Small Roller Chain

Not every chain has to be oversized to be useful! There are plenty of small roller chains which are used in a variety of industrial applications, and are particularly valuable when you have a limited space in which to work. Linking together multiple small roller chains can allow you to duplicate the amount of work managed by larger chains, but without some of the additional space that's required for heavier chains. If you need a small chain or drive to work within a discrete area, then these smaller roller chains may be the perfect option for your next project.

Small Roller Chain Benefits

Of course, any type of tight applications will need a smaller roller chain, but there are plenty of other reasons to get excited about these small chains. When you need a precision application, you don't need the heavy-duty traditional roller chains. Instead, a more petite option will provide you with a higher degree of accuracy and ensure that your systems are working within the correct tolerances.Small roller chains are ideal for printing presses, conveyors and other industrial applications.

About Small Roller Chains

Small roller chains are often used when you need to drive one or multiple shafts at the same time. You can quickly and easily adjust the shaft center distance by adding or removing links. While you could use a belt pulley for some of the same applications, chains are a better choice when you need to drive a significant amount of torque in the same space that you would use for a belt. Using the proper sprocket in concert with the chain helps reduce the overall wear.

Small roller chains are a highly economical choice for applications where you need a lightweight or compact roller chain. PEER Chain offers chains of all sizes, all of which have been manufactured to the highest possible standards. Do you need assistance determining exactly the time of chain that you need for your project? Contact our friendly and knowledgeable professionals at 800-523-4567 or via email to [email protected].
