The smallest chain complying to ANSI is 25 of 6.35 mm pitch. Even so, in response towards the demands for smaller sized chains in recent years for substantial technological innovation machinery such as office equipment, health care machines and industrial robots, we present 15 of four.7625 mm (3/16 inch) pitch and in addition 15H1 being a high-power edition of 15. These higher precision chains are produced under extreme top quality handle in particular expected for modest sizes, taking wear resistance also under consideration.
Choice of chain
Refer to your “Low-speed selection”. Having said that, the chain operation pace can be set substantially large based upon the type of lubrication as proven from the table beneath.
Connecting hyperlinks and offset back links
R connecting hyperlinks are utilised for smaller pitch chains. Nonetheless, due to the fact their strength is reduced than that of the base chain, and because the clip is more likely to come off in large speed operation, using connecting hyperlinks will not be suggested. Use a loop chain without having attaching connecting hyperlinks.
Offset backlinks can be found for chains besides 15 and 15H1, but their use isn’t advised to the very same explanation as stated for the R Connecting hyperlinks.
Working speed and form of lubrication
15: A higher precision mini-pitch bushing chain that’s smaller sized than a compact drive chain for general applications, 25
25: Smallest bushing chain among ANSI standard chains using curl bushings.
35: A ANSI conventional bushing chain ideal for compact precision machines that need large power.
