The smallest chain complying to ANSI is 25 of 6.35 mm pitch. Even so, in response towards the demands for smaller sized chains in recent years for higher technology machinery such as workplace equipment, medical machines and industrial robots, we give 15 of 4.7625 mm (3/16 inch) pitch as well as 15H1 like a high-power edition of 15. These substantial precision chains are manufactured under extreme good quality management particularly demanded for tiny sizes, taking dress in resistance also into consideration.
Choice of chain
Refer to your “Low-speed selection”. Having said that, the chain operation velocity could be set considerably higher based on the kind of lubrication as shown during the table below.
Connecting backlinks and offset links
R connecting back links are utilized for little pitch chains. Nonetheless, because their power is lower than that with the base chain, and because the clip is prone to come off in high pace operation, the usage of connecting links is just not encouraged. Use a loop chain without having attaching connecting hyperlinks.
Offset links can be found for chains apart from 15 and 15H1, but their use will not be recommended for your similar purpose as stated for the R Connecting links.
Working pace and kind of lubrication
15: A high precision mini-pitch bushing chain that is certainly smaller sized than a compact drive chain for standard applications, 25
25: Smallest bushing chain amongst ANSI conventional chains applying curl bushings.
35: A ANSI conventional bushing chain suitable for small precision machines that need substantial power.
