Using Double Pitch Chains
When choosing a double pitch chain, the application, conveying load, chain dimensions, operating environment, and compatibility with the machine system should be evaluated together. With a longer pitch than standard designs, these chains are preferred especially in conveying and low- to medium-speed motion transmission applications.
Key selection criteria:
-
Suitability of pitch and link dimensions for the system
-
Load to be conveyed or transmitted
-
Operating speed and cycle frequency
-
Environmental conditions
-
Compatibility with sprockets and connecting components
Using the right double pitch chain contributes to consistent system operation and more controlled maintenance management.
