A Stainless Steel 40 Roller Chain Transmission Chain is an industrial chain used for transmitting mechanical power. Made from stainless steel, it offers high corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for environments where rust prevention is crucial.
Answer: The “40” refers to the chain’s pitch size according to the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards. Specifically, a #40 chain has a pitch of 0.5 inches (12.7 mm), indicating the distance between roller centers.
Answer: Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to regular carbon steel. It’s ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures, ensuring longer chain life and reduced maintenance.
Answer: They are commonly used in food processing, pharmaceutical industries, marine environments, and outdoor equipment where corrosion resistance and hygiene are essential.
Answer: While stainless steel chains offer good strength, they typically have slightly lower load capacities compared to carbon steel chains of the same size. It’s important to verify the load requirements for your specific application.
Answer: Regular cleaning to remove debris and the use of food-grade or appropriate lubricants will maintain chain performance. Despite stainless steel’s corrosion resistance, proper lubrication reduces wear and extends the chain’s lifespan.
