Our entire range of American National Standards added strength. The wide link plate profile improves stress Institute (ANSI) standard roller chains, specialty chains and distribution, leading to improved fatigue resistance and enhanced attachment chains meet or exceed ANSI/ASME standard performance. B29.1. Our oil field chains meet or exceed the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 7F8 requirements, and our engineered class chains are manufactured utilizing state-of- the-art equipment. We are ISO 9001: 2000 registered and are an API Quality registered firm. Updates are made periodically to this catalog. Visit www.timken.com for the most current version of the SOLID ROLLERS Drives – Chain Products catalog. We use solid rollers on all carbon roller chains. The solid roller allows HIGH-PERFORMANCE ROLLER for smooth rotation on the bushing reducing the impact load as the chain CHAIN IN STOCK AND WAITING engages the sprocket tooth.

This results in optimum toughness and resistance to wear. CONNECTING LINKS Standard connecting links are used when roller chain is operating under normal conditions. For severe applications, press fit connecting links are suggested. Spring-clip style connecting links are used for sizes 60H and smaller. Sizes 80 – 180H use a special hardened hook cotter. Coated T-pins are used on 200, 264 and 240. PRELUBRICATION After final assembly, we hot-dip the roller chain in a spec lubricant. This process ensures that all the load-bearing surfac are initially protected from metal-to-metal contact, improving t wear life of the chain. Close style spring clip. Hook cotter connecting link. Coated T-pins used on the connecting links. OFFSET LINKS AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY Offset links are used when the chain length is an odd number of pitches; however, their fatigue strength is lower than standard Our roller chain assembly methods ensure consistent processes chain links. Using offsets should be avoided when possible. and proper assembly of chain components. Offset link.
