Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Excellent resistance to corrosion and heat that permits use in almost everywhere
There are two kinds of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS form has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Nonetheless, it really is produced totally of austenite stainless steel and as a result its tensile strength is slightly decrease than 70% of a conventional roller chain, and maximum allowable load drops to a bit above 10%.
Through the use of precipitation hardened stainless steel for that pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK type has 1.5 instances higher optimum allowable load in contrast towards the SS type. Decide on SSK if you will need additional power than SS, or need longer solution lifestyle.
Each types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Suggested utilizes
?Problems exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. A variety of chemical plats and water remedy plants.
?Problems of high temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Choice of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has lower normal tensile power and highest allowable load in contrast for the common roller chain.
Connecting back links and offset links
R connecting hyperlinks are applied for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting links for #80 or more substantial. 2POJ offset links are used for sizes #25, and OJ backlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Normal sprockets for Stainless Steel chains is often employed since the dimensions will be the identical as typical roller chains.
Caution
Like a standard residence of stainless steel, tension corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion is often brought on by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on right demonstrates the data of exams to the level of corrosion resistance for each medium and does not ensure the efficiency of the chains. Please take into consideration the ailments, temperature, level as well as other general scenario when working with.
