Smaller Pitch Chain

The smallest chain complying to ANSI is 25 of 6.35 mm pitch. On the other hand, in response to the demands for smaller sized chains lately for substantial technology machinery this kind of as office products, medical machines and industrial robots, we offer 15 of 4.7625 mm (3/16 inch) pitch as well as 15H1 like a high-power version of 15. These high precision chains are manufactured below significant excellent manage particularly demanded for small sizes, taking put on resistance also into consideration.
Choice of chain
Refer to the “Low-speed selection”. Having said that, the chain operation velocity is usually set substantially large determined by the sort of lubrication as shown from the table under.
Connecting links and offset back links
R connecting back links are applied for little pitch chains. On the other hand, given that their strength is lower than that with the base chain, and since the clip is likely to come off in substantial speed operation, the use of connecting back links is not really encouraged. Use a loop chain devoid of attaching connecting hyperlinks.
Offset hyperlinks can be found for chains other than 15 and 15H1, but their use is just not suggested to the similar purpose as stated for that R Connecting back links.
Working speed and type of lubrication
15: A large precision mini-pitch bushing chain that’s smaller than a compact drive chain for basic applications, 25
25: Smallest bushing chain amongst ANSI typical chains using curl bushings.
35: A ANSI standard bushing chain appropriate for tiny precision machines that demand high power.
