A Brief History of Roller Chains

corrosion resistant chains

Roller chains have been instrumental in the evolution of industrial machinery. The design of modern roller chains is attributed to Hans Renold in 1880. Since then, the design, manufacturing process, and materials used have continued to evolve, leading to the diverse variety of chains available today.

Identifying the Size of Your Roller Chain

Understanding the size of your roller chain is crucial for its installation, repair, and maintenance. The size of a roller chain is typically determined by its pitch, roller diameter, and width between inner plates.

Steps to Determine Roller Chain Size

    1. Measure the pitch – the distance between the centers of two adjacent rollers.

  1. Determine the roller diameter – the width of the roller.
  2. Check the width between inner plates.

These dimensions are usually measured in inches and correspond to a specific ANSI (American National Standards Institute) number, which defines the size of your chain.
