Description
Standard Double Pitch Conveyor Chains
Double Pitch Conveyor Chains are roller chains with a higher pitch than standard roller chains. These chains are often used in conveying applications and come in many styles. They may have straight or bent side-plates, and many have additional features. Custom designs are also available.
Double Pitch Conveyor Chains are commonly used in agriculture, construction, and road building equipment. They can also be used in packaging and textile machinery. Since they have twice the pitch of standard chains, they put less strain on the chain. The sprockets in double pitch chains are typically longer than the standard size.
Double Pitch Chains feature a unique base design. The extended pin allows for a greater range of adjustment. Double Pitch Conveyor Chains can use either R or S rollers and are compatible with standard Double Pitch Chains. In addition, these chains have a black oxide coating on the outer link plates, which improves their precision.
Double Pitch Conveyor Chains are used for conveying loads that require a moderate or low speed. These chains are also available with large rollers. They may have rollers of different sizes and may have a large number of links. In addition, double-pitch conveyor chains may have large rollers for the conveyed load.
Double Pitch Conveyor Chains are commonly used in many manufacturing processes. The sprockets of double-pitch chains must be made with great precision, as they must fit perfectly to ensure accurate positioning.

Double Pitch Conveyor Chains Applications
Double pitch conveyor chains are commonly found in a variety of applications, from light to heavy duty material handling. A well-constructed chain should be able to sustain the load without sacrificing its longevity. Choosing the right one depends on the specific application. The size of the rollers, the length of the chain and the allowable tension are important factors to consider.
Double pitch chains are a useful feature in a variety of applications, from material handling to agriculture. They are available in different styles, configurations and materials. It is best to choose a double pitch chain that suits the needs of the application. Some common styles include the oversized roller and the standard double pitch conveyor chain.
Oversized roller double pitch chains are usually used in applications with a product sitting atop the chain. This provides for smoother rolling action.

Type of Double Pitch Conveyor Chains
When selecting a chain for your conveyor system, it is important to know what you’re getting. Learn about Hollow-pin and S-roller chains. Each type of chain has its own unique benefits and drawbacks, so it is vital to choose the right one for your application. Below is a brief overview of each type. When looking for a double-pitch chain, make sure to compare the following specifications:
Hollow-pin Conveyor Chain
When it comes to conveyor chains, hollow-pin double-pitch options have a few distinct advantages over self-lube and roller chain. This is because the latter type uses rollers and has a much lower maximum allowable load. Moreover, they allow for custom attachments such as cross rods and sprockets to be mounted. In addition, hollow-pin double-pitch options are more versatile than roller chains and are available in stainless steel and carbon steel.
Double-pitch hollow-pin conveyor chains are similar to roller chains, but they come without rollers. Their unique design allows for the insertion of cross rods and other attachments, like mesh nets, in the middle of the chain. These chains fit into standard sprockets and are usually used in tandem with roller chains. Because of their versatility, these chains are commonly used in conveying systems. Because of their low price, they are an excellent investment for any business.
Double-pitch roller chains are the most common type of roller chain in use. They’re commonly used in the auto parts, electrical, and precision machinery industries. They have the same basic construction as standard roller chains, but they have flat-shaped link plates and longer attachments. In terms of specification, Double-pitch chains are governed by ANSI B29.4, ISO 1275-A, and JIS B 1803.

S-roller Conveyor Chain
Double pitch conveyor chains are made with larger roller diameters than standard chains. Double pitch chains are typically used for agricultural and light-duty conveyor applications. The roller diameter is larger than the chain’s side plates to keep the chain in place. Double pitch chains have oversized rollers and are commonly used on conveyors used in cotton fields. They also meet the requirements of the American Standard standards for length and width of plates.
The S-roller is an ideal attachment for short-length conveyors, while the R-roller is made for longer ones. Both have a variety of standard and special attachments. Roller chains are made with cottered connecting links. The cotter-shaft connection design prevents excessive wear, while the pre-loaded rollers reduce initial elongation. They are available in sizes from RF2060 to RF2100.
The C2000 series S-roller is an excellent option for double-pitch chain applications. Larger rollers project above and below the link plates, producing a rolling action. Larger rollers minimize friction across the supporting surface. An S-roller requires at least 30 teeth for maximum efficiency. When choosing a double-pitch roller chain, the maximum tension and roller load are considered. If heavy bending or twisting forces are present, large-pitch chains should be used.
Double Pitch Conveyor Chain Sprocket
Double pitch conveyor chain sprockets are a standard issues in many manufacturing operations. These sprockets are designed with a greater number of teeth and provide better wear life than single pitch sprockets. Double pitch sprockets come in a single or double toothed design. Double pitch conveyor chains have a wider chain pitch and are used for applications that require precise positioning.
The double pitch conveyor chain sprockets are made from flame-cut steel and are precision machined. They are available in two types: A Type and B Type. The B Type is less expensive and uses a single hub, while the C Type has two.

Choosing the right sprocket can help you to keep your chain functioning longer. With the proper selection, you can reduce downtime and maintain the chain’s performance in challenging conditions. Various types of sprockets are available in the market, including double pitch sprockets, split sprockets, and sprocket gears. They are produced in different materials, and are used in a variety of applications.
Sprockets are used in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. Food processing, plastics, and steel-working are some examples of industries that benefit from them. The best sprockets are made from high quality materials and manufactured to provide long life and durability. Sprockets come in a variety of sizes and are commonly manufactured in either bolt-together or one-piece construction. Generally, sprockets are secured to the shaft by a keyway. Depending on the application, you may want to use a standard keyway or a set screw.
