Description
The single strand roller chain is the most widely used industrial drive chain. It carries one row of rollers on a single pin, so it is compact, light and easy to fit into an existing machine layout. We manufacture single strand chains in A series and B series, in several materials, and cut them to the length your equipment needs.
Available Models
This single strand roller chain is available in the following model:
| Model | 04C-1 |
| Pitch | 6.35 mm (1/4 in) |
| Chain size code | 2 fen (2/8 in) |
| Load class | Ultra-light duty |
Typical Applications
Model 04C-1 is used for compact, lightly loaded drives. Typical applications include:
- Small equipment
- Instruments
- Micro conveying
- Small automation equipment
- Small motor drives
Product Features
- Single strand (simplex) construction: one row of rollers on one pin, for compact and space-saving drive layouts
- Made in A series and B series so the chain matches both metric and inch standard sprockets
- Precision-machined plates, pins, bushes and rollers for smooth engagement and low running noise
- Hardened pins and bushes for wear resistance, and the chain is pre-lubricated before packing
- Available in carbon steel, stainless steel such as SUS304, and plastic
- Standard pitches, custom pitch and special link plates made to drawing
- Matching sprockets can be supplied in the same order
Product Advantages
- Low weight and narrow width compared with multi-strand chain, which simplifies machine design and reduces chain tension
- Steady power transmission for general driving duties on industrial machinery
- Material chosen to suit the job: carbon steel for general use, stainless steel for corrosive and wash-down areas, plastic for low noise and light load
- Custom chain length, riveted or cottered terminal links, and special packing to suit your assembly line
- One-stop service: chain, sprockets and custom parts from a single supplier
- More than ten years of export experience, with technical support from our engineers
