Roller chains have excellent wear resistance and are therefore of greater importance in mechanical and plant engineering. They are characterised by their diverse applications, for instance as drive chains, conveyor chains, hoist chains etc.&
The chain links, bushings and rollers as well as the axial clearance are adapted to the respective application and so ensure the continuous mobility of the chain. Chain wear due to the roller rolling on the tooth flanks is minimal. The roller is evenly loaded.
Properties:
- Minimal wear
- Constant mobility
- Even loading
Please refer to the respective data sheet for more detailed properties of the individual roller chains.
DIN 8187/ISO 606:2004
Roller chains are classified by DIN standards according to their design. This standardisation ensures that the respective design and construction also corresponds to the purpose of use.
DIN 8187 governs the European series of roller chains. There are further sub-divisions within this standard according to simple, double and triple roller chains. The DIN numbers are also used to catalog the respective dimensions, among other things of the bolt and roller diameter, link height and weight. The chains are pre-stretched with approx. 20-30%.
The admission of ISO 606 into the regulatory body replaces DIN standard 8187 and introduces an international standard.

DIN 8188/ISO 606:2004
Roller chains are categorised by DIN standards depending on their design. This standardisation guarantees that the respective design and construction also correspond to their purpose of use.
DIN 8188 governs the american design of roller chains. There are additional sub-divisions within this standard according to simple, double and triple roller chains. The DIN numbers are also used to catalog the dimensions of bolt and roller diameter, link plate height or weight. The admission of ISO 606 into the regulatory body replaces DIN standard 8188 and introduces an international standard.
