Witra 06B-1 Roller Chain 3/8″ 10ft -NIB

A roller chain is a mechanical component used for transmitting power or conveying materials in a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and automotive applications. It consists of a series of interconnected links with rollers that engage with sprockets to efficiently transfer motion and force.

Key Components:

1. Rollers: Cylindrical components that engage with the teeth of a sprocket to reduce friction and wear.
2. Pins: Connect the inner and outer links and act as the pivot points.
3. Bushings: Support the rollers and reduce wear.
4. Inner and Outer Plates: Hold the chain structure together, providing strength and stability.

Common Types of Roller Chains:

1. Standard Roller Chains:
   • Follow industry standards such as ANSI or ISO.
   • Used in power transmission systems like conveyors, machinery, and automotive engines.
2. Heavy-Duty Roller Chains:
   • Built to handle high loads and stress.
   • Feature thicker plates and stronger pins.
3. Corrosion-Resistant Chains:
   • Made from stainless steel or coated for use in wet or corrosive environments, such as food processing or marine applications.
4. Attachment Chains:
   • Include additional attachments like tabs or brackets for specific applications like conveyors or agricultural equipment.
5. Double-Pitch Charlie:
   • Have extended pitches for light-duty applications such as conveyor systems.
6. Silent Chains:
   • Designed for quieter operation and higher speeds.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Durability: Made of high-strength materials to handle various loads.
• Versatility: Available in a wide range of sizes, pitches, and configurations.
• Efficiency: Provides reliable and consistent power transfer.
• Ease of Maintenance: Modular design makes replacement of worn sections straightforward.

Applications:

• Industrial Machinery: Power transmission in manufacturing and assembly lines.
• Automotive: Timing chains and drive systems.
• Agricultural Equipment: Used in tractors, combines, and other machinery.
• Conveyor Systems: Transporting materials in food processing, packaging, and mining.
