Single Pitch Vs Double Pitch Hollow Pin Chains
Single Pitch Vs Double Pitch Hollow Pin Chains
Single-pitch hollow pin chains offer closer joint spacing, while double-pitch configurations can suit longer carrier spacing and reduced articulation count. Selection should follow the actual conveyor geometry and speed.
Carrier Spacing
Use attachment pitch to decide whether every chain pitch is useful or whether a longer pitch matches the product spacing more naturally.
Speed Behavior
Longer pitch can increase polygonal speed variation at a given sprocket tooth count. Review speed stability and sprocket diameter together.
Sprocket Choice
Do not reuse a sprocket solely because the chain model appears related. Confirm the exact tooth form and dimensional family.
