A 6C 8M21 is a 4.24 mm pitch ladder chain made of galvanized steel, rated for 78 N yield strength per wire, with a 0.8 mm wire diameter and 2 mm inside width, sold per meter. The chain features a molded metal insert and is designed for use with matching sprockets in 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.
