A 1-meter length of self-lubricating, acetal resin roller chain with a 3.12 mm pitch, designed for low-torque mechanical drives requiring adjustable length via snap-together assembly. Operates at speeds up to 5.1 m/sec with 8-tooth sprockets and supports running tension loads up to 0.91 kgf. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +121°C, with sustained temperatures above +82°C not recommended. Weight is approximately 0.006 kg per meter. Unit-link design allows installation without a connecting link, and either side of the chain can engage sprockets. No static tension or torque reversal without supplemental controls. Fully inspected 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.
