New Miniature .1475 in. Pitch Molded Roller Chain Drives from SDP Feature Unit Link Construction
New Hyde Park, New York - A new ultraminiature inch and metric .1475" Pitch (3.7465 mm Pitch) molded roller chain drive from Stock Drive Products is designed for use where limited space and weight factors are important: such as in stylus or pen assemblies in recorders and X-Y plotters, chart roll drives and counter drives. It is used extensively in severe environment and food processing applications where its noncorrosive, solvent-resistant and nonmagnetic properties are far superior to conventional metallic chain drives.
Molded from Nylatron GS, this drive, identified as Catalog No. A 6M 7-MT is lightweight, nonconductive, self-lubricating and operates with a very low noise level. The chain features a unit-link design that eliminates the need for a master link or special tools for assembly. It compares extremely favorably to and can directly replace .1475" Pitch Stainless Steel roller chain drives at a substantial cost savings. Each link simply snaps into the next one to form any desired length. The chain measures .191" wide and .108" high.
