ROLLER CHAIN
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. It consists of a series of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links. It is driven by a toothed wheel called a sprocket. It is a simple, reliable, and efficient means of power transmission.
CHAIN STRENGTH
The most common measure of roller chain’s strength is tensile strength. Tensile strength represents how much load a chain can withstand under a one-time load before breaking. Just as important as tensile strength is a chain’s fatigue strength. The critical factors in a chain’s fatigue strength is the quality of steel used to manufacture the chain, the heat treatment of the chain components, the quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot plus the intensity of shot peen coverage on the linkplates. Other factors can include the thickness of the linkplates and the design (contour) of the linkplates. The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous drive is for the chain load to not exceed a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain’s tensile strength, depending on the type of master links used (press-fit vs. slip-fit)[citation needed]. Roller chains operating on a continuous drive beyond these thresholds can and typically do fail prematurely via linkplate fatigue failure.
The standard minimum ultimate strength of the ANSI 29.1 steel chain is 12,500 x (pitch, in inches)2. X-ring and O-Ring chains greatly decrease wear by means of internal lubricants, increasing chain life. The internal lubrication is inserted by means of a vacuum when riveting the chain together.

Standards organizations (such as ANSI and ISO) maintain standards for design, dimensions, and interchangeability of transmission chains. For example, the following Table shows data from ANSI standard B29.1-2011 (Precision Power Transmission Roller Chains, Attachments, and Sprockets) developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). See the references[8][9][10] for additional information.

For mnemonic purposes, below is another presentation of key dimensions from the same standard, expressed in fractions of an inch (which was part of the thinking behind the choice of preferred numbers in the ANSI standard):
| Pitch (inches) | Pitch expressed in eighths |
ANSI standard chain number |
Width (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1⁄4 | 2⁄8 | 25 | 1⁄8 |
| 3⁄8 | 3⁄8 | 35 | 3⁄16 |
| 1⁄2 | 4⁄8 | 41 | 1⁄4 |
| 1⁄2 | 4⁄8 | 40 | 5⁄16 |
| 5⁄8 | 5⁄8 | 50 | 3⁄8 |
| 3⁄4 | 6⁄8 | 60 | 1⁄2 |
| 1 | 8⁄8 | 80 | 5⁄8 |
Notes:
1. The pitch is the distance between roller centers. The width is the distance between the link plates (i.e. slightly more than the roller width to allow for clearance).
2. The right-hand digit of the standard denotes 0 = normal chain, 1 = lightweight chain, 5 = rollerless bushing chain.
3. The left-hand digit denotes the number of eighths of an inch that make up the pitch.
4. An “H” following the standard number denotes heavyweight chain. A hyphenated number following the standard number denotes double-strand (2), triple-strand (3), and so on. Thus 60H-3 denotes number 60 heavyweight triple-strand chain.
A typical bicycle chain (for derailleur gears) uses narrow 1⁄2-inch-pitch chain. The width of the chain is variable, and does not affect the load capacity. The more sprockets at the rear wheel (historically 3-6, nowadays 7-12 sprockets), the narrower the chain. Chains are sold according to the number of speeds they are designed to work with, for example, “10 speed chain”. Hub gear or single speed bicycles use 1/2″ x 1/8″ chains, where 1/8″ refers to the maximum thickness of a sprocket that can be used with the chain.
Typically chains with parallel shaped links have an even number of links, with each narrow link followed by a broad one. Chains built up with a uniform type of link, narrow at 1 and broad at the other end, can be made with an odd number of links, which can be an advantage to adapt to a special chainwheel-distance; on the other side such a chain tends to be not so strong.
Roller chains made using ISO standard are sometimes called as isochains.

What are the safety precautions when working with bush chains?
Working with bush chains requires adherence to certain safety precautions to ensure the well-being of operators and prevent accidents. Here are some important safety measures to consider:
1. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Operators should wear appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing, to protect themselves from potential hazards such as flying debris, pinching, or entanglement.
2. Training and knowledge: Operators should be properly trained in the operation and maintenance of bush chains. They should have a thorough understanding of the equipment, including its components, functions, and potential hazards. Training should cover safe operating procedures, including start-up, shutdown, and emergency procedures.
3. Lockout/tagout procedures: Before performing any maintenance or repair work on a bush chain, proper lockout/tagout procedures should be followed. This involves isolating the power source, de-energizing the equipment, and securing it with lockout devices or tags to prevent accidental startup.
4. Regular inspections: Regular inspections should be conducted to identify any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment in the bush chain. This includes checking for loose bolts, worn sprockets, damaged links, or any other issues that could compromise the chain’s integrity. Any identified problems should be promptly addressed to prevent further damage or accidents.
5. Proper lifting and handling: When handling bush chains, proper lifting techniques should be employed to prevent strain or injury. Chains should be lifted using appropriate lifting equipment, and operators should avoid placing themselves in a position where they could be caught between moving parts.
6. Clean and well-maintained work environment: The work area should be clean, well-lit, and free from clutter or obstructions. This ensures that operators have clear visibility and can safely access the bush chain without tripping or other hazards.
7. Follow manufacturer guidelines: It is important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for the safe use, maintenance, and inspection of the specific bush chain being used.

Can a bush chain be retrofitted into an existing system?
Yes, a bush chain can be retrofitted into an existing system in many cases. Retrofits are common when there is a need to upgrade or replace the existing chain with a more efficient or higher-quality option. The process of retrofitting a bush chain typically involves the following steps:
1. Evaluation of the existing system: The first step is to assess the existing system and determine if a bush chain can be installed. Factors such as space availability, compatibility with existing components, and load requirements need to be considered.
2. Selection of the appropriate bush chain: Once the system has been evaluated, the next step is to select the appropriate bush chain for the retrofit. This involves considering factors such as pitch, size, strength, and material compatibility to ensure a proper fit and optimal performance.
3. Modification of the system: Depending on the design of the existing system, some modifications may be required to accommodate the bush chain. This could involve adjusting the sprockets, modifying the chain guides, or making other necessary changes to ensure proper alignment and tensioning.
4. Installation of the bush chain: Once the modifications have been made, the bush chain can be installed into the existing system. This typically involves removing the old chain and replacing it with the new bush chain. Proper tensioning and alignment should be ensured during the installation process.
5. Testing and adjustments: After the bush chain is installed, it is important to conduct thorough testing to ensure proper operation. This includes checking for smooth movement, correct tension, and proper engagement with the sprockets. Any necessary adjustments should be made to optimize performance.
It is important to note that the feasibility of retrofitting a bush chain into an existing system depends on the specific requirements and design of the system. In some cases, additional modifications or adaptations may be needed to ensure compatibility and performance. Consulting with a qualified engineer or chain manufacturer can help determine the best approach for retrofitting a bush chain into an existing system.
How do you select the right bush chain for your application?
Choosing the right bush chain for your application is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a bush chain:
1. Load Capacity: Evaluate the maximum load that the chain will need to transmit. Consider factors such as weight, acceleration, and shock loads. Choose a bush chain with a load capacity that exceeds the anticipated load to ensure reliable operation.
2. Speed: Determine the operating speed of the chain. Higher speeds may require chains with specialized designs to minimize wear, reduce friction, and maintain accurate timing.
3. Environmental Conditions: Assess the environmental conditions in which the chain will operate. Consider factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, chemicals, and exposure to corrosive substances. Select a bush chain that is designed to withstand the specific conditions of your application.
4. Size and Configuration: Determine the required chain size based on the available space and the dimensions of the sprockets or pulleys. Consider the pitch, width, and overall dimensions of the chain. Additionally, assess whether a standard or custom configuration is needed to meet the application requirements.
