Double Pitch Roller Chains
Also known as extended pitch roller chains, this variation of standard roller chains has double the spacing between the roller pins, a cost-effective, quieter solution for covering greater distances.
Double pitch roller chains are commonly used in applications where cost-effectiveness, lighter weight, higher speeds, and reduced friction are desired. They are often found in conveyor systems, material handling equipment, agricultural machinery, and other applications that involve long spans or lightweight loads.
It’s important to note that double pitch roller chains are not interchangeable with standard roller chains due to their different pitch sizes. When selecting a double pitch chain, consider factors such as load capacity, speed, operating conditions, and the specific requirements of the application.
Benefits
- Cost-Effective due to a simpler design and fewer components.
- Lighter Weight yet able to maintain the same load capacity, making them ideal for weight-sensitive applications.
- Reduced Friction, the longer pitch reduces surface pressure, resulting in smoother operation and less wear on chain and sprockets.
- Higher Speed Capability.
- Longer Service Life, loads are distributed over more rollers, minimizing wear and fatigue for increased chain and sprocket lifespan.
- Compatibility, designed to work with standard sprockets and other chain components, allowing for easy integration and replacement.
- Noise Reduction, the longer pitch and reduced friction contribute to quieter operation compared to standard chains.
