Key specifications

Available sizes

Selecting the right option

For ASA chain the number is the pitch in eighths of an inch: 40 is 4/8 in (1/2 in), 60 is 6/8 in (3/4 in), 100 is 10/8 in (1-1/4 in). The figure after the dash is the number of strands.

Choose nickel plated chain where you want corrosion resistance on a standard steel chain design, and the temperature stays between -10 and +60 degrees C. Size it on the nickel plated allowable load, not the steel figure.

Fitting and use

KCM lists clip-type connecting links for sizes 25 to 60 (open and closed clips for 40, 50 and 60) and split-pin type for 80 and larger. Fit the clip or split pin the way KCM shows in its catalogue.

KCM says not to replace damaged parts of a chain with new ones. Replace the whole chain, and check the sprockets when changing chain.

Check that a safety cover is fitted before running a chain drive.
