A 6Y 8M21 is a 4.24 mm pitch ladder chain made of stainless steel, 300 series, priced per meter. It has a wire diameter of 0.8 mm, an inside width of 2 mm, and a tensile strength of 78 N per link. The chain is designed for power transmission applications requiring corrosion resistance and durability.
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.
