A 6B 8M18 is a 7.26 mm pitch ladder chain made of brass, priced per meter, with a wire inside diameter of 1.2 mm, link width of 3.2 mm, and a yield strength of 111 N. It is designed for power transmission applications requiring positive synchronization and torque transfer. The chain is compatible with sprockets featuring 4 to 36 teeth and bore sizes of 4, 6, or 8 mm with set screws. No physical dimensions or mounting details for the chain itself are specified beyond pitch and link geometry.
Chain and sprocket drives are often used where positive synchronization between shafts and transmission of substantial torque are required. They are one of the more frequently used methods of power transmission, providing greater power than belts. Highly efficient, a single chain can drive several shafts and is used for both long and short distances. Adverse conditions, such as temperature and environment, do not affect their running. Other advantages include compact size and low maintenance costs. Chain drives are found in a wide range of power transmission applications, including bicycles, agricultural machinery, machine tools, conveyors, business machines, electronic or electro-mechanical devices, etc.
