Key specifications

Available sizes

Selecting the right option

Double pitch chain has twice the pitch of the matching standard chain. KCM lists S-type (chain number ends in 0) and R-type (ends in 2) rollers, and R-type chain uses the oversize carrier roller.

Choose hollow pin chain where attachments are fixed through the pin. It is a bushed chain, so check the sprocket and roller type before ordering.

Fitting and use

Tensile strength is the load at which the chain breaks in one pull and is not a working load. Use the maximum allowable load for working loads and choose chain with the selection method in the KCM catalogue.

KCM's replacement guideline, based on measured elongation, is 1.5% where the larger sprocket has 60 teeth or fewer, 1.2% for 61 to 80 teeth, 1.0% for 81 to 100 teeth and 0.8% for 101 or more, where take-up is possible. With fixed shaft centres it is 0.5% to 0.7%.

Insufficient lubrication promotes wear of pins and bushings, which leads to elongation. KCM says to lubricate the clearances between inner and outer links and between the rollers and inner links.

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.
