SC Inverted Tooth Chain

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and applications for the 3/16" pitch 'SC' series inverted tooth chains, highlighting their construction, capabilities, and applications.
Specifications: The 'SC' chains use a round pin construction for enhanced strength and durability. They are available in center guide and single outside guide constructions. These chains can handle power capacities up to 4 kW and operate at speeds up to 10,000 rpm. They are typically made from induction-hardened steel, with stainless steel options available for food processing applications.
Applications: The chains are suitable for various applications, including check weighers, postage machinery, copying machines, aircraft controls, machine tools, and conveyors. They are particularly noted for their ability to handle high loads and operate at high speeds in confined spaces.
Chain Dimensions: The document includes detailed tables of chain dimensions for both standard and stainless steel chains, specifying measurements such as chain width, pitch, and average weight per meter.
American Standard Compliance: The 'SC' series chains comply with American Standards ASME(ANSI) B29.2 and are compatible with standard sprockets. They feature a pin and rocker design to minimize friction and wear, allowing for high-speed operation with improved fatigue life and tensile strength.
Ordering Information: When ordering replacement chains, specific details such as chain pitch, width, guiding type, and number of pitches should be provided. The document advises contacting the technical sales department for assistance with chain identification or drive design.

SC Inverted Tooth Chain-1

SC03 - 3/16" Pitch Round Pin Inverted Tooth Chains The 3/16" pitch 'SC' chains use a simple round pin construction for maximum strength and durability. Chains are available in both centre guide and single outside guide constructions in all widths, but it is normal for narrow width chains to be outside guide. The chains articulate fully on the pin, and as such tensioners can be used on the back of the chain; also the chains can be built with sets of teeth opposed to one another for serpentine drives. Tiny drives can be achieved with these chains, with power capacity up to 4 kW, and operating speeds to 10,000 rpm. All 3/16" pitch inverted tooth chain sprockets are manufactured to customer requirements, normally manufactured from induction hardened steel. Complete chain drive design and fabrication is available to meet your individual requirements. A range of Stainless Steel chains is also available for use in Food Process and Handling Machinery. These chains are manufactured from hardened, corrosion resistant, 304 grade Stainless Steel. Chain lengths must be of even number of pitches, as offset links are not available with these series of chains. Typical Applications Check Weighers - used to convey product over scales Postage Machinery - high operating speeds possible Copying Machines - transmit high loads in confined space Aircraft Controls - Accurate transfer of motion Machine Tools - Compact high torque drives Conveyors - handling hot small components Chain Dimensions - 3/16" SC Series Chains Nominal Width Inches Chain Pitch ins(mm) Chain Ht. over Spkt.

American Standard SC Series Inverted Tooth Chains Cross+Morse 'SC' Series Inverted Tooth chains are manufactured to meet the American Standards ASME(ANSI) B29.2, and will operate on Sprockets manufactured to that Standard. Chains of other manufacture, often identified with letters 'SC' stamped on the outer plates, can be replaced, but only as complete chains, because the ASME Standard allows manufacturers individual design within the concept, so although all chains will operate on the standard sprockets, chains from different manufacturers will not usually connect together. All Cross+Morse chains...
