Double Pitch roller chains are generated in accordance using the ASME/ANSI B29.three (Transmission Series) and B29.four (Conveyor Series) American roller chain standards. Usually these chains are very similar to ASME/ANSI regular solutions except the pitch is double. They’re available in Transmission Series, Conveyor Series with Typical (small) Rollers and Conveyor Series with Massive (oversized) Rollers.
Transmission Series
This series is usually used on drives with slow to moderate speeds, minimal chain loads and long center distances. Side plates have a fi gure ?¡ã8?¡À contour. The chain number is obtained by including 2000 to your ASME/ANSI chain quantity as well as prefi x letter ?¡ãA?¡À. Note that some companies never use a prefi x letter for this series so the chains might be represented as A2040, A2050 and so forth. or 2040, 2050 and so on.
Conveyor Series with Standard (little) Rollers
This series is often employed on light to reasonable load materials handling conveyors with or with out attachment hyperlinks. The side plate contour is straight for enhanced sliding properties. Pitch sizes of 1-1/2?¡À and more substantial have ?¡ãHeavy?¡À series website link plates (i.e. hyperlink plates in the next larger chain dimension. The chain variety is located by adding 2000 to the ASME/ANSI chain number and the prefi x letter ?¡ãC?¡À. Chains with the ?¡ãheavy?¡À style side plates use a suffi x letter ?¡ãH?¡À.
Conveyor Series with Significant (oversized) Rollers
These chains possess large rollers to ensure that the chain rolls on the conveyor track cutting down friction. Chain numbers are discovered in the same way as mentioned above except the final digit about the chain number is transformed from ?¡ã0?¡À to ?¡ã2?¡À which denotes the huge roller.
Sprockets
In general sprockets should be created specially for these chains according to the ASME/ANSI B29.3 and B29.four specifications nonetheless, for Transmission Series and Conveyor Series with Common (smaller) Rollers, ASME/ANSI B29.1 Typical roller chain sprockets could be applied provided the amount of teeth is 30 or more.
