A 6M 7M12-05 is a 5-meter length of single-strand, self-lubricating plastic roller chain with a 3.12 mm pitch, made from black acetal resin. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +121°C, with sustained temperatures above +82°C not recommended. The chain supports running tension loads up to 0.91 kgf and can operate at speeds up to 5.1 m/sec with 8-tooth sprockets. It weighs approximately 0.031 kg per 5 meters. The unit-link design allows adjustable length without a connecting link and permits either side to engage sprockets. Constant static tension is not recommended. The chain has been 100% 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.
