The A 6M 7-12-020 is a 20-foot length of self-lubricating, acetal resin roller chain with a 0.1227-inch pitch, designed for low-torque instrumentation drives such as X-Y plotters and recorders. It features a unit-link design that allows snap-together assembly without a connecting link and operates with a maximum running tension of 2 lbf. The chain is rated for temperatures from -40°F to +250°F, with sustained use above +180°F not recommended, and supports speeds up to 1000 feet per minute with 8-tooth sprockets. It weighs approximately 1 oz per 15 feet and undergoes 100% inspection for break strength, dimensions, and flexibility.
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.
