What is the difference between 60 and 60H roller chain?

What is the difference between 60 and 60H roller chain?

ANSI #60H Heavy Roller Chain. It has a 3/4″ pitch (center of one pin to the center of the next) and thicker side plates than traditional 60 roller chain (0.125″ vs 0.094″). The result of this is a roller chain that can stand up to higher shock loads and have a longer wear life.

How do I know my roller chain size?

Roller Chain Identification Most roller chain has the size stamped right into the side plates. You may see something like “40”, “C2080H” or “10B” stamped in, which the industry number that represents the chain size. Old chains will most likely need to be cleaned in order to see the size.

What does the number on roller chain mean?

Chain types are identified by number; ie. The digits to the left indicate the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch. For example, a number 40 chain would have a pitch of four-eighths of an inch, or 1/2″, and would be of the standard dimensions in width, roller diameter, etc.

What size is #40 roller chain?

#40 Roller Chain Dimensions

Size	Pitch (P)	Roller Diameter (D)
40-1	0.50″	0.312″

What is 60H chain?

General Duty Plus #60H heavy roller chain is a high quality ANSI standard roller chain. The “H” designates that his chain has thicker side plates and is part of the heavy series of roller chains. Having thicker sides plate increases strength, shock load, fatigue, and the overall working life of the chain.

What are the different sizes of roller chain?

Chain standards

Size	Pitch	Maximum Roller Diameter
50	0.625 in (15.88 mm)	0.400 in (10.16 mm)
60	0.750 in (19.05 mm)	0.469 in (11.91 mm)
80	1.000 in (25.40 mm)	0.625 in (15.88 mm)
100	1.250 in (31.75 mm)	0.750 in (19.05 mm)

What’s the difference between 40 and 41 chain?

#40 will be the beefiest chain in this class. This will help with thicker sprockets since there is more room between the side plates. #41 will look just like the #420 chain, but will stand shorter.

What does Rs stand for in chain?

A: RS stands for ‘Rapid Super’ and RM stands for ‘Rapid Micro’. RS chains are full chisel, and typically cut faster (but you have to maintain proper sharpening and angles to continue to have that performance).

How strong is #40 chain?

Chain standards

Size	Pitch	Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength

41	0.500 in (12.70 mm)	1,500 lb (680 kg)
40	0.500 in (12.70 mm)	3,125 lb (1,417 kg)
