The A 6M 7-12-003 is a 3-foot length of self-lubricating, single-strand roller chain with a 0.1227-inch pitch, molded from black acetal resin. It operates within a temperature range of -40°F to +250°F, with sustained use above +180°F not recommended. The chain supports running tension loads up to 2 lbf and is rated for speeds up to 1000 feet per minute with 8-tooth sprockets. Each 15-foot segment weighs approximately 1 ounce. The unit-link design allows adjustable length without a connecting link, and both sides of the chain are functional on sprockets. It is intended for instrumentation applications such as servo drives, pen carriages, and X-Y plotters, where low torque and controlled elasticity are critical.
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.
