Pitch is the single dimension that defines a roller chain more completely than any other. It determines the chain number, the sprocket tooth spacing, the load capacity, the maximum operating speed, and the overall size of the drive system. Yet despite its fundamental...

In most power transmission catalogues, roller chains are listed by pitch, strand count, and material. The link plate profile — the actual shape of the steel side plate that holds the pins — rarely appears as a separate specification. Yet for applications running under...
