Fulton, Illinois USA

Product specifications subject to change without notice.


Some products shown proprietary.

Wide Waist
The wide waist
design of 60H and
larger chains
reduces the
bending stress in the link plate
which increases the fatigue strength
of the chain.

Solid Rollers
Drives, Incorporated
utilizes solid rollers on
all precision roller
chains. The solid roller
allows for smooth rotation on the bushing, minimizing the
impact load as the chain engages
the sprocket tooth.

Factory
Preloading
Drives,
Incorporated
precision
roller chains
are preloaded
during assembly. Preloading the chain seats
the chain components, which minimizes the
initial elongation of the chain.

Shot Peened Parts


All precision chain rollers and link
plates are shot peened for greater
fatigue strength.

Heat Treatment

Prelubrication

Rigorous process controls and state of


the art heat treating furnaces assure
consistent quality
in all chain
components.
This results in
optimum toughness and resistance to wear.

After final assembly the roller


chains are hot dipped in a special
lubricant. This process assures
that all the load bearing surfaces
are protected from metal to
metal contact, improving the
wear life of the chain.

Connecting Links
Standard connecting links are used
when roller chains are operated
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-pin is used on 200, 264 and 240.

Automated Assembly
Roller chain assembly
methods assure
consistent processes and proper
assembly of chain
components.

Offset Links
Offset links are used when the
chain length is an odd number of
pitches; however their fatigue
strength is lower than standard
chain links. Use of offsets should be
avoided when possible.

Horsepower Rating
The horsepower rating in Table IV on page 10 is
based on the following conditions:
1. Chains are operated under ordinary conditions. The
ambient temperature range must be between 15F and
140F. They should not be used in an atmosphere in
which abrasive dust or corrosive gas is present or where
the humidity is high.
2. Two transmission shafts are in a horizontal position,
and the chains are properly installed.
3. Suggested lubrication system and oil are used.
4. Load does not change significantly during transmission. The Service Factors given in Table I should be
taken into account when the chains are used under
various operating conditions. The load conditions will
affect the life of the chain.
5. In order to estimate the service life of a multiple
strand chain, the Multiple Strand Factor given in
Table II must be used. When the chain length is 100
pitches and the above conditions are met, a service life
of approximately 15,000 hours can be expected.

5. After determining the number of teeth necessary


for the small sprocket, be sure the sprocket diameter
satisfies the space limitations.
6. The number of teeth for the large sprocket is
determined by multiplying the number of teeth for the
small sprocket by the speed ratio. More than 15 teeth
on the small sprocket is suggested. The number of
teeth for the large sprocket should be less than 120.
By reducing the number of teeth for the small
sprocket, the number of teeth for the large sprocket
can be reduced.

Basic Formula for Chain Drive


1.

Chain speed: S

Procedures for Selecting Roller Chain

1. The following factors must be considered when


selecting roller chain:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

Source of input power


Drive machine type of driven equipment
Horsepower to be transmitted
RPM of driving and driven shafts
Diameter of driving and driven shafts
Center distance of the shafts

2. Use Table I to obtain the Service Factor.


3. Multiply the horsepower value by the service factor
to obtain the design horsepower value.
4. Use Table IV on page 10 and the horsepower ratings
table to obtain the appropriate chain number
of teeth for small sprockets. Refer to the number of
revolutions of the high speed shaft (the driving shaft
when the speed is reduced; the driven shaft when the
speed is increased) and the design horsepower value.
For smoother chain drive, a small pitch chain is suggested. If a single strand chain does not satisfy the
transmission requirements, use a multiple strand chain.
If there are space limitations, a multiple strand roller
chain with a smaller pitch may be used.

Drive Selection Procedure


Selection Example (1)
Q1. A centrifugal compressor with 3HP is driven by
an 1800rpm electric motor. How to select chain and
sprockets.
A1. Seek the service factor, 1.3, from Table I
Power to be transmitted x Service factor = Design Horsepower
3HP X 1.3 = 3.9HP
2. Refer to Table 1V. Horsepower Rating Table for 1800rpm
3.9HP and 35 chain with sprocket 16T to 20T is obtained.
3. Check horsepower ratings for chain 35, and as you see,
the horsepower ratings of 35 17T with speed of 1800rpm is
3.93HP, which is satisfactory.
4. The following are selected:
Chain No 35 Small sprocket 35 17T.
Selection Example (2)
Q1.The number of revolutions for drive is 500rpm and the
power to be transmitted is 10HP. The rpm is reduced to
125 (1/4). The center distance should be 11.00 with a
space limitation of 19.00, and a uniform load. How to
select chain and sprocket for this application.

A1. Design horsepower is computed as follows:


Design horsepower: 10HP X 1.0 = 10HP
2. Select chain and the number of teeth for sprocket by
referring to Table 1V, Horsepower Rating Table.
60 18T has been selected.
125rpm
3.Speed reduction ratio is 0.25 =
500rpm
Therefore, the number of teeth in the large sprocket is
18T
72T = 0.25
4. The outside diameter of the 18T is 4.685 and the 72T is
17.60.
The space required for this arrangement is
4.685 + 17.60
+ 11 = 22.14
2
which can not be contained in the 19.
5. Multiple strand chain is selected. 50-2 16T to 20T is
selected using Table 1I.
10HP x 1.0
= 5.88HP
1.7
(1.7 is multiple strand factor)
Refer to horsepower ratings. 50-2, 18T is obtained. Its
outside diameter is 3.90. The large sprocket is
18T
72T =
outside diameter 14.69.
0.25
However, this selection cannot be contained in the space.
6. Triple strand chain is selected in the same manner as above.
50 - 3, 13T and 52T are obtained. The outside diameter of
sprockets is 2.87, and 10.67 respectively.
2.87 + 10.67 + 11 = 17.77can be contained in
the space required.
2
The chain and sprockets selected are 50-3, 13T and 52T.

When the chain speed (S) is less than 160 Ft./Min.,


select a roller chain size smaller than the chain chosen
from the horsepower rating method mentioned
above. (Consult Drives, Inc. for maximum allowable
load when slow speed calculation is required.)
1. Tentatively select the chain and sprocket from
Table IV and proceed by using a one size smaller chain
and its sprocket with the number of teeth close to
the sprocket selected above. Be sure to confirm that
the sprocket meets the application requirements such
as bore diameter and space limitation, etc.

Selection of High Temperatures


Drive chains are made of heat treated carbon steel.
When exposed to high temperatures, the mechanical
properties of the heat treated chain components are
impaired.

2. Calculate the chain speed from the number of teeth


on the driving sprocket using Formula (1). Also check
that the speed is less than 160 ft./min.

1. The hardness and, therefore, the wear resistance of


pins and bushings is reduced.

3. Calculate the chain tension for the above drive


from Formula (2).

2. At temperatures above 390F, the rollers and plates


lose their hardness and strength.

4. Select the service factor and the chain speed


coefficient from Table I and III.

Standard roller chains can be used up to 500F with


the following adjustments:

5. Verify that the chain has maximum allowable load


which satisfies Formula (3). Please consult Drives, Inc.

increase the number of teeth, or to use the same
procedure for HZ series of the same size (refer to HZ
chains on page 27).

Horsepower Rating Table


Selection of Chain and
Small Sprocket
Chain Pitch

resulting in a decrease of the chordal action, which


results in a quiet drive with less impact.

The smallest applicable pitch is desirable for quiet


operation and for high speed.

Usually, large sprockets should not exceed 120 teeth


although many successful drives use sprockets with
150 teeth and more.

Number of Sprocket Teeth

Selection of Large Sprocket

For a given chain pitch and shaft to transmit a given


horsepower, the effect of increasing the number of
teeth in the sprocket is to increase the chain linear
speed and decrease the chain pull proportionally,

After the small sprocket has been selected, the


number of teeth in the large sprocket is determined
by the specified ratio of the shaft speeds.

Table IV Roller Chain Pitch Selection

Note: The Maximum Horsepower Rating specified in each of the strand columns is not limiting for Chain Drives.
Consult Drives, Incorporated on those applications which are above the horsepower range of the chart.

The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the charts shaded areas directly above the Type I, II, or III reference. For optimum results, it is recommended that
the Roller Chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the conditions of operation of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The Horsepower
Ratings of Multiple Strand Chains are greater than those for Single Strand Chain: see Table II on page 8 for Multiple Strand Factors.

The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the charts shaded areas directly above the Type I, II, or III reference. For optimum results, it is recommended that
the Roller Chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the conditions of operation of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The Horsepower
Ratings of Multiple Strand Chains are greater than those for Single Strand Chain: see Table II on page 8 for Multiple Strand Factors.

The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the charts shaded areas directly above the Type I, II, or III reference. For optimum results, it is recommended that
the Roller Chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the conditions of operation of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The Horsepower
Ratings of Multiple Strand Chains are greater than those for Single Strand Chain: see Table II on page 8 for Multiple Strand Factors.

The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the charts shaded areas directly above the Type I, II, or III reference. For optimum results, it is recommended that
the Roller Chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the conditions of operation of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The Horsepower
Ratings of Multiple Strand Chains are greater than those for Single Strand Chain: see Table II on page 8 for Multiple Strand Factors.

The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the charts shaded areas directly above the Type I, II, or III reference. For optimum results, it is recommended that
the Roller Chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the conditions of operation of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The Horsepower
Ratings of Multiple Strand Chains are greater than those for Single Strand Chain: see Table II on page 8 for Multiple Strand Factors.

Heavy-Series Chain
HR Riveted Series
HZ Cottered Series
Heavy-series chains are produced with thicker link plates
than standard ANSI chains and are offered in two styles:
HR Riveted style chains contain a carburized pin for
increased wear life in high speed and abrasive applications.
The HZ Cottered style chains contain a through hardened pin for more moderate speed and high load/pulsating
type applications. The HZ Cottered chains deliver a
higher working load capacity and additional resistance to
fatigue in heavy load applications.

bearing area for optimum press fits, improving fatigue life


and increased working load capacity. This special ballizing
process is after heat treatment; key to achieving the
maximum residual compressive stress.

All HR and HZ-series chains are designed with a wide


waist contour and a heavy side plate thickness to improve
stress distribution, increase fatigue strength, and reduce
vibration. All HR Riveted series chains (sizes 80HR240HR) and HZ Cottered series chains (sizes 60HZ240HZ) contain ballized plates to ensure maximum

Drives, Inc. USA HR & HZ-series chains lead the industry

Users of our chains can be certain they are receiving


the highest quality roller chains by examining the
label on our box, which carries the API monogram.
Only those companies who have established API
approved and audited quality systems are authorized
to display this symbol of excellence.

Roller chains used in the oil and natural gas industries


are subjected to some of the greatest loads and
harshest operating conditions. We produce our Oil
Field Energy chains with the same attention to detail
that goes into all of our products, but these chains
are also subjected to performance testing in accordance with the latest API (American Petroleum
Institute) Specification 7F7.

Shotpeened Components
Solid Rollers
Shotpeened solid rollers for ultimate sprocket contact,
shock resistance and toughness.

Side Bars
Shotpeened bars for impact resistance and improved
fatigue life.

Pre-loading
Maximum pre-load aligns all bearing components to minimize
break-in elongation and provide longer in-service life.

Lubrication
Specialty blended lubricants, applied at 235 F, guarantee ultimate
penetration between pins and bushings where you need it most.

Available Options

Drives, Incorporated Roller Conveyor Products


Caterpillar Drive Chain
Caterpillar Drive Chains are essential in driving drop
forged chain conveyors. Drives, Inc. USA Caterpillar
Drive Chains provide high fatigue life and are designed to
perform flawlessly with forged rivetless chains.
Drives, Inc. USA Caterpillar Drive Chains feature all
ballized plates to ensure maximum bearing area for
optimum press fits. This improves fatigue life and working
loads. We use wide waist link plates with maximized ball
heights to improve stress distribution that also increases
fatigue strength and reduces vibration.
The use of through hardened pins that are micro ground
and shotpeened provides maximum pin to bushing surface
contact for extended wear and protection from any
unpredictable overload. Hardened hook cotters* are
used to resist shearing and hold their place in the most
rigorous of applications.
Our one-piece forged drive dog is induction hardened in
the chain contact bearing area for wear resistance. The
balance of the drive dog is through hardened for strength
and durability.

Drives, Inc. is ready to assist you in providing a full line of moisture and
corrosion resistant chains to suit your application.

Stainless Steel Chain


Stainless steel offers the greatest resistance to corrosion and temperature
extremes. Drives, Inc. manufacturers 300 series roller chains in the most
commonly used sizes. 300 series stainless provides an excellent resistance to
corrosion but is less wear resistant that carbon steel. If your application
requires an alternative stainless; heat treated components for increased wear
or different chemistry for extreme corrosion resistance, contact Drives, Inc.
application engineering.

Nickel-Plated Chain
Nickel-Plated chains are designed to resist incidental contact or exposure to
water or water based wash-down operations. Drives, Inc. applies an electroless nickel plating to the component parts prior to assembly to insure complete coverage of all exposed carbon material. Special attention is placed on afterplating processes to virtually remove the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement a
common occurrence in lesser quality chains.

Silver Shield CRTM Series Chains


Silver Shield CR series chains are available for those applications that may
be subjected to mildly caustic or acidic environments. Silver Shield CR
chains consist of Drives, Inc.s standard carbon steel components, specially
coated with a Zinc Aluminum compound. This compound, combined with
a polymer based resin, tightly adheres to the components during a high
temperature baking process. This combination, quality carbon steel components and environmental resistant coating, provides the best alternative to
stainless in applications where stainless has historically been the only option.

All products are configured to meet the needs of the application


Drives, Inc. offers Stainless, Nickel-Plated and Silver Shield CR materials
and coatings in commonly used sizes - in standard packaged lengths or cut-tolength as required. Additionally, attachment link plates and extended pins are
readily available for the most commonly requested ANSI power transmission
and extended pitch conveyor chains. Contact Drives, Inc. for the specific
availability of the size and configuration your application requires.
Caution: Do not weld or torch-cut nickel plated or Silvershield CR coated chains.
Consult Drives, Inc. Engineering for application information.

Selection Information

The overall requirements of the application are


important when selecting the correct type of roller or
conveyor chain. The factors that most often define
what chain combination should be used are: resistance
to the environment, wear life / strength and total cost.
Below are some characteristics to consider when
selecting the chain that best suits the application.

Environment Resistance:

The chain selected should be capable of resisting


the majority of the chemical and/or temperature
requirements. If the environment is ambient in
temperature, then only chemical presence need be
addressed. Drives, Inc. Stainless, Nickel-Plated or
Silver Shield CR chains may be considered depending upon the severity of the chemical environment. If
the environment is one which is elevated or sub-zero,
Stainless Steel chains will most often provide the best
overall operation.

Wear Life / Strength:

If satisfactory chain life is defined as extended wear,


then carbon steel based products are best suited.
Drives, Inc. Nickel-Plated or Silver Shield CR chains
are constructed from carbon steel components having
the highest level of wear resistance and strength.
Chain strength is normally defined by its allowable
working load. This value is one at which the chain can
be expected to operate at or below for an indefinite
period of time. It is very important to remember that
allowable working load is a function of Ultimate
Tensile Strength but not actually measured using the
same criteria. Chains can have very different allowable
working loads but have very similar Ultimate Tensile
Strengths. Contact Drives, Inc. application engineering
for more information if chain strength is a critical
factor in your application.

Cost:

Cost is normally dependent upon the material used to


produce the chain. Stainless Steel chains are considerably more costly to produce than carbon based chains.
However, if the environment requires a chain with
exceptional corrosion resistance, the use of carbon
steel based chains may provide the user with a lower
priced product, but ultimately incurs a higher cost of
operation.

Depending on the specific component, Drives, Inc. produces 300 series stainless from 301, 302, 303 or 304
material. These materials provide excellent resistance to most corrosive agents as well as temperature
extremes beyond the capability of carbon steel chain. 300 series chains normally have very low magnetic
permeability essentially non-magnetic and when used in conjunction with 300 series sprockets, can be
considered non-sparking.

Drives, Incorporated Corrosion Resistant Chain Products


Stainless Steel Material Selection
304 Stainless Steel Series
The primary use of 304 stainless steel chain
is in corrosive and/or high temperature
environments, which shorten life of standard
carbon steel roller chains. Drives, Incorporated offers both chain and attachments in
304 stainless steel. The 304 stainless steel
chains give excellent resistance to corrosion
and high temperatures. 304 stainless steel is
generally considered non-magnetic but may
have some degree of permeability due to
machining of some parts.

316 Stainless Steel Series


The primary use of 316 stainless steel chain
is in highly corrosive and/or extreme temperatures, which shorten the life of 304
stainless steel chains. Drives, Incorporated
offers both chain and attachments in 316
stainless steel on a made-to-order basis.
The 316 stainless steel chains are our highest
corrosion resistant chains. It also has the
highest resistance to extreme temperatures.
The 316 stainless steel series chains are
sometimes referred to as the non-magnet
series because of its extremely low magnetic
permeability.

400 and 600 Stainless


Steel Series
The primary use of 400 and 600 stainless
steel chain is in corrosive and/or high
temperature environments, which shortens
the life of standard carbon steel chain. The
400 and 600 stainless steel chains have less
corrosion resistance than 304 stainless
steel, but the hardened round parts
provide for better wear life than 304
stainless steel chains. These chains are
excellent for drive applications, which
normally have a high number of articulations.

Specialty Stainless

317, 400 and 600 Stainless Steel and other
specialty corrosion resistant chain products

Extended Life CHPTM Series Chain Products


Up until now there have been many attempts to produce
roller chains capable of operating without lubrication.
These attempts have focused on either sealing a fixed
volume of lubricant inside the joint during manufacturing or
by providing certain chain components produced from
porous materials reported to retain and disperse lubricant
as the chain requires. These types of solutions are often
only offered in limited sizes and attachments may not be
available.
Sealed joint chains are just that sealed. Once the internal
reservoir of lubricant is exhausted there is no method of
replenishing that supply in service. Additionally, many
environments are unsuitable for these type of chains due to
speeds, loads, temperatures, chemicals or abrasives that
can destroy or dislodge the seals.
Porous component chains are often hindered in similar
ways as sealed chains. Typically, their ability to transmit
high loads and their temperature ranges are limited. Some
are produced with rollers by using a porous bushing
material with a thicker cross-section and a thinner roller
causing impact load issues. Dry, dusty or abrasive
conditions can reduce the operating life of these types of
products.
Chain elongation, due to wear, is the primary mode of
failure in most roller chain drives. Wear is the result of
abrasion between the pin and bushing. The rate of wear
between these two components is often accelerated by the
operating environment or the inability to adequately
provide lubricant to these parts.

Installation and Drive Arrangements


Speed Ratio and Chain Wrap
The speed ratio of roller chain can range up to 7:1 under normal operating conditions.
However, a speed ratio of 10:1 is possible if the speed is very slow. Chain wrap on the small
sprocket must be at least 120 degrees.

Distance Between Shafts


Sprockets can be separated by any distance as long as their teeth do not touch. Optimum
distance is 30 to 50 times the pitch of the chain being used except when there is a pulsating
load. In such cases, the distance should be up to 20 times the pitch of the chain used.

Position
Roller chains are ideally installed in a horizontal position. If the chain drive must be in a
vertical position the wear life of the chain will be reduced because of the effect of gravity.

Slack

Fig. A

Generally, the slack of a roller chain should be


on the lower side (see Fig. A). Adequate slack
(SS) is 4% of the span for normal drives. In
the following cases, the slack should be about
2% of the span:

Encourage customers
who are replacing
worn chain to also
replace sprockets.
Chain life is reduced
when chain and
sprockets
are not replaced at the
same time.

a. Vertical drive or close to vertical


drive.
b. Center distance between two
shafts is greater than 3 Ft.
c. Chain is operated under heavy load and high frequency of on and off drive.
d. Direction of the drive is often changed.

Position of Sprocket
The two shafts should be parallel and
preferably in a horizontal position. Sprockets should be firmly installed. (See Figs. B
and C)
Use a straight edge to check that the two
sprockets are installed along the same
horizontal plane.

Lubrication Increases the Service Life
One of the most important factors in getting the best possible performance out of your
roller chain is proper lubrication. No matter how well a transmission system is designed, if it
is not properly lubricated, its service life will be shortened.

Lubrication
Wear between the pin and bushing causes the roller
chain to elongate. These parts should, therefore, be
well lubricated. The gap between the pin link plate and
the roller link plate on the slack side of the chain
should be filled with oil. This oil forms a film which
minimizes wear on the pin and bushing, thus increasing
the chains service life. It also reduces noise and acts as
a coolant when the chain runs at high speeds.

Suggested Lubricants
Only high quality oil should be used to lubricate the
roller chain. Neither heavy oil nor grease is suitable.
The viscosity of the oil used will depend on the chain
size, chain speed and ambient temperature. The
lubricants suggested for specific temperature ranges
are given in the table to the right

The number of supply holes
should equal Z + 1 where Z is

The amount of oil supplied to
each hole is constant.
Regardless of the lubricating system used,
the roller chain must be cleaned
periodically. Examine the pin and bushing
after removing the chain. Any damage or
reddish-brown color on their surfaces
indicate that the system is not being
adequately lubricated.

The following three lubricating systems are suggested:
System A

Manual Lubrication (System A - top)


Oil is applied with an oil filler or brush in the gap
between the pin link and roller link on the slack side
of the chain. It should be applied about every eight
hours or as often as necessary to prevent the
bearing area of the chain from becoming dry.
Always turn off and lockout the power switch
before lubricating or servicing a chain system.

Drip Lubrication (System A - bottom)


A simple casing can be used. The oil is supplied by
drip feed. Each strand of chain should ordinarily
receive 5 to 20 drops of oil per minute, according to
increases in the chain speed.
Customer Service
provides immediate
feedback on lead times.
Sales service and
product managers
await your call.

System B

Oil Bath Lubrication (System B - top)


A leak proof casing is required. The chain dips into
the oil at bottom of casing. The sprocket should
dip into the oil approximately 1/2. If the sprocket
is immersed more than 1/2 too much heat is
generated.

Lubrication by Slinger Disc (System B bottom)


A leak proof casing is required. The chain does not
need to dip into the oil at the bottom of casing. The
slinger disc should dip into the oil from 1/2 to 1.

System C

1-800-435-0782

Lubrication Using a Pump (System C)


Use a leak-free casing. A pump is used to circulate
the oil which is then cooled. (See Table V for lubrication supply holes.)

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Excessive noise

Possible Causes
Misalignment of sprockets
Loose casings or bearings
Too little or too much slack
Chain and/or sprocket wear
Inadequate lubrication or no
lubrication

Chain pitch size too large


Chain vibration

Resonance to the vibration cycle of

machine to be installed
High load fluctuation

What to Do
Realign sprockets and shafts
Tighten set-bolts
Adjust centers or idler take-up
Replace chain and/or sprocket
Lubricate properly
Check chain drive selection
Change vibration cycle of chain or
machine
Use torque converter or fluid
coupling

Wear on inside of link plate and one


side of sprocket teeth.

Misalignment

Realign sprockets and shafts

Chain climbs sprockets

Excessive chain wear


Excessive chain slack
Heavy overload

Replace chain
Adjust centers or idler take-up
Reduce load or install stronger chain

Broken pins, bushings or rollers

Chain speed is too high for pitch and

Use shorter pitch chain or install


larger diameter sprockets
Reduce shock load or install stronger
chain
Remove material build-up or install
side gashed sprockets (mud relief)
Lubricate properly
Install anti-corrosive chain or
sprockets

sprocket size

Heavy shock or suddenly applied


loads

Material build-up in sprocket tooth


pockets

Inadequate lubrication
Chain or sprocket corrosion
Chain clings to sprocket

Center distance too long or high load

Adjust the center distance or install


idler take-up
Same as above
Replace chain

Chain gets stiff

Misalignment
Inadequate lubrication
Corrosion
Excessive load
Material build-up in chain joint
Peening of link plate edges

Realign sprockets and shafts


Lubricate properly
Replace with anti-corrosive chain
Reduce load or replace with chain or
suitable strength
Shield drive from foreign matter
Check for chain interference

Breakage of link plate

Subjected to shock load


Vibration
Moment of load inertia is too large

Reduce shock (e.g., install a shock


absorber)
Install a device to absorb vibration
(e.g., tensioner idler wheel)
Chain section should be checked
(increase number of strands or select
next larger size chain)

fluctuation
Excessive chain slack
Excessive chain wear

corrosion and moisture


resistant chains
to fit your application

Drives, Inc. is ready to assist you in providing a full line of moisture and
corrosion resistant chains to suit your application.

Stainless Steel Chain


Stainless steel offers the greatest resistance to corrosion and temperature
extremes. Drives, Inc. manufacturers 300 series roller chains in the most
commonly used sizes. 300 series stainless provides an excellent resistance to corrosion but is less wear resistant that carbon steel. If your
application requires an alternative stainless; heat treated components for
increased wear or different chemistry for extreme corrosion resistance,
contact Drives, Inc. application engineering.

Nickel-Plated Chain
Nickel-Plated chains are designed to resist incidental contact or exposure
to water or water based wash-down operations. Drives, Inc. applies an
electroless nickel plating to the component parts prior to assembly to
insure complete coverage of all exposed carbon material. Special attention is
placed on after-plating processes to virtually remove the possibility of hydrogen
embrittlement a common occurrence in lesser quality chains.

Silver Shield CRTM Series Chains


Silver Shield CR series chains are available for those applications
that may be subjected to mildly caustic or acidic environments.
Silver Shield CR chains consist of Drives, Inc.s standard carbon steel
components, specially coated with a Zinc Aluminum compound. This
compound, combined with a polymer based resin, tightly adheres to the
components during a high temperature baking process. This combination, quality carbon steel components and environmental resistant
coating, provides the best alternative to stainless in applications where
stainless has historically been the only option.

All products are configured to meet the needs of the application


Drives, Inc. offers Stainless, Nickel-Plated and Silver Shield CR materials and coatings in commonly used sizes - in standard packaged lengths or
cut-to-length as required. Additionally, attachment link plates and
extended pins are readily available for the most commonly requested
ANSI power transmission and extended pitch conveyor chains. Contact
Drives, Inc. for the specific availability of the size and configuration your
application requires.
Caution: Do not weld or torch-cut nickel plated or Silver Shield CR coated chains.
Consult Drives, Inc. Engineering for application information.

The overall requirements of the application are


important when selecting the correct type of roller
or conveyor chain. The factors that most often
define what chain combination should be used are:
resistance to the environment, wear life / strength
and total cost.
Below are some characteristics to consider when
selecting the chain that best suits the application.

Environment Resistance:

The chain selected should be capable of resisting


the majority of the chemical and/or temperature
requirements. If the environment is ambient in
temperature, then only chemical presence need be
addressed. Drives, Inc. Stainless, Nickel-Plated or
Silver Shield CR chains may be considered depending upon the severity of the chemical environment. If the environment is one which is elevated
or sub-zero, Stainless Steel chains will most often
provide the best overall operation.

Wear Life / Strength:

If satisfactory chain life is defined as extended wear,


then carbon steel based products are best suited.
Drives, Inc. Nickel-Plated or Silver Shield CR
chains are constructed from carbon steel components having the highest level of wear resistance
and strength.
Chain strength is normally defined by its allowable
working load. This value is one at which the chain
can be expected to operate at or below for an indefinite period of time. It is very important to remember that allowable working load is a function of
Ultimate Tensile Strength but not actually measured
using the same criteria. Chains can have very
different allowable working loads but have very
similar Ultimate Tensile Strengths. Contact
Drives, Inc. application engineering for more
information if chain strength is a critical factor
in your application.

Cost:

Cost is normally dependent upon the material used


to produce the chain. Stainless Steel chains are
considerably more costly to produce than carbon
based chains. However, if the environment requires a chain with exceptional corrosion resistance, the use of carbon steel based chains may
provide the user with a lower priced product, but
ultimately incurs a higher cost of operation.

Extended Life CHP Series Chain Products

Up until now there have been many attempts to


produce roller chains capable of operating without
lubrication. These attempts have focused on either
sealing a fixed volume of lubricant inside the joint
during manufacturing or by providing certain chain
components produced from porous materials reported
to retain and disperse lubricant as the chain requires.
These types of solutions are often only offered in
limited sizes and attachments may not be available.
Sealed joint chains are just that sealed. Once the
internal reservoir of lubricant is exhausted there is no
method of replenishing that supply in service. Additionally, many environments are unsuitable for these
type of chains due to speeds, loads, temperatures,
chemicals or abrasives that can destroy or dislodge
the seals.
Porous component chains are often hindered in
similar ways as sealed chains. Typically, their ability
to transmit high loads and their temperature ranges
are limited. Some are produced with rollers by
using a porous bushing material with a thicker crosssection and a thinner roller causing impact load
issues. Dry, dusty or abrasive conditions can reduce
the operating life of these types of products.
Chain elongation, due to wear, is the primary mode
of failure in most roller chain drives. Wear is the
result of abrasion between the pin and bushing.
The rate of wear between these two components is
often accelerated by the operating environment or
the inability to adequately provide lubricant to
these parts.

The following procedure is useful for economical and quick chain selection.
Step 1: Confirm the operating conditions of the conveyor
Step 2: Tentatively select the chain size
Step 3: Calculate the design chain tension (actual chain tension)
Step 4: Calculate design pull
Step 5: Calculate chain tensions
Step 6: Verify the chain selection

Step 1: Confirm the operating conditions of the conveyor


The following information is needed to design a chain conveyor.
1. Type of conveyor (slat conveyor, bucket elevator, etc.)
2. Method of chain travel (horizontal, inclined, or vertical conveyor)
3. Type, weight, and size of materials to be conveyed
4. Weight of materials to be transported per foot of conveyor length
5. Conveyor speed
6. Conveyor length
7. Lubrication
8. Considerations for special environments

Step 2: Tentatively select the chain size


To tentatively select the chain size, estimate the chain tension (P) by the formulas on the following page. A chain
with an allowable load equal to or over the below calculated chain tension may be tentatively selected. Use the
following formulas to estimate the chain weight for this step.

Estimated Chain Weight for Selection


For Chain Rolling: Chain Weight
W=(0.002) (M) (C)
For Chain Sliding: Chain Weight
W=(0.004) (M) (C)

Where:

M = Weight of Material Being Conveyed on Conveyor (Lbs./Ft.)


(See Table VI)
C = Center Distance Between Sprockets

Step 3: Calculate chain tension
Next, the chain tension should be calculated using the actual weight of the conveyor chain and material conveyed.

CONVEYOR CHAIN PULL FORMULAS

Step 4: Calculate Design Pull (DP)
DP = P x V x E (See Tables IV & V)
Using Table V under conveyor speed, read down to the number nearest 1.00 (this will be in the vicinity of the
heavy dividing line). Read across to the left to obtain the optimum sprocket size. If space limitations require using
smaller sprockets, read across from the right from the number of teeth to the column under conveyor speed obtain the Speed Correction Factor (E).

Step 5: Calculate Chain Tensions (T)


Single strand conveyor

T = DP

Double strand conveyor T = (DP) (1.2) /2


Triple strand conveyor

Note: The 1.2 multiplier is used to


provide for possible overload in
one strand due to unequal load
distribution.

T = (DP) (1.2) /3

More than three strands Consult Drives, Incorporated Engineering

Step 6: Verify the Chain Selection


Compare the chain tension of Step 5 to the maximum recommended working load for the chain. The chain
tension should be less than the working load. If the chain tension is much smaller than the working load, try the
next smaller chain size. If the chain tension is greater than the working load, try the next larger chain size.
Repeat Steps 3-5 for the new chain size.

Drives, Incorporated Caterpillar Drive

Drive Chain
Caterpillar Drive Chains
Caterpillar Drive Chains are essential in driving drop
forged chain conveyors. Drives, Inc. USA Caterpillar
Drive Chains provide high fatigue life and are designed to
perform flawlessly with forged rivetless chains.
Drives, Inc. USA Caterpillar Drive Chains feature all
ballized plates to ensure maximum bearing area for
optimum press fits. This improves fatigue life and
working loads. We use wide waist link plates with
maximized ball heights to improve stress distribution
that also increases fatigue strength and reduces vibration.
The use of through hardened pins that are micro ground
and shotpeened provides maximum pin to bushing
surface contact for extended wear and protection from
any unpredictable overload. Hardened hook cotters* are
used to resist shearing and hold their place in the most
rigorous of applications.
Our one-piece forged drive dog is induction hardened in
the chain contact bearing area for wear resistance. The
balance of the drive dog is through hardened for
strength and durability.

Sprocket
Pintle Sprocket
Features

Annular Rings and Mud


Clearance

Premium quality cast sprockets

The Annular Ring contacts the bottom edge of the pintle


chain link, relieving the chain barrel and sprocket tooth face
of the chain load. This extends the service life of both the
chain and the sprockets.

Made to ANSI specifications


Design includes Annular Ring
Design includes Mud Clearance
Plain bore or keyway & two set screws
Hubs are precision machined
Available for Drives #662 and #667X
Pintle chain

The Mud Clearance feature consists of narrowing the


bottom diameter of the sprocket in between the teeth
where it contacts the chain barrel. This allows debris to
escape and prevents sprocket tooth build-up.

Drives, Incorporated Agricultural Conveyor


Chains are steel chains designed to operate on
cast, machined or flame-cut sprockets. They are
used in place of other style chains where the
applications require greater wear resistance and
strength.

Made of hardened steel parts and built to close


tolerances, these are high quality chains that run
quietly, provide maximum strength and longer wear
life within their service range.

Lubrication Increases the Service Life
Manufacturer of:
USA ANSI
Power Transmission
Roller Chains
Conveyor Chain
Products

Auger Products
Engineering Class
Chains

One of the most important factors in getting the best possible performance out of your
roller chain is proper lubrication. No matter how well a transmission system is designed, if
it is not properly lubricated, its service life will be shortened.

Lubrication
Wear between the pin and bushing causes chain to
elongate. These parts should, therefore, be well
lubricated. The clearance between the pin link plate
and the roller link plate on the slack side of the chain
should be filled with oil. This oil forms a film which
minimizes wear on the pin and bushing, thus increasing the chains service life. It also reduces noise and
acts as a coolant when the chain runs at high speeds.

Suggested Lubricants
Only high quality oil should be used to lubricate
chain. Neither heavy oil nor grease is suitable. The
viscosity of the oil used will depend on the chain
size, chain speed, and ambient temperature. The
lubricants suggested for specific temperature ranges
are given in the table to the right.
Note: Chains with thru hardened pins may wear at
an increased rate if they lack adequate effective
lubrication.

Standard Lubricating Systems:


Manual Lubrication
Oil is applied with an oil filler or brush in the gap
between the pin link and roller link on the slack side
of the chain. It should be applied about every eight
hours or as often as necessary to prevent the
bearing area of the chain from becoming dry.
Always turn off and lockout the power switch
before lubricating or servicing a chain system.

1-800-435-0782

Drip Lubrication
A simple casing can be used. The oil is supplied by
drip feed. Each strand of chain should ordinarily
receive 5 to 20 drops of oil per minute, according
to increases in the chain speed.

Corrosion Resistant
Attachment Chain
Silver Shield CRTM Attachment Chain

Silver Shield CRTM Attachment Chain


Drives Inc. recognizes that industry requires an option when the strength of carbon steel and some degree of
corrosion resistance is required. For these reasons, we have engineered Silver Shield CR to provide industries this needed option. Silver Shield CR is constructed using our standard high-quality carbon components
that have been specially coated using a Zinc-Aluminum compound. After coating, a
protective polymer resin is applied and baked to insure complete resistance to abrasion and flaking.
Silver Shield CR is specifically designed to resist corrosion in mildly acidic or caustic environments.
For more information, contact Drives, Inc. application engineering for specific application criteria.
Equal in strength to carbon steel chains
Equal in wear resistance to carbon steel chains
Protective coating is applied to all parts for uniform and complete protection

Precision Attachment Roller Chain Products


Selection Guide
Drives, Incorporated ANSI single and double pitch roller chain is widely used for conveyor
service. The following procedure is useful for economical and quick chain selection.
Step 1: Confirm the operating conditions of the conveyor
Step 2: Tentatively select the chain size
Step 3: Calculate the design chain tension (actual chain tension)
Step 4: Verify the chain selection
Step 5: Verify the allowable roller load

Step 1: Confirm the operating conditions of the


conveyor
The following information is needed to design a chain conveyor.
1. Type of conveyor (slat conveyor, bucket elevator, etc.)
2. Method of chain travel (horizontal, inclined, or vertical conveyor)
3. Type, weight, and size of materials to be conveyed
4. Weight of materials to be transported per foot of conveyor length
5. Conveyor speed
6. Conveyor length
7. Lubrication
8. Considerations for special environments

Step 2: Tentatively select the chain size


To tentatively select the chain size, estimate the chain tension (P) by the following formula. A
chain with an allowable load equal to or over the below calculated chain tension may be
tentatively selected.
P (lbs.) = MT x f x k1
MT

Total weight of material conveyed (lbs.)

Coefficient of friction, sliding and/or rolling (fr fs Table I, II or III)

k1

Chain speed coefficient (Table V)

C = Sprocket center distance


n = Small sprocket speed (RPM)
N = Number of teeth small sprocket
Pc = Chain Pitch (in.)
P = Chain Tension (lbs.)

Step 5: Verify the chain


selection
Multiply the chain tension (P) by the chain
speed coefficient (k1) listed in Table V and
verify the following formula.
P x k1 < Max. allowable load of the chain
When the design chain tension (P x k1) is
over the allowable load or much less than
it, try the same steps again for the next
bigger or smaller chain size to select a
more suitable chain.

Step 6: Verify the


allowable roller load

1-800-435-0782

When the load is carried on the rollers,


the total weight of the chain and load per
roller should not exceed the allowable
roller load shown in Table VI.

Points to Consider:
1. For long conveyors, use take-up devices to eliminate chain slack.
Take-up stroke = (center distance between sprockets x 0.02) + catenary sag allowance.
2. Chain must always be engaged with at least 3 sprocket teeth.
3. When two or more strands of conveyor chain operate together, all sprocket teeth
on the head shaft should be aligned. The chain may be matched at the factory for
uniform length and attachment alignment for accurate multiple strand operation.

Drives, Incorporated Corrosion Resistant Chain Products


Stainless Steel Material Selection
304 Stainless Steel Series
The primary use of 304 stainless steel chain
is in corrosive and/or high temperature
environments, which shorten life of standard
carbon steel roller chains. The 304 stainless
steel chains give excellent resistance to
corrosion and high temperatures. 304
stainless steel is generally considered nonmagnetic.

316 Stainless Steel Series


The primary use of 316 and 317 stainless
steel chain is in highly corrosive and/or
extreme temperatures, which shorten the
life of 304 stainless steel chains.

400 and 600 Stainless


Steel Series
The primary use of 400 and 600 stainless
steel chain is in corrosive and/or high
temperature environments, which shortens
the life of standard carbon steel chain. The
400 and 600 stainless steel chains have less
corrosion resistance than 304 stainless
steel, but the hardened round parts
provide for better wear life than 304
stainless steel chains. These chains are
designed for drive applications,
which normally have a high number
of articulations.

bushing. Anti-corrosive roller chains are normally intended to be
used at slow speed without lubrication. Chain selection should be
made based on the bearing pressure as shown below.
