A 6Y 7MM040 is a 40-link, single-strand metric roller chain with a 3.75 mm pitch, made of stainless steel type 18-8 with a clear passivated finish. It has a theoretical tensile load of 778 N and weighs 50 grams per meter. The chain is supplied with a connecting link and measures 150 mm in length. This part is part of a series of miniature roller chains designed for precision power transmission applications.
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.
