When should a roller chain be replaced?
A roller chain, commonly used in various mechanical systems such as motorcycles, bicycles, industrial machinery, and more, should be replaced when it shows signs of wear or damage.
How to Determine the Chain Type You're Using
Chains are common components in industrial and mechanical applications, but identifying the type of chain you're using can sometimes be challenging. This article will explain how to determine the chain type (chain no.) you're using, making it easier for you to maintain, replace, or purchase a chain of the same specification.

Roller chain length validation
The measurement of the chain pitch is performed by measuring a specific length of the chain to ensure that the chain pitch conforms to the standard.
Poly Steel Roller Chain
Most chains use metal links for higher strength, but they can be heavy and require frequent lubrication and maintenance. However, for lighter loads and applications that are not lubricated or easily corrode, chains with a combination of engineering plastics and stainless steel can be considered.
Push Out Force
The push out force of a roller chain is the force required to push the pin from the outer plate or the bush from the inner plate. Therefore, it is also called "pushing force" or "pressing force".
NSL Series

What is Roller Chain?
Roller chain is a type of chain that is used in a variety of industries and applications, including the transmission of mechanical power with machinery such as industrial conveyors and automotive industry. MAXTOP roller chain offers full range options for the ANSI and British standard roller chains, which are widely used for material handling, food industry, sawmill industry, automotive/motorcycle, fitness equipment, spiral conveyor and so on.
Introduction to Roller Chain Attachments
Roller chain attachments are used in many applications to achieve various functions; this article helps customer to find the suitable parts.
Introduction to Chain Lubrication
Proper lubrication is the key to optimized operating performance and long working life. Without proper lubrication, even the highest quality chains cannot reach expected working life.
How to inspect your roller chain
Check our roller chain inspection list to find out the probable causes of roller chain wear and action suggested to take.
