A 6M 7-50PLP is a 1/2-inch pitch plastic roller chain made of polypropylene, designed for power transmission applications. It has a roller diameter of 5/16 inch, a pin diameter of 0.156 inch, a width of 0.088 inch, and a maximum speed rating of 3000 ft/min. The chain operates within a temperature range of -30°F to +180°F and has a tensile strength at break of 89 lbf. The chain is priced per foot and conforms to the dimensional and performance specifications for Figure 1 roller chains in the series.
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.
