Measuring your roller chain starts with determining the below dimensions: The distance from the center of one pin to the center of the next pin, also known as the “pitch” of the roller chain. The diameter and width of the roller. Plate thickness, determined by measuring the plates from one flat side to another.
How do you calculate chain size?
- Overall width of the chain.
- The diameter and width of the roller.
- The thickness of the plate.
- Overall height of the chain.
What size is 40 roller chain?
| Chain Size Pitch (P) Weight (Per Ft) | #35-1 0.375′′ 0.22 LBS | #40-1 0.500′′ 0.42 LBS | #41-1 0.500′′ 0.28 LBS |

What size is a 35 roller chain?
| Size Pitch (P) Weight (Per Ft) | 35-2 0.375′′ 0.46 LBS | 35-3 0.375′′ 0.70 LBS | 35-4 0.375′′ 0.95 LBS |

What’s the difference between 520 and 525 chains?
The 5 part just describes the distance between the centers of the link pins (or wherever on the links, basically how long a link is) and the next two numbers describe the width of the chain. So
a 520 chain is going to be narrower than a 525(and thus require a narrower front and rear sprocket) and lighter
…
What are the different sizes of roller chain?
There are 14 sizes of roller chains regulated by ANSI . For easy reference, these are numbered
25, 35, 41, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, and 240
. Some manufacturers include chain numbers 320 and 400 to the list of standardized chains.
How do you match a chain and sprocket?
What’s the difference between 40 and 41 chain?
#40 will be the beefiest chain in this class. This will help with thicker sprockets since there is more room between the side plates.
#41 will look just like the #420 chain, but will stand shorter
.
What is #40 chain used for?
Some common applications for 40 roller chain include
drive systems, agricultural equipment, industrial equipment
and much more. This 40 roller chain is commonly used in lighter duty applications and not commonly seen in heavy duty applications. This power transmission chain conforms with the ANSI/ASME B29.
How long is 120 Link 35 chain?
| Engine: All | Recommended Applications: High Horsepower | Length: 45′′ | Links 120 | Color: Gold/Black |
|---|
How do you measure a sprocket for a chain?
What is a #25 chain?
#25 roller chain is
a 1/4′′ pitch ANSI Standard roller chain designed for light-duty or space confined applications
. It’s the smallest size roller chain on the ANSI spectrum of roller chains but offers ample performance, strength, and durability for its small form factor.
Can I use a 525 sprocket with 520 chain?
A 525 chain may run on 520 sprockets
, but a 520 chain is too narrow to run on 525 sprockets.
What does 530 mean on a chain?
You will find that 525, 530, and 50 chains will all fit on most sprockets. because they have the same pitch, or distance between the centers of the. hardened steel pins in the center of the rollers. It’s
5/8th’s of an inch
. 630 chain has a wider pitch, 3/4th’s of an inch between pin centers…
Will a 530 chain fit a 520 sprocket?
A 530 chain on a 520 sprocket will work just fine
, a 532 will not. The differance between a 520 and 530 is the width, the roller diamiter and pitch are the same.
What is 48 roller chain?
This 48B-1 roller chain is
a precision metric roller chain that is manufactured according to British Standard ISO standards
. 48B-1 roller chain is typically supplied as 10ft boxes or 5-meter boxes but it is available in other lengths upon request.
How do I know what size sprocket to get?
To measure the chain size, if you have just the sprocket,
use calipers to measure between the teeth
. Measure from center to center of where the chain roller would set between the teeth that will give you the pitch. Once you know the pitch you can determine what chain size you would need.
Whats the difference between 520 and 530 chain?
A 520 chain is a smaller pitch chain
. Pitch being the distance between rollers. The 520 is a lighter weight chain than the 530. That is why people switch to the 520, but it may not last as long as a 530.
What is the pitch of a roller chain?
Taking a quick time out for a review of definitions—the pitch of a roller chain is
the distance between the center of one pin to the center of the next pin
.
How do I know what size Go Kart chain I need?
Go-kart chain numbers
take the first letter from the pitch. And the last 1 or 2 digits from the roller width
. For example a 420 chain has a pitch of 4/8-inches and a 520 chain has a pitch of 5/8-inches. To start measuring your chain size you need to start at the sprocket.
Is 41 and 415 chain the same?
The #41 chain is a strong alternative chain that replaces the 415 & 410 motorized bike chains
. (under options select sizes to order 4-8 foot lengths, includes 1 master link) Fits all Manic Mechanic sprockets!
What is a 420 chain?
–
All PEER roller chains incorporate solid rollers enhancing rotation on the
.
bushing while reducing impact loads on the sprocket tooth during operation
. – All chain components are heat treated to achieve maximum strength. and greater wear resistance.
