nowadays 7-12 sprockets), the narrower the chain. Chains are sold according to the number of speeds they are designed to work with, for example, “10 speed chain”. Hub gear or single speed bicycles use 1/2″ x 1/8″ chains, where 1/8″ refers to the maximum thickness of a sprocket that can be used with the chain.
Typically chains with parallel shaped links have an even number of links, with each narrow link followed by a broad one. Chains built up with a uniform type of link, narrow at 1 and broad at the other end, can be made with an odd number of links, which can be an advantage to adapt to a special chainwheel-distance; on the other side such a chain tends to be not so strong.
Roller chains made using ISO standard are sometimes called as isochains.

Can car parking chains be integrated with access control systems, such as key cards or remote controls?
Yes, car parking chains can be integrated with access control systems, allowing for more efficient and convenient vehicle access in parking facilities. Integration with access control systems offers several benefits:
1. Key Cards: Parking chains can be linked to electronic access control systems that use key cards or RFID tags. Authorized users are provided with key cards that they can swipe or tap at the entrance to raise the chain, granting them access to the parking area.
2. Remote Controls: In automated parking chains, remote controls can be used to raise or lower the chains. This is particularly useful for parking attendants or personnel who can remotely manage vehicle access from a central location, reducing the need for physical presence at the entrance.
3. Electronic Passes: Some parking facilities issue electronic passes to authorized users. These passes can be read by sensors at the entrance, automatically raising the chain to allow access without the need for manual operation.
4. License Plate Recognition: Advanced access control systems may use license plate recognition technology to automatically identify and grant access to pre-registered vehicles as they approach the entrance, eliminating the need for physical cards or passes.
5. Time-Based Access: Access control systems can be configured to grant access only during specific times or days. This is particularly useful for parking facilities with restricted access hours or reserved parking spaces for certain users.
6. Enhanced Security: Integration with access control systems improves security by ensuring that only authorized vehicles can enter the parking area, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or parking violations.
7. Efficient Traffic Management: Automated access control systems can process vehicles more quickly, reducing waiting times and traffic congestion at the entrance during peak hours.
By integrating car parking chains with access control systems, parking facilities can enhance security, improve user experience, and efficiently manage vehicle access, making it a popular choice for modern parking facilities.
How do I choose the right car parking chain for my parking facility based on traffic volume and vehicle types?
Choosing the right car parking chain for your parking facility involves considering the traffic volume and types of vehicles that will use the facility. Here are the key factors to consider:
1. Traffic Volume:
– For high-traffic areas with a significant number of vehicles entering and exiting frequently, consider a durable and heavy-duty parking chain made from materials like steel or stainless steel. These materials can withstand the wear and tear associated with frequent use.
– For low-traffic areas or temporary parking setups, lighter materials like plastic or PVC chains may be suitable as they are more cost-effective.
2. Vehicle Types:
– For standard passenger cars and small vehicles, most parking chains should be sufficient. However, consider the length of the chain to accommodate wider entry points.
– For larger vehicles, such as trucks or buses, ensure that the parking chain is robust enough to support their weight and size. Opt for heavy-duty chains with thicker links and higher load-bearing capacity.
3. Manual vs. Automatic:
– Manual parking chains operated by attendants may be suitable for smaller parking facilities with moderate traffic. They offer a cost-effective and simple access control solution.
– Automatic parking chains integrated with electronic access control systems are more suitable for larger parking facilities or those with high traffic volume. They provide faster and more efficient access control, minimizing waiting times.
4. Customization:
– Consider whether you require customized parking chains to fit specific dimensions or to align with the overall aesthetic of the parking facility.
5. Environmental Factors:
– For outdoor parking facilities exposed to harsh weather conditions, opt for materials that offer good corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel or aluminum.
6. Budget:
– Determine the budget available for the parking chains, considering both the initial investment and long-term maintenance costs.
7. Compliance:
– Ensure that the chosen parking chains comply with local regulations and accessibility requirements to provide a safe and accessible parking environment.
By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select the most appropriate car parking chain that aligns with your parking facility’s specific needs, ensuring efficient access control and a positive user experience for all vehicle types and traffic volumes.
How do car parking chains enhance security and prevent unauthorized access to parking areas?
Car parking chains serve as a physical barrier and play a crucial role in enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access to parking areas. Here’s how they achieve this:
1. Physical Deterrent: The presence of a chain across the entrance acts as a visual deterrent, dissuading unauthorized vehicles from attempting to enter the parking area. It signals that the area is controlled and restricted to authorized personnel only.
2. Controlled Access: Parking chains are manually operated or integrated with electronic access control systems. Only authorized users with the appropriate credentials, such as a key, keycard, or remote control, can raise or lower the chain to gain access.
3. Preventing Tailgating: In manual systems, parking attendants can visually verify each vehicle’s authorization before allowing entry. In automatic systems, the access control technology ensures that only one vehicle is allowed to pass at a time, preventing unauthorized vehicles from tailgating behind an authorized one.
4. Flexible Access Control: Some parking chains can be integrated with electronic access control systems that allow for fine-grained control. This includes time-based access permissions or specific access rights for different user groups, enhancing security measures.
5. Cost-Effective Security: Compared to more advanced access control systems like automated gates or barrier arms, parking chains offer a cost-effective security solution, making them suitable for various parking facilities.
6. Reducing Vehicle Theft: By restricting access to only authorized vehicles, parking chains reduce the risk of theft or unauthorized use of parked vehicles.
7. Minimizing Traffic Violations: Parking chains prevent unauthorized parking, reducing instances of illegal parking or traffic violations within the parking area.
8. Additional Security Measures: Parking chains can be complemented with other security features like surveillance cameras, lighting, and manned security personnel, creating a comprehensive security strategy for the parking facility.
In summary, car parking chains provide a simple yet effective method to control access, enhance security, and prevent unauthorized entry into parking areas, ensuring a safer and more controlled environment for vehicles and users.

ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. It consists of a series of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links. It is driven by a toothed wheel called a sprocket. It is a simple, reliable, and efficient means of power transmission.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAIN
Two different sizes of roller chain, showing construction.
There are 2 types of links alternating in the bush roller chain. The first type is inner links, having 2 inner plates held together by 2 sleeves or bushings CZPT which rotate 2 rollers. Inner links alternate with the second type, the outer links, consisting of 2 outer plates held together by pins passing through the bushings of the inner links. The “bushingless” roller chain is similar in operation though not in construction; instead of separate bushings or sleeves holding the inner plates together, the plate has a tube stamped into it protruding from the hole which serves the same purpose. This has the advantage of removing 1 step in assembly of the chain.
The roller chain design reduces friction compared to simpler designs, resulting in higher efficiency and less wear. The original power transmission chain varieties lacked rollers and bushings, with both the inner and outer plates held by pins which directly contacted the sprocket teeth; however this configuration exhibited extremely rapid wear of both the sprocket teeth, and the plates where they pivoted on the pins. This problem was partially solved by the development of bushed chains, with the pins holding the outer plates passing through bushings or sleeves connecting the inner plates. This distributed the wear over a greater area; however the teeth of the sprockets still wore more rapidly than is desirable, from the sliding friction against the bushings. The addition of rollers surrounding the bushing sleeves of the chain and provided rolling contact with the teeth of the sprockets resulting in excellent resistance to wear of both sprockets and chain as well. There is even very low friction, as long as the chain is sufficiently lubricated. Continuous, clean, lubrication of roller chains is of primary importance for efficient operation as well as correct tensioning.
LUBRICATION
Many driving chains (for example, in factory equipment, or driving a camshaft inside an internal combustion engine) operate in clean environments, and thus the wearing surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are safe from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment such as an oil bath. Some roller chains are designed to have o-rings built into the space between the outside link plate and the inside roller link plates. Chain manufacturers began to include this feature in 1971 after the application was invented by Joseph Montano while working for Whitney Chain of Hartford, Connecticut. O-rings were included as a way to improve lubrication to the links of power transmission chains, a service that is vitally important to extending their working life. These rubber fixtures form a barrier that holds factory applied lubricating grease inside the pin and bushing wear areas. Further, the rubber o-rings prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering inside the chain linkages, where such particles would otherwise cause significant wear.[citation needed]
There are also many chains that have to operate in dirty conditions, and for size or operational reasons cannot be sealed. Examples include chains on farm equipment, bicycles, and chain saws. These chains will necessarily have relatively high rates of wear, particularly when the operators are prepared to accept more friction, less efficiency, more noise and more frequent replacement as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
Many oil-based lubricants attract dirt and other particles, eventually forming an CZPT paste that will compound wear on chains. This problem can be circumvented by use of a “dry” PTFE spray, which forms a solid film after application and repels both particles and moisture.
VARIANTS DESIGN
Layout of a roller chain: 1. Outer plate, 2. Inner plate, 3. Pin, 4. Bushing, 5. Roller
If the chain is not being used for a high wear application (for instance if it is just transmitting motion from a hand-operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding door on an oven), then 1 of the simpler types of chain may still be used. Conversely, where extra strength but the smooth drive of a smaller pitch is required, the chain may be “siamesed”; instead of just 2 rows of plates on the outer sides of the chain, there may be 3 (“duplex”), 4 (“triplex”), or more rows of plates running parallel, with bushings and rollers between each adjacent pair, and the same number of rows of teeth running in parallel on the sprockets to match. Timing chains on automotive engines, for example, typically have multiple rows of plates called strands.
Roller chain is made in several sizes, the most common American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards being 40, 50, 60, and 80. The first digit(s) indicate the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the last digit being 0 for standard chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers. Thus, a chain with half-inch pitch would be a #40 while a #160 sprocket would have teeth spaced 2 inches apart, etc. Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch; thus a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equivalent to an ANSI #40. Most roller chain is made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but stainless steel is used in food processing machinery or other places where lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally seen for the same reason.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master link (also known as a connecting link), which typically has 1 pin held by a horseshoe clip rather than friction fit, allowing it to be inserted or removed with simple tools. Chain with a removable link or pin is also known as cottered chain, which allows the length of the chain to be adjusted. Half links (also known as offsets) are available and are used to increase the length of the chain by a single roller. Riveted roller chain has the master link (also known as a connecting link) “riveted” or mashed on the ends. These pins are made to be durable and are not removable.
USE
An example of 2 ‘ghost’ sprockets tensioning a triplex roller chain system
Roller chains are used in low- to mid-speed drives at around 600 to 800 feet per minute; however, at higher speeds, around 2,000 to 3,000 feet per minute, V-belts are normally used due to wear and noise issues.
A bicycle chain is a form of roller chain. Bicycle chains may have a master link, or may require a chain tool for removal and installation. A similar but larger and thus stronger chain is used on most motorcycles although it is sometimes replaced by either a toothed belt or a shaft drive, which offer lower noise level and fewer maintenance requirements.
The great majority of automobile engines use roller chains to drive the camshaft(s). Very high performance engines often use gear drive, and starting in the early 1960s toothed belts were used by some manufacturers.
Chains are also used in forklifts using hydraulic rams as a pulley to raise and lower the carriage; however, these chains are not considered roller chains, but are classified as lift or leaf chains.
Chainsaw cutting chains superficially resemble roller chains but are more closely related to leaf chains. They are driven by projecting drive links which also serve to locate the chain CZPT the bar.

A perhaps unusual use of a pair of motorcycle chains is in the Harrier Jump Jet, where a chain drive from an air motor is used to rotate the movable engine nozzles, allowing them to be pointed downwards for hovering flight, or to the rear for normal CZPT flight, a system known as Thrust vectoring.
WEAR
The effect of wear on a roller chain is to increase the pitch (spacing of the links), causing the chain to grow longer. Note that this is due to wear at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from actual stretching of the metal (as does happen to some flexible steel components such as the hand-brake cable of a motor vehicle).
With modern chains it is unusual for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to wear until it breaks, since a worn chain leads to the rapid onset of wear on the teeth of the sprockets, with ultimate failure being the loss of all the teeth on the sprocket. The sprockets (in particular the smaller of the two) suffer a grinding motion that puts a characteristic hook shape into the driven face of the teeth. (This effect is made worse by a chain improperly tensioned, but is unavoidable no matter what care is taken). The worn teeth (and chain) no longer provides smooth transmission of power and this may become evident from the noise, the vibration or (in car engines using a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing seen with a timing light. Both sprockets and chain should be replaced in these cases, since a new chain on worn sprockets will not last long. However, in less severe cases it may be possible to save the larger of the 2 sprockets, since it is always the smaller 1 that suffers the most wear. Only in very light-weight applications such as a bicycle, or in extreme cases of improper tension, will the chain normally jump off the sprockets.
The lengthening due to wear of a chain is calculated by the following formula:
M = the length of a number of links measured
S = the number of links measured
P = Pitch
In industry, it is usual to monitor the movement of the chain tensioner (whether manual or automatic) or the exact length of a drive chain (one rule of thumb is to replace a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable drive or 1.5% on a fixed-center drive). A simpler method, particularly suitable for the cycle or motorcycle user, is to attempt to pull the chain away from the larger of the 2 sprockets, whilst ensuring the chain is taut. Any significant movement (e.g. making it possible to see through a gap) probably indicates a chain worn up to and beyond the limit. Sprocket damage will result if the problem is ignored. Sprocket wear cancels this effect, and may mask chain wear.
CHAIN STRENGTH
The most common measure of roller chain’s strength is tensile strength. Tensile strength represents how much load a chain can withstand under a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile strength is a chain’s fatigue strength. The critical factors in a chain’s fatigue strength is the quality of steel used to manufacture the chain, the heat treatment of the chain components, the quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot plus the intensity of shot peen coverage on the linkplates. Other factors can include the thickness of the linkplates and the design (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous drive is for the chain load to not exceed a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile strength, depending on the type of master links used (press-fit vs. slip-fit)[citation needed]. Roller chains operating on a continuous drive beyond these thresholds can and typically do fail prematurely via linkplate fatigue failure.
The standard minimum ultimate strength of the ANSI 29.1 steel chain is 12,500 x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains greatly decrease wear by means of internal lubricants, increasing chain life. The internal lubrication is inserted by means of a vacuum when riveting the chain together.
CHAIN STHangZhouRDS
Standards organizations (such as ANSI and ISO) maintain standards for design, dimensions, and interchangeability of transmission chains. For example, the following Table shows data from ANSI standard B29.1-2011 (Precision Power Transmission Roller Chains, Attachments, and Sprockets) developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). See the references[8][9][10] for additional information.

4. An “H” following the standard number denotes heavyweight chain. A hyphenated number following the standard number denotes double-strand (2), triple-strand (3), and so on. Thus 60H-3 denotes number 60 heavyweight triple-strand chain.
A typical bicycle chain (for derailleur gears) uses narrow 1⁄2-inch-pitch chain. The width of the chain is variable, and does not affect the load capacity. The more sprockets at the rear wheel (historically 3-6, nowadays 7-12 sprockets), the narrower the chain. Chains are sold according to the number of speeds they are designed to work with, for example, “10 speed chain”. Hub gear or single speed bicycles use 1/2″ x 1/8″ chains, where 1/8″ refers to the maximum thickness of a sprocket that can be used with the chain.
Typically chains with parallel shaped links have an even number of links, with each narrow link followed by a broad one. Chains built up with a uniform type of link, narrow at 1 and broad at the other end, can be made with an odd number of links, which can be an advantage to adapt to a special chainwheel-distance; on the other side such a chain tends to be not so strong.
Roller chains made using ISO standard are sometimes called as isochains.

Can car parking chains be integrated with access control systems, such as key cards or remote controls?
Yes, car parking chains can be integrated with access control systems, allowing for more efficient and convenient vehicle access in parking facilities. Integration with access control systems offers several benefits:
1. Key Cards: Parking chains can be linked to electronic access control systems that use key cards or RFID tags. Authorized users are provided with key cards that they can swipe or tap at the entrance to raise the chain, granting them access to the parking area.
2. Remote Controls: In automated parking chains, remote controls can be used to raise or lower the chains. This is particularly useful for parking attendants or personnel who can remotely manage vehicle access from a central location, reducing the need for physical presence at the entrance.
3. Electronic Passes: Some parking facilities issue electronic passes to authorized users. These passes can be read by sensors at the entrance, automatically raising the chain to allow access without the need for manual operation.
4. License Plate Recognition: Advanced access control systems may use license plate recognition technology to automatically identify and grant access to pre-registered vehicles as they approach the entrance, eliminating the need for physical cards or passes.
5. Time-Based Access: Access control systems can be configured to grant access only during specific times or days. This is particularly useful for parking facilities with restricted access hours or reserved parking spaces for certain users.
6. Enhanced Security: Integration with access control systems improves security by ensuring that only authorized vehicles can enter the parking area, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or parking violations.
7. Efficient Traffic Management: Automated access control systems can process vehicles more quickly, reducing waiting times and traffic congestion at the entrance during peak hours.
By integrating car parking chains with access control systems, parking facilities can enhance security, improve user experience, and efficiently manage vehicle access, making it a popular choice for modern parking facilities.
What materials are commonly used to manufacture car parking chains, and how do they affect durability and performance?
Car parking chains are typically manufactured using various materials, and the choice of material can significantly impact the durability and performance of the chains. The most common materials used include:
1. Steel: Steel is the most prevalent material for parking chains due to its high strength and durability. It can withstand heavy loads and resist wear and tear, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Steel chains are often coated or galvanized to enhance their corrosion resistance and extend their lifespan.
2. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel chains offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for parking areas in coastal or high-humidity environments. They are less prone to rust and maintain their appearance over time.
3. Plastic or PVC: Plastic or PVC chains are lightweight and cost-effective alternatives to metal chains. While they may not be as strong as steel, they are suitable for low-traffic areas and temporary parking setups. However, they may be less durable and require more frequent replacement compared to metal chains.
4. Brass: Brass chains are sometimes used for their aesthetic appeal, as they have a distinct gold-like appearance. However, they are not as commonly used as steel or stainless steel due to their higher cost and lower strength.
5. Aluminum: Aluminum chains are lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use. However, they are not as strong as steel or stainless steel, and their use is often limited to less demanding applications.
The choice of material depends on several factors, including the intended usage, environmental conditions, budget constraints, and aesthetic preferences. Steel and stainless steel are the most popular choices for parking chains as they offer a good balance of strength, durability, and resistance to various weather conditions. Plastic or PVC chains are more suitable for temporary setups or situations where cost is a primary concern.
Regular maintenance and proper care, regardless of the material used, will also contribute to the longevity and performance of car parking chains. Periodic inspections, lubrication, and prompt repair of any damage are essential to ensure the chains function effectively and provide reliable access control in parking facilities.
What is a car parking chain, and how is it used in parking facilities and garages?
A car parking chain is a mechanical barrier used in parking facilities and garages to control vehicle access and prevent unauthorized entry. It consists of a sturdy metal chain suspended across the entrance or exit of a parking area.
The chain is connected to two sturdy posts or walls on either side of the entrance. When lowered, the chain obstructs the passage of vehicles, restricting their entry or exit. Conversely, when lifted, it allows authorized vehicles to pass through.
Parking chains are commonly used in places where a more sophisticated access control system like a gate or a barrier arm may not be necessary. They offer a simple and cost-effective solution for managing vehicle flow.
Typically, parking facility attendants or authorized personnel are responsible for controlling the car parking chain. They manually raise and lower the chain using a key or a specialized lock system.
In some cases, modern parking chains may be automated and integrated with access control systems. This can include keycard readers, electronic passes, or even remote-controlled mechanisms, making it more convenient for authorized users to enter and exit the parking area.
Overall, car parking chains serve as a physical deterrent to prevent unauthorized access and ensure better control over vehicle movement in parking facilities and garages.

What to look for in a roller chain
There are many different factors to consider when purchasing a roller chain. One of the most important factors is tensile strength, which represents the force required to break the chain. Roller chains are available in three different tensile strengths: minimum, average and ultimate. Each strength reflects a different limit to the load the chain can handle. However, these limits are not always equal and you should be aware of the differences between roller chains.
Canonical chain
Most roller chains have standard sizes printed on the side panels. This is usually “40” or “C2080H”, but can also be the letter “B”. If the chain is old, it will need to be cleaned to see its size. You can find the size on the standard roller chain size chart, but not everyone is marked. To determine the size, measure the diameter and pitch of the chain, then compare the results to the chart to see what size you need.
Heavy-duty roller chains are available with heat-treated pins, side plates, and rollers. In addition to being heat treated, they are also factory pre-stretched, which reduces wear on these parts. If properly maintained, they can last for years, reducing the risk of failure or corrosion. Depending on the application, standard roller chains are available in different sizes. It can be purchased separately. There are several options to choose from, depending on the size and strength of the application.
PEER roller chains contain solid rollers to reduce shock loads on the sprocket teeth. Heat treating and preloading all components of the PEER chain helps minimize initial elongation. Hot-dip lubrication ensures complete lubrication of all chain components, extending their life and reducing maintenance costs. For heavy-duty applications, ASME/ANSI-B29.1 chain is a good choice.
Standard roller chains are made of steel or alloy steel. However, it can be made of other materials such as stainless steel. In addition to steel, stainless steel is often used in food processing machinery where chain lubrication is an issue. Brass and nylon are also sometimes used. However, they are not that popular. Therefore, you should always check with your supplier before purchasing. By comparing the tensile strength of two different chains and making an informed decision, you can get the best price and service.
Chain without bushing
Bushless roller chains have advantages over conventional roller chains. Unlike conventional chains, bushless chains have extensive lateral flexibility, which increases the chain’s lubrication flow. The inner plates of bushless chains have protruding shoulders so the oil can flow through them more easily and efficiently. This is an important characteristic of a smooth-running chain. Additionally, bushless chains may have improved shifting performance.
The strength of a bushingless roller chain is measured in terms of tensile strength and fatigue strength. The former measures the load a chain can withstand before breaking. Fatigue strength is equally important, and factors that affect fatigue strength include the steel used to make the chain components, the pitch hole fabrication, the type of shot peening on the chain, and the design and thickness of the chain. For example, if the chain is too thin, it may not be enough for heavy-duty applications.
Like traditional roller chains, bushingless roller chains have two different types of links. The inner link has two inner plates connected by pins, while the outer chain has two outer plates held together by bushings. A bushingless roller chain is similar to a traditional chain, except it eliminates a step in the assembly process by stamping the tube into the inner plate. So if you want a smoother ride, a bushingless roller chain is a better choice.
There are two different sizes of bushingless roller chains. One size is designed for use with standard single-strand chains, while the other size is designed for use with double-strand or triple-strand chains. Bushless chains are generally shorter than conventional chains, so they can fit in tighter spaces. Bushless chains are made of the highest quality materials. These chain attachments are case hardened for optimum strength and durability.
Mute chain
The silent roller chain has a smooth, low-noise drive. They are made of stacked rows of flat chainplates with a gear-like profile that meshes with the sprocket teeth. Each chainplate is attached to a corresponding sprocket, which also allows the chain to bend. While these basic components are the same for every silent roller chain, there are many variations that allow them to be used in a variety of applications.
The most popular high-speed transmission, silent chains feature gear-like sprockets. They can be made from single or multiple strands of material. Single-strand chains are less expensive than multi-strand chains, but they tend to wear out faster if not lubricated. Single-strand roller chains can be used for years without lubrication, but for your application, wide silent chains are still worth considering.
The design and construction of silent chains make them ideal for conveying a wide variety of products. They have flat, heat-resistant surfaces. They are also durable and non-slip. They are available in a variety of pitch sizes, widths, and mounting styles. Whether you need chains for general purpose conveyors or glass bottle transport applications, we have you covered. Ask about the benefits of silent roller chain conveyors.
Inverted tooth chains are another option for quieter chains. These chains are designed to reduce noise from engine-related friction. Silent chains are more common, and manufacturers have fallen in love with them. A silent chain consists of several links connected to the sprocket teeth. Teeth rotate to reduce noise, vibration, and chord action. These are the main reasons why silent chains are so popular.
ANSI chain pitch
To measure your bike’s chain pitch, you can use a caliper. This measurement is taken from the center of the rolling pin to the center of the next rolling pin. Chains come in many sizes, but ANSI is the most common chain standard in the United States. A caliper is handy if you’re not sure which size to buy, as it allows you to check for worn sprockets.
Chains that meet ANSI standards will be characterized by a certain pitch. This measurement is based on the width and spacing of the roll. The spacing is usually greater than the width. The standard number will be the right number for the width of the chain or the left number for the rollers. The number on the left indicates whether the chain is lightweight or heavyweight. Heavyweight chains are designated by the suffix “H”.
Common chain sizes are based on ANSI chain pitch. Pitch is the minimum distance between bushing and sprocket. The smaller the chain pitch, the greater the total distance between the two points. This means the chain will last longer. However, if you are buying a chain for a specific application, you should check the pitch carefully as it can affect the performance of the chain.
Roller chain wear measurement
The purpose of roller chain wear measurement is to prevent breakage by monitoring the strain on the chain. There are several ways to measure roller chain wear. The first is to remove the chain from its working position and measure the distance from the sprocket to its measuring end. Another way is to measure the pitch of the chain or the distance between two pins. This method is superior to other methods because it is convenient and accurate.
When measuring the wear of a roller chain, it is important to note that the elements of the chain will gradually deform. About 3.75% of the total wear will be on the pins and the rest will be on the internal links. These wear measurements will vary based on the nominal pitch of the chain and the amount of friction the chain is experiencing. Proper lubrication between pins and bushings, load and frequency of articulation all affect wear rates.
It is important to measure the amount of wear on the roller chain to avoid excessive machine failures. The longer the chain runs, the more wear it will wear. Although the length of the chain should be less than the center distance, the excessive load will cause premature wear. Therefore, lubrication is essential. Additionally, the sag of the chain should not exceed 2% to 4% of its center-to-center distance. Finally, check for unusual noise or visible defects. A common cause of excessive roller chain wear is the size of the load. Every chain manufacturer sets a maximum workload for its product.
There are several ways to measure roller chain wear. If using a high-speed drive, it should have at least 11 teeth, and a medium-speed drive should have at least 25 teeth. Also, be sure to check the length of the chain, even if you should. The same goes for the pin diameter, which should be the same or different pitch as the roller chain.

What is a roller chain?
What is a roller chain? A roller chain is a transmission system that transmits power from one shaft to another. Internal lubricant helps chains last longer and are interchangeable. Chains are usually made of carbon or alloy steel. Stainless steel is sometimes used in food processing machinery or in environments where lubrication is problematic. Brass and nylon are also sometimes used. If you need to slow down the machine, nylon chains can be used.
Roller chains are used to transmit power from one shaft to another
Generally speaking, the life of a roller chain is limited by three main factors: wear, corrosion, and fatigue. These can be minimized by following some simple guidelines. For optimum performance, the roller chain must be lubricated. Proper lubrication reduces friction and extends product life. Remember that corrosion and wind resistance can adversely affect lubrication, so protect the product properly.
A chain is a mechanical device used to transmit power from one shaft to another. The chain consists of a series of steel plates called bushings. Bushings are attached to the roller chain by pins or bushings. The block and bushing are held together by pins or bushings C riveted to the outer link D. The chain is also attached to the sprocket and bucket by pins or hooks. Chain pitch is measured between hinge centers, usually denoted p.
There are three types of chains: single-strand standard series, multi-strand standard series, and silent chain. Single strand chains are the most common type and cover a wide range of drive loads. Multi-strand chains provide greater power capacity without increasing chain pitch or line speed. An inverted tooth chain is a variant of a single-strand chain that eliminates the noise caused by pitch-related friction.
The inner and outer plates of the roller chain drive are made of steel. The rollers are positioned evenly between the chain links and are fastened to the sprockets. In addition, the rollers can rotate freely within the bushing. The chain links are arc-shaped and mesh with the sprocket teeth to transmit power through the chain.
Chain drives are another common way of transmitting mechanical power. These are the simplest forms of power transmission and are used on conveyor belts and other low-speed applications. The chain wraps around the sprocket and passes through the sprocket whose teeth mesh with the links. This mechanism transfers mechanical power from one shaft to another, increasing speed.
They are interchangeable
There are many different types of roller chains, but most are made of steel. Although they have their own advantages and features, they are generally interchangeable. You can buy different kinds of roller chains from domestic and foreign manufacturers, and you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Bearing Services can help you choose the right bearing for your application needs and budget. Here are some important things to consider before buying a roller chain. Here are some tips to make it easier for you to buy the right type of chain.
When choosing the right roller chain, be sure to consult the available size charts. Depends on how much chain you need to move the load you need to move. Remember that roller chains can be manufactured to fit a variety of machines and must meet your specific needs. Also, the chain should be long enough for the machine you are using. Make sure to buy a chain made of high-quality materials.
Double pitch roller chains have a flat top surface and are used in many different conveying applications. Double-pitch load-carrying roller chains, also known as oversized roller double-pitch chains, have rollers that extend beyond the sidebars to carry products. Double pitch drive series roller chains are used in elevators, long conveyor drives, agricultural machinery, and commercial sprinkler systems.
The tensile strength of a roller chain is a key factor to consider before purchasing a chain. The tensile strength of a chain is a function of the maximum force the chain can withstand before breaking. The three different types of tensile strength represent the force a chain can withstand without breaking. Each chain also has different strengths that can determine the type of chain you need.
The outer and inner links of the roller chain are designed for bearings. This allows the chain to be paired or unpaired with its internal links. The outer link has a pin, and the inner and outer pins are press-fit into the connecting plate. These links are usually made of steel and have a tensile strength of about 20 times their weight. The fatigue strength of two-pitch offset links is the same as that of the base chain.
They reduce wear with internal lubricants
In a roller chain, the pins and bushings rotate inside the chain without lubricant on the outside. They are in contact with the teeth of the sprocket and can easily wear out if not lubricated. The plates that connect the links and pivot about the pins can also rub against each other and cause wear. This is where lubricants come in handy. Without lubricant, the bare metal of the plate and bushing would rub against each other.
The lubricant should have the appropriate viscosity to penetrate critical internal surfaces and form an effective oil film. Recommended viscosities are listed in Table 1. Lubricants must be clean and non-corrosive. For roller chains, a good quality non-clean petroleum base oil is sufficient. While defoamers are not required, other additives such as antioxidants and extreme pressure inhibitors may be useful. However, impure oils should be avoided due to the risk of damage.
The shape of the spray head 10 overlaps with a conventional drive chain 12. The drive chain includes a plurality of rollers 24 and roller link plates 26. Each roller includes a roller pin 29 and is connected to a pair of pin link plates 28. Most drive chains have critical wear points on the sides of the roller pins 29. The shape of the spray head 10 prevents overspray onto the central portion of the roller.
In addition to preventing wear, these chains have unique specifications. Manufacturer CZPT requires raw material suppliers to certify that their products meet standards set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). CZPTs do not accept uncertified raw materials. For safety, the machine must be turned off before attempting to measure the chain. After the system is shut down, the measurement process should be completed in accordance with safety procedures.
General spray oil has lubricating properties, but is not as good as other types of chain lubricants. These are typically used for rust protection and include antioxidant chemicals. Generally, they are inexpensive and widely available in retail stores. However, they have the disadvantage of being very penetrating and difficult to apply evenly. Oil cannot stay on the chain as it spins, which can accelerate wear and corrosion.
They can be used to speed up or slow down machines
Typically, roller chains are chains used to move mechanical system components. Unlike belts, roller chains can be used to speed up or slow down a machine. The main difference between belts and roller chains is the lubrication process. Belts use lubrication to help them move at a constant speed, but should not exceed the critical speed of the roller chain. This critical speed is not easy to determine and lubrication is critical to its life.
A roller chain is a chain consisting of a steel bushing that holds the inner plate A and pins C together. Pin C is riveted to outer link D, while roller R surrounds each bushing B. The teeth of the sprocket are supported on the rollers. They spin freely on pins and bushings, reducing friction.
The chains can be single-stranded, double-stranded, or multi-stranded. The rated power capacity of the single strand chain can meet various drive load requirements. Multi-strand chains provide higher power capacity without increasing chain pitch or line speed. The silent chain, also known as the inverted tooth chain, consists of a series of toothed chainplates. The pins of the chain are pressed into the wide ends of the sidebars and outer links.
Although roller chains are a common mechanical component, they can fail under certain conditions. The most common cause of excessive wear is wrong to load sizing. Each manufacturer sets a maximum workload for its product. A chain that is too small for the load carried will not run smoothly and may cause premature failure. Chains can also fail due to rust or improper maintenance.
There are many ways to choose the correct size roller chain. The easiest way to choose the right one is to use a horsepower chart to determine the speed of the motor. RPM will determine the size of the chain and the number of teeth on the drive sprocket. Conveyor chains offer a variety of options to move products horizontally or vertically, even around bend radii.

ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the sort of chain drive most commonly utilized for transmission of mechanical electrical power on several varieties of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, which includes conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing devices, printing presses, cars, bikes, and bicycles. It is composed of a series of short cylindrical rollers held collectively by aspect back links. It is driven by a toothed wheel known as a sprocket. It is a simple, reputable, and efficient indicates of electrical power transmission.
Development OF THE CHAIN
Two different dimensions of roller chain, displaying building.
There are 2 varieties of back links alternating in the bush roller chain. The initial type is inner hyperlinks, getting 2 internal plates held with each other by 2 sleeves or bushings upon which rotate 2 rollers. Inner hyperlinks alternate with the 2nd variety, the outer back links, consisting of 2 outer plates held jointly by pins passing through the bushings of the inner hyperlinks. The “bushingless” roller chain is related in operation although not in design instead of independent bushings or sleeves keeping the interior plates with each other, the plate has a tube stamped into it protruding from the hole which serves the same goal. This has the benefit of taking away 1 phase in assembly of the chain.
The roller chain design and style decreases friction in comparison to easier designs, ensuing in increased performance and considerably less put on. The unique electrical power transmission chain varieties lacked rollers and bushings, with the two the interior and outer plates held by pins which straight contacted the sprocket teeth however this configuration exhibited incredibly rapid use of each the sprocket teeth, and the plates exactly where they pivoted on the pins. This issue was partially solved by the improvement of bushed chains, with the pins holding the outer plates passing via bushings or sleeves connecting the internal plates. This distributed the dress in over a greater area however the teeth of the sprockets still wore far more swiftly than is desirable, from the sliding friction against the bushings. The addition of rollers encompassing the bushing sleeves of the chain and presented rolling speak to with the enamel of the sprockets resulting in outstanding resistance to put on of equally sprockets and chain as effectively. There is even extremely lower friction, as lengthy as the chain is sufficiently lubricated. Continuous, clean, lubrication of roller chains is of principal value for productive procedure as well as correct tensioning.
LUBRICATION
Many driving chains (for illustration, in factory equipment, or driving a camshaft inside of an interior combustion engine) operate in thoroughly clean environments, and therefore the donning surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are secure from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment this kind of as an oil bath. Some roller chains are made to have o-rings built into the room among the outside url plate and the within roller hyperlink plates. Chain companies started to include this function in 1971 following the software was invented by Joseph Montano although working for Whitney Chain of Hartford, Connecticut. O-rings ended up provided as a way to increase lubrication to the links of electrical power transmission chains, a service that is vitally crucial to extending their functioning life. These rubber fixtures type a barrier that retains manufacturing unit used lubricating grease inside the pin and bushing wear areas. Even more, the rubber o-rings stop dirt and other contaminants from entering inside the chain linkages, the place such particles would in any other case lead to substantial put on.[quotation required]
There are also a lot of chains that have to work in dirty circumstances, and for size or operational reasons cannot be sealed. Examples consist of chains on farm tools, bicycles, and chain saws. These chains will necessarily have comparatively large costs of put on, especially when the operators are geared up to acknowledge a lot more friction, much less effectiveness, more noise and much more recurrent CZPT as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
Numerous oil-based mostly lubricants attract dirt and other particles, at some point forming an CZPT paste that will compound dress in on chains. This difficulty can be circumvented by use of a “dry” PTFE spray, which varieties a solid film following application and repels both particles and humidity.

If the chain is not currently being utilized for a high dress in application (for instance if it is just transmitting movement from a hand-operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding doorway on an oven), then 1 of the simpler kinds of chain may nonetheless be utilized. Conversely, exactly where additional strength but the easy generate of a smaller pitch is required, the chain may possibly be “siamesed” rather of just 2 rows of plates on the outer sides of the chain, there may possibly be 3 (“duplex”), 4 (“triplex”), or much more rows of plates working parallel, with bushings and rollers between every adjacent pair, and the very same amount of rows of enamel running in parallel on the sprockets to match. Timing chains on automotive engines, for illustration, usually have numerous rows of plates called strands.
Roller chain is manufactured in many sizes, the most typical American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards being 40, fifty, sixty, and 80. The 1st digit(s) reveal the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the very last digit getting 0 for regular chain, 1 for light-weight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers. Thus, a chain with 50 percent-inch pitch would be a #40 even though a #one hundred sixty sprocket would have teeth spaced 2 inches aside, and so forth. Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch therefore a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equal to an ANSI #forty. Most roller chain is manufactured from basic carbon or alloy metal, but stainless metal is employed in foodstuff processing equipment or other locations the place lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally seen for the identical cause.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master url (also known as a connecting website link), which generally has 1 pin held by a horseshoe clip instead than friction suit, enabling it to be inserted or removed with easy equipment. Chain with a removable url or pin is also identified as cottered chain, which allows the size of the chain to be adjusted. Half links (also acknowledged as offsets) are offered and are employed to increase the size of the chain by a single roller. Riveted roller chain has the grasp link (also identified as a connecting url) “riveted” or mashed on the finishes. These pins are made to be durable and are not detachable.
USE

Roller chains are employed in minimal- to mid-pace drives at close to 600 to 800 toes per moment however, at larger speeds, about 2,000 to 3,000 toes for each moment, V-belts are usually employed due to wear and sounds problems.
A bicycle chain is a form of roller chain. Bicycle chains might have a master url, or may need a chain tool for removal and set up. A similar but larger and hence much better chain is employed on most bikes although it is at times changed by either a toothed belt or a shaft drive, which provide decrease sounds degree and fewer servicing specifications.
The excellent bulk of vehicle engines use roller chains to push the camshaft(s). Quite large performance engines often use equipment travel, and commencing in the early nineteen sixties toothed belts were utilised by some producers.
Chains are also utilised in forklifts using hydraulic rams as a pulley to CZPT and reduce the carriage nevertheless, these chains are not deemed roller chains, but are labeled as elevate or leaf chains.
Chainsaw cutting chains superficially resemble roller chains but are much more closely associated to leaf chains. They are pushed by projecting travel back links which also provide to locate the chain on to the bar.

A perhaps strange use of a pair of motorbike chains is in the Harrier Bounce Jet, the place a chain drive from an air motor is utilised to rotate the movable engine nozzles, making it possible for them to be pointed downwards for hovering flight, or to the rear for regular ahead flight, a system acknowledged as Thrust vectoring.
Dress in
The effect of use on a roller chain is to enhance the pitch (spacing of the links), leading to the chain to grow longer. Notice that this is because of to dress in at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from genuine stretching of the metallic (as does come about to some flexible steel elements these kinds of as the hand-brake cable of a motor car).
With CZPT chains it is abnormal for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to wear until it breaks, given that a worn chain leads to the fast onset of put on on the tooth of the sprockets, with ultimate failure getting the decline of all the teeth on the sprocket. The sprockets (in specific the smaller of the two) endure a grinding motion that puts a characteristic hook condition into the pushed encounter of the enamel. (This effect is manufactured worse by a chain improperly tensioned, but is unavoidable no issue what care is taken). The worn teeth (and chain) no for a longer time offers sleek transmission of electricity and this may turn out to be obvious from the noise, the vibration or (in automobile engines employing a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing observed with a timing mild. Equally sprockets and chain must be changed in these situations, given that a new chain on worn sprockets will not very last prolonged. However, in much less extreme situations it may be feasible to save the bigger of the 2 sprockets, considering that it is often the scaled-down 1 that suffers the most use. Only in very gentle-fat apps such as a bicycle, or in extreme cases of poor tension, will the chain usually leap off the sprockets.
The lengthening because of to use of a chain is calculated by the subsequent system:
M = the length of a number of links calculated
S = the variety of backlinks calculated
P = Pitch
In industry, it is typical to keep track of the movement of the chain tensioner (regardless of whether handbook or automatic) or the specific length of a drive chain (a single rule of thumb is to change a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable travel or 1.5% on a fixed-center generate). A simpler approach, particularly appropriate for the cycle or motorcycle person, is to endeavor to pull the chain away from the more substantial of the 2 sprockets, whilst guaranteeing the chain is taut. Any substantial movement (e.g. creating it feasible to see through a gap) possibly indicates a chain worn up to and past the limit. Sprocket harm will outcome if the dilemma is ignored. Sprocket wear cancels this result, and might mask chain put on.
CHAIN Toughness
The most typical measure of roller chain’s toughness is tensile strength. Tensile strength represents how a lot load a chain can withstand underneath a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile energy is a chain’s fatigue toughness. The critical elements in a chain’s fatigue energy is the quality of metal utilised to manufacture the chain, the warmth treatment method of the chain factors, the top quality of the pitch gap fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot in addition the intensity of shot peen protection on the linkplates. Other variables can incorporate the thickness of the linkplates and the layout (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous push is for the chain load to not CZPT a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile power, relying on the sort of learn backlinks used (push-suit vs. slip-suit)[citation necessary]. Roller chains running on a continuous generate past these thresholds can and normally do are unsuccessful prematurely via linkplate tiredness failure.
The standard minimum ultimate toughness of the ANSI 29.1 metal chain is twelve,500 x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains drastically decrease dress in by implies of interior lubricants, increasing chain lifestyle. The interior lubrication is inserted by implies of a vacuum when riveting the chain collectively.

ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the variety of chain travel most generally used for transmission of mechanical electricity on numerous varieties of domestic, industrial and agricultural equipment, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. It is made up of a series of short cylindrical rollers held with each other by aspect hyperlinks. It is driven by a toothed wheel known as a sprocket. It is a simple, dependable, and successful implies of electrical power transmission.
Design OF THE CHAIN
Two diverse dimensions of roller chain, displaying design.
There are 2 types of backlinks alternating in the bush roller chain. The 1st kind is internal back links, possessing 2 internal plates held with each other by 2 sleeves or bushings upon which rotate 2 rollers. Internal links alternate with the next variety, the outer backlinks, consisting of 2 outer plates held together by pins passing via the bushings of the inner hyperlinks. The “bushingless” roller chain is equivalent in procedure even though not in building instead of different bushings or sleeves holding the internal plates together, the plate has a tube stamped into it protruding from the gap which serves the same goal. This has the advantage of eliminating 1 action in assembly of the chain.
The roller chain style decreases friction in comparison to simpler designs, ensuing in higher efficiency and significantly less put on. The unique electrical power transmission chain kinds lacked rollers and bushings, with both the internal and outer plates held by pins which directly contacted the sprocket enamel nonetheless this configuration exhibited extremely speedy dress in of both the sprocket enamel, and the plates in which they pivoted on the pins. This dilemma was partly solved by the growth of bushed chains, with the pins keeping the outer plates passing through bushings or sleeves connecting the inner plates. This distributed the put on over a greater area however the enamel of the sprockets nonetheless wore a lot more rapidly than is fascinating, from the sliding friction towards the bushings. The addition of rollers encompassing the bushing sleeves of the chain and presented rolling speak to with the tooth of the sprockets ensuing in superb resistance to use of equally sprockets and chain as nicely. There is even extremely reduced friction, as prolonged as the chain is sufficiently lubricated. Continuous, cleanse, lubrication of roller chains is of primary significance for productive operation as effectively as right tensioning.
LUBRICATION
Many driving chains (for instance, in manufacturing facility products, or driving a camshaft within an internal combustion engine) function in thoroughly clean environments, and as a result the donning surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are safe from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment this sort of as an oil bath. Some roller chains are created to have o-rings created into the area in between the exterior hyperlink plate and the within roller hyperlink plates. Chain manufacturers started to include this function in 1971 right after the software was invented by Joseph Montano whilst working for Whitney Chain of Hartford, Connecticut. O-rings were integrated as a way to improve lubrication to the back links of electricity transmission chains, a service that is vitally critical to extending their working existence. These rubber fixtures kind a barrier that holds factory utilized lubricating grease within the pin and bushing dress in regions. Even more, the rubber o-rings avert grime and other contaminants from entering inside of the chain linkages, the place these kinds of particles would or else cause significant use.[citation necessary]
There are also a lot of chains that have to work in filthy circumstances, and for size or operational motives cannot be sealed. Examples consist of chains on farm gear, bicycles, and chain saws. These chains will essentially have fairly large charges of wear, specifically when the operators are well prepared to accept a lot more friction, significantly less performance, more sounds and more regular CZPT as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
Many oil-primarily based lubricants appeal to dust and other particles, ultimately forming an CZPT paste that will compound dress in on chains. This difficulty can be circumvented by use of a “dry” PTFE spray, which varieties a solid movie after software and repels each particles and dampness.
VARIANTS Design
Structure of a roller chain: 1. Outer plate, 2. Inner plate, 3. Pin, 4. Bushing, 5. Roller
If the chain is not getting utilised for a high dress in software (for instance if it is just transmitting movement from a hand-operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding door on an oven), then 1 of the less complicated kinds of chain may nonetheless be utilized. Conversely, in which additional toughness but the sleek travel of a smaller pitch is needed, the chain may possibly be “siamesed” as an alternative of just 2 rows of plates on the outer sides of the chain, there might be 3 (“duplex”), 4 (“triplex”), or more rows of plates managing parallel, with bushings and rollers between every single adjacent pair, and the identical number of rows of teeth operating in parallel on the sprockets to match. Timing chains on automotive engines, for example, normally have several rows of plates referred to as strands.
Roller chain is created in numerous measurements, the most common American Countrywide Expectations Institute (ANSI) requirements getting 40, 50, 60, and eighty. The first digit(s) reveal the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the previous digit being 0 for regular chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers. Thus, a chain with 50 %-inch pitch would be a #forty even though a #one hundred sixty sprocket would have tooth spaced 2 inches aside, etc. Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch as a result a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equivalent to an ANSI #forty. Most roller chain is manufactured from plain carbon or alloy metal, but stainless metal is utilized in foods processing machinery or other spots in which lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally observed for the very same explanation.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master url (also recognized as a connecting link), which generally has 1 pin held by a horseshoe clip relatively than friction fit, permitting it to be inserted or taken out with straightforward tools. Chain with a removable website link or pin is also recognized as cottered chain, which enables the duration of the chain to be altered. 50 % links (also acknowledged as offsets) are available and are utilized to increase the size of the chain by a single roller. Riveted roller chain has the learn url (also known as a connecting url) “riveted” or mashed on the finishes. These pins are manufactured to be tough and are not removable.
USE

Roller chains are utilised in reduced- to mid-velocity drives at around 600 to 800 feet for each moment even so, at greater speeds, about 2,000 to 3,000 toes for each moment, V-belts are generally used because of to put on and sound troubles.
A bicycle chain is a form of roller chain. Bicycle chains might have a master url, or might need a chain tool for removing and installation. A similar but larger and therefore much better chain is employed on most motorcycles even though it is sometimes changed by either a toothed belt or a shaft generate, which offer you reduced sound level and less maintenance requirements.
The great bulk of vehicle engines use roller chains to push the camshaft(s). Quite high performance engines often use gear travel, and starting in the early nineteen sixties toothed belts ended up employed by some makers.
Chains are also utilised in forklifts making use of hydraulic rams as a pulley to CZPT and reduce the carriage even so, these chains are not regarded roller chains, but are categorized as lift or leaf chains.
Chainsaw chopping chains superficially resemble roller chains but are a lot more closely associated to leaf chains. They are driven by projecting drive hyperlinks which also serve to track down the chain onto the bar.

A maybe uncommon use of a pair of bike chains is in the Harrier Soar Jet, the place a chain push from an air motor is utilised to rotate the movable engine nozzles, allowing them to be pointed downwards for hovering flight, or to the rear for normal ahead flight, a system acknowledged as Thrust vectoring.
Use
The effect of use on a roller chain is to boost the pitch (spacing of the hyperlinks), creating the chain to develop lengthier. Be aware that this is because of to wear at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from genuine stretching of the metal (as does occur to some adaptable metal elements these kinds of as the hand-brake cable of a motor vehicle).
With CZPT chains it is strange for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to use until finally it breaks, considering that a worn chain prospects to the speedy onset of use on the teeth of the sprockets, with greatest failure becoming the loss of all the teeth on the sprocket. The sprockets (in distinct the smaller of the two) experience a grinding movement that puts a characteristic hook shape into the driven experience of the teeth. (This influence is manufactured worse by a chain improperly tensioned, but is unavoidable no matter what treatment is taken). The worn enamel (and chain) no longer gives easy transmission of electricity and this may turn into evident from the sounds, the vibration or (in automobile engines making use of a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing seen with a timing light. Each sprockets and chain should be changed in these circumstances, considering that a new chain on worn sprockets will not very last lengthy. Nonetheless, in significantly less severe cases it could be achievable to help save the more substantial of the 2 sprockets, because it is often the scaled-down 1 that suffers the most dress in. Only in quite light-excess weight programs this sort of as a bicycle, or in excessive cases of inappropriate rigidity, will the chain typically jump off the sprockets.
The lengthening thanks to use of a chain is calculated by the pursuing system:
M = the size of a number of back links measured
S = the variety of backlinks calculated
P = Pitch
In sector, it is usual to keep an eye on the motion of the chain tensioner (regardless of whether manual or automatic) or the specific duration of a drive chain (1 rule of thumb is to replace a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable push or 1.5% on a fixed-center push). A simpler strategy, notably ideal for the cycle or motorbike person, is to endeavor to pull the chain away from the larger of the 2 sprockets, although ensuring the chain is taut. Any considerable motion (e.g. generating it attainable to see by means of a gap) probably indicates a chain worn up to and past the limit. Sprocket damage will end result if the issue is ignored. Sprocket use cancels this influence, and may possibly mask chain wear.
CHAIN Toughness
The most common evaluate of roller chain’s power is tensile power. Tensile energy signifies how a lot load a chain can stand up to underneath a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile power is a chain’s exhaustion toughness. The essential factors in a chain’s fatigue energy is the good quality of steel utilized to manufacture the chain, the warmth treatment method of the chain elements, the high quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the sort of shot additionally the intensity of shot peen protection on the linkplates. Other aspects can incorporate the thickness of the linkplates and the style (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous push is for the chain load to not CZPT a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile strength, depending on the sort of master backlinks used (press-match vs. slip-suit)[citation essential]. Roller chains working on a continuous drive outside of these thresholds can and usually do fail prematurely by way of linkplate tiredness failure.
The regular least greatest strength of the ANSI 29.1 metal chain is 12,five hundred x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains tremendously decrease use by signifies of interior lubricants, escalating chain life. The inside lubrication is inserted by implies of a vacuum when riveting the chain jointly.

Notes:
one. The pitch is the distance between roller centers. The width is the length among the url plates (i.e. marginally a lot more than the roller width to allow for clearance).
two. The right-hand digit of the normal denotes 0 = regular chain, 1 = light-weight chain, 5 = rollerless bushing chain.
3. The left-hand digit denotes the quantity of eighths of an inch that make up the pitch.
four. An “H” following the common quantity denotes heavyweight chain. A hyphenated amount pursuing the common amount denotes double-strand (2), triple-strand (3), and so on. Therefore 60H-3 denotes variety 60 heavyweight triple-strand chain.
A standard bicycle chain (for derailleur gears) employs narrow 1⁄2-inch-pitch chain. The width of the chain is variable, and does not influence the load capacity. The far more sprockets at the rear wheel (traditionally 3-6, presently 7-twelve sprockets), the narrower the chain. Chains are sold in accordance to the number of speeds they are made to function with, for illustration, “ten pace chain”. Hub gear or single speed bicycles use 1/2″ x 1/8″ chains, in which 1/8″ refers to the optimum thickness of a sprocket that can be used with the chain.
