Our premium 80H roller chain sets the bar for performance, durability, and strength! This chain has a 1.000" (1") pitch and dimensionally conforms to ANSI B29.1 dimensional standards. What sets this 80H heavy roller chain apart from others besides the "premium" branding is; solid bushings & rollers, specially hardened pins, wide-waste side plates, shot peened components, factory pre-loading, and a high-quality factory-applied lubricant. Solid bushings and rollers improve the chains' life and performance while also creating superior contact with the root of the sprocket teeth, improving the sprocket's life. The importance of a perfectly cylindrical round part in a roller chain is often overlooked! When it comes to strength, the pins play a vital role. Interestingly enough, most chain failures occur from pin breakage; using specific heat treatments and hardened techniques, our premium 80H heavy roller chain pins are superior to the "standard" and can withstand higher loads.
