About Roller Chain and Sprockets
>>Roller Chain
Roller chain links engage with matched sprocket teeth to transmit power between rotating shafts. Since there’s no slippage and little stretch, chain drives can handle heavy loads and high torque.
Sizing Roller Chain and Sprockets-ANSI roller chain and sprockets have a standard ANSI number. Metric roller chain and sprockets have a standard ISO number. Only use chain and sprockets with the same number together.
Determine size by measuring pitch. Pitch is the distance between the pin centers of a chain link.
Link Types
Connecting links are also known as master links. They’re used to join the ends of a chain length. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to a chain.
Adding links are also known as roller links. They require 2 connecting links to join chain.
Adding-and-connecting links are also known as half links and offset links. A combination of connecting and adding links, they can join chain that requires an odd number of links. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to the chain.
>>Choosing a Sprocket
Sprockets attach to rotating shafts and transmit power to your roller chain. Idler sprockets maintain constant tension on your drive by pressing against your chain to take up the slack and reduce wear and vibration. Bushing-bore sprockets mate with bushings that can be swapped out for different bore size, so there’s no need to replace your sprocket when working with multiple shaft diameters. Machinable-bore sprockets have an unfinished bore that can be machined for a custom fit.
>>Metric Roller Chain and Links
This chain conforms to ISO 606B and is compatible with BS 228 (British standard) and DIN 8187 (German standard).
Connecting links are also known as master links. They’re used to join the ends of a chain length. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to a chain. Adding-and-connecting links are also known as half links and offset links. They can join chain that requires an odd number of links. For trade size 04B and 05B, an additional connecting link is required to join them to chain.

Can a motor chain be used in vertical motion applications?
Yes, a motor chain can be used in vertical motion applications. Vertical motion refers to applications where the chain is responsible for lifting or lowering loads vertically. Motor chains are commonly used in various vertical motion systems, such as elevators, vertical conveyors, lifting mechanisms, and overhead cranes.
When using a motor chain for vertical motion, it is important to consider the following factors:
1. Load Capacity:
Ensure that the motor chain has sufficient load-carrying capacity to handle the weight of the load being lifted or lowered. It is crucial to select a chain with a suitable working load limit to ensure safe and efficient operation.
2. Tensioning and Alignment:
Proper tensioning and alignment of the motor chain are critical in vertical motion applications. The chain should be adequately tensioned to prevent excessive slack or sag, which can affect its performance and increase the risk of derailment.
3. Safety Mechanisms:
Implement appropriate safety mechanisms, such as limit switches or overload protection devices, to ensure safe operation and prevent accidents in vertical motion applications. These mechanisms help detect and respond to abnormal conditions, such as excessive load or chain tension.
4. Lubrication and Maintenance:
Regular lubrication and maintenance are essential for the proper functioning and longevity of the motor chain in vertical motion applications. Ensure that the chain is properly lubricated to minimize friction and wear.
5. Compliance with Regulations:
Ensure that the motor chain and associated components comply with relevant safety and industry regulations for vertical motion applications. This includes adherence to standards and guidelines for load capacity, materials, design, and installation.
By considering these factors and following proper installation and maintenance practices, a motor chain can be effectively used in vertical motion applications, providing reliable and efficient performance.
What are the main components of a motor chain?
A motor chain consists of several key components that work together to transmit power and motion. Here are the main components:
1. Plates: The plates are the main load-bearing components of the chain. They are typically flat, metal pieces that are interconnected to form a continuous loop. The plates provide the strength and rigidity required to handle the torque and tension applied during operation.
2. Pins: The pins serve as the pivot points for connecting the plates. They are cylindrical metal rods that pass through the holes in the plates, holding them together while allowing them to rotate freely. The pins are securely pressed or riveted into the plates.
3. Bushings: The bushings are cylindrical sleeves that are inserted into the holes of the plates. They provide a bearing surface for the pins, reducing friction and wear. The bushings also help maintain proper spacing and alignment between the plates.
4. Rollers: Some motor chains, particularly roller chains, feature rollers that are positioned between the plates. The rollers provide smooth and low-friction engagement with the sprockets, allowing the chain to smoothly transmit power and motion.
5. Rivets: The rivets are used to secure the ends of the chain together, forming a continuous loop. They are typically cylindrical metal pins that are peened or pressed to permanently join the chain ends.
6. Side Plates: The side plates enclose the sides of the chain and provide additional support and protection. They help prevent the chain from derailing and also serve as a mounting point for attaching the chain to the sprockets or other components.
Together, these components form a durable and reliable motor chain that is capable of transmitting power and motion efficiently in various applications. The specific design and configuration of the components may vary depending on the type and size of the motor chain.
What are the applications of motor chains in various industries?
Motor chains, also known as power transmission chains, have a wide range of applications in various industries. Here are some common industries where motor chains are used:
1. Automotive Industry: Motor chains are extensively used in automotive manufacturing for power transmission in engines, timing systems, and other mechanical components. They ensure precise motion control and synchronization of engine parts.
2. Industrial Machinery: Motor chains are found in a variety of industrial machinery, including conveyor systems, material handling equipment, packaging machines, printing presses, and assembly lines. They facilitate the movement of components and materials, ensuring smooth operation and efficient production.
3. Construction and Mining: Motor chains are used in construction and mining equipment such as excavators, cranes, bulldozers, and conveyor systems. They handle heavy loads and provide reliable power transmission in demanding environments.
4. Agriculture: Motor chains are employed in agricultural machinery such as tractors, combine harvesters, and irrigation systems. They help drive various components and ensure efficient operation in farming and crop production.
5. Material Handling: Motor chains are vital in material handling equipment, including forklifts, hoists, and elevators. They enable the lifting and movement of heavy loads, ensuring precise control and safe operation.
6. Energy and Utilities: Motor chains are used in power generation facilities, such as turbines and generators, to transmit rotational power. They are also found in wind turbines, hydroelectric plants, and other renewable energy systems.
7. Food and Beverage: Motor chains are employed in food processing equipment, including conveyors, mixers, bottling lines, and packaging machines. They ensure efficient and hygienic material handling in the food and beverage industry.
These are just a few examples, and motor chains are utilized in many other industries where power transmission and motion control are critical. Their versatility, durability, and ability to handle high loads make them indispensable in various industrial applications.
