▍Short Pitch Stainless Steel Roller Chain Overview
Stainless steel short pitch roller chain' dimensions are similar to Standard Series chains with the exception of the pitch, which is twice that of the Standard Series. The increase in pitch means that only half of the component parts are required per foot of chain, which can significantly lower the cost.
The structure and size of stainless steel roller chains meet ISO 606 and other standards, mainly including stainless steel short pitch roller chains, stainless steel short pitch straight edge chain plate roller chains, stainless steel double pitch roller chains, stainless steel extended pin chains, etc., and various corresponding accessories. Using high-quality austenitic and martensitic stainless steel materials, advanced processing technology, and efficient process equipment, the products have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high and low-temperature resistance, cleanness, etc. There are two kinds of products with tensile strength indexes for users to choose from. Stainless steel roller chains are widely used in food processing, dairy products processing, health care, the chemical industry, and other industries.

▍Stainless Steel Roller Chain Standard Material Grades
- 304-Grade Stainless Steel is the most common grade used with our roller chains. It is a non-magnetic material that is highly resistant to corrosion and can operate in temperatures ranging from -200° to +700° Fahrenheit.
- 316-Grade Stainless Steel is the second most common grade used. We typically stock 316-grade stainless steel roller chains in ANSI sizes #25 – #80, but we can supply other sizes and even specialty MTO chains in 316-grade as well. Some of the benefits of using 316-grade stainless steel over 304-grade stainless steel are superior resistance to corrosion, greater resistance to chemical attack, more durable, easier to clean, easier to weld, and in most applications, it will last longer.
- 403-Grade Stainless Steel is primarily used for wastewater application chains but we can manufacture standard and non-standard roller chains out of 403-grade stainless steel upon request. This grade of stainless steel has good impact strength, corrosion, and scaling resistance, and is magnetic.
▍Advantages of Stainless Steel Roller Chain
A stainless steel roller chain has several advantages that make it suitable for use in specific situations:
- It's very resistant to corrosion and is often preferred for use in acidic or alkaline environments where other materials will deteriorate.
- The material can withstand harsh conditions and is very easy to clean. For this reason, it's often used in food processing or pharmaceutical industries where hygiene and cleanliness are essential.
- Stainless steel can withstand extreme temperatures — up to 400 Celsius and down to -20 Celsius — and will still operate effectively without cracking, unlike many other materials.
- It has low magnetic permeability and so is suitable for applications that require the use of materials that aren't easily magnetised (often for medical or electronic equipment).
- Although not as strong as carbon steel and so may wear more quickly, stainless steel roller chains can be heat treated and pre-stressed. This will give even better temperature resistance and will prevent stretching and premature breakage.
▍Stainless Steel Roller Chain Application
Stainless steel roller chains have been used for generations by industry leaders in the manufacturing and agriculture world to transfer power for heavy applications. Stainless steel chain is invaluable because of its capability to perform in the most difficult environments for sustained periods. Having the right chain for each manufacturing component can help to reduce expensive equipment failure and is essential for success. Stainless steel roller chains are often used in situations where corrosion is possible. Having a stainless steel chain in these scenarios is invaluable because it provides structural integrity and withstands environmental stress for long periods.
▍Stainless Steel Roller Chain Sprockets
When looking for a sprocket and chain, you will want to consider the stainless steel sprocket and stainless steel roller chain. This type of sprocket is available in a variety of sizes. There are many advantages to using this type of chain. You will be able to easily clean the stainless steel sprockets, as well.
Stainless steel sprockets and chains are also available with special alloys, which offer better wear resistance. They are particularly effective when combined with a chain that is made from carbon steel. This type of sprocket is also available in custom bore sizes. You can also order a stainless steel sprocket with a keyway or grub screw for a custom fit.
High-temperature roller chains are frequently exposed to acids, alkalis, and water. High temperatures and extreme conditions are other reasons to use stainless steel roller chains. Sprockets and chains are indivisible parts. HZPT offers both products for sale at low prices! Contact now to get more!
