Roller chains are constructed like a typical chain link structure that is a series of cylindrical rollers connected by links. A rotating sprocket which is connected to the motor moves the chain. The other end of the chain can then be connected to some part of the load.
Standard Series
European Series - BS/ DIN/ ISO
The European series of roller chains are designed for use in mechanical power transmission systems

• American Heavy Series – ASAThe American Heavy Series roller chains are designed using link plates from the next higher size. The thicker link plates provide increased fatigue resistance & are used in drives subjected to heavy shock loads, multiple stops or reversing

• Straight Side Plate Chains - European SeriesThe straight side plate chains are identical to the corresponding European series standard chains except for the straight side plates. The chains have higher fatigue resistance than the standard chains

• Double Pitch Drive Chains - American & European Series The Pitch of the chains is twice that of standard chains while other components have the same dimensions of the corresponding standard chains.
• Double Pitch Conveyor Chains - American Series The chains are similar to pitch power transmissions chains but the link plates have a straight contour and can be produced with standard or large rollers. They are used in conveyer applications where loads are low and speed are moderate.
