A 6M 7M12-02 is a 2-meter length of single-strand, self-lubricating roller chain with a 3.12 mm pitch, molded from black acetal resin for use in mechanical drives requiring adjustable length and snap-together assembly. The chain operates at speeds up to 5.1 m/sec with 8-tooth sprockets, supports running tension loads up to 0.91 kgf, and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +121°C, though sustained temperatures above +82°C are not recommended. It weighs approximately 0.0124 kg and has a momentary break strength of at least 3.2 kgf. The unit-link design allows for length adjustment without connecting links, and either side can engage the sprocket. 100% inspection ensures compliance with pitch, thickness, width, and flexibility tolerances.
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.
