The smallest chain complying to ANSI is 25 of 6.35 mm pitch. Nevertheless, in response towards the demands for smaller chains in recent years for high technology machinery such as workplace equipment, medical machines and industrial robots, we supply 15 of 4.7625 mm (3/16 inch) pitch and also 15H1 as a high-power edition of 15. These high precision chains are produced beneath serious quality handle specifically needed for tiny sizes, taking put on resistance also into account.
Choice of chain
Refer to the “Low-speed selection”. However, the chain operation pace is often set considerably large based upon the kind of lubrication as proven within the table beneath.
Connecting hyperlinks and offset hyperlinks
R connecting links are utilised for tiny pitch chains. Having said that, considering that their power is decrease than that with the base chain, and since the clip is prone to come off in higher velocity operation, using connecting links just isn’t recommended. Use a loop chain devoid of attaching connecting back links.
Offset backlinks can be found for chains other than 15 and 15H1, but their use isn’t recommended to the identical cause as stated to the R Connecting backlinks.
Operating speed and sort of lubrication
15: A substantial precision mini-pitch bushing chain which is smaller than a compact drive chain for common applications, 25
25: Smallest bushing chain amid ANSI common chains making use of curl bushings.
35: A ANSI conventional bushing chain appropriate for small precision machines that call for large strength.
