Timken Drives Roller Chain, 100H

RIGOROUS CHAIN FOR MANY APPLICATIONS

Drives has an extensive range of long-lasting products to handle multiple applications – including industrial manufacturing, steel production, oil field, mining, food and beverage processing, and more. Drives chain meets ANSI/ASME standards. Designated chain also meets the latest American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification 7F.

WIDE-WAISTED LINK PLATES Shotpeened wide-waisted link plates on chain sizes 80 through 240 and all heavy series are manufactured with optimal ball heights from special alloy steels for added strength. The wide link plate profile improves stress distribution, leading to increased fatigue resistance and enhanced performance.

PRECISION HOLE QUALITY After heat treatment on chain sizes 80 through 240 and Z series, the link plate pitch holes are ballized, imparting residual compressive stresses and optimum bearing contact between mating pins, bushings and link plates. The ballized pitch hole surface finish increases both chain fatigue resistance (working load) and pin retention.

HOT DIP LUBRICATION Industry-leading production technology is employed to hot-dip each chain. The working life of the chain is greatly extended compared to cold-dip methods. Proprietary lubricants are designed to penetrate and fully coat the bearing surface between pin and bushing

FACTORY PRE-LOAD EXCEEDS ASME STANDARDS Drives pre-loading of our chains exceeds the ASME standards B29.1 and B29.28 30 percent of minimum ultimate tensile strength (MUTS), which is especially important for applications involving fixed center-to-center sprockets without take-ups. Applications can withstand shock loads greater than the ASME standards 30 percent of the chain’s tensile strength with minimum to no initial premature elongation.
