Double pitch roller chain C2060H heavy-duty, pitch 38.1 mm (1 1/2"), stainless steel

Product Description

The stainless C2060H chain is a single-strand chain with an extended (double) pitch 38.1 mm, designed for slow-running conveyors operating in a corrosive environment. Flat, non-profiled side plate (straight plate) provides a continuous, smooth link surface, typical of double-pitch chains. Manufactured in accordance with the standard ANSI/ASME B29.100 for double-pitch chains; as a European manufacturer, we retain the same roller and pin dimensions as in the corresponding standard-pitch chain.

Technical data

Applications

Extended-pitch chains are used in slow-running conveyors, transport accumulators and packaging and bottling lines - the stainless version additionally in washing systems, the food industry, and dryers and ovens operating at elevated temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain has a pitch of 38.1 mm, a roller of 11.91 mm and an inner width of 12.57 mm?

It is the C2060H roller chain according to ISO 1275 / ANSI, single-strand. If the measured chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: double pitch roller chain C2060H heavy-duty, pitch 38.1 mm (1 1/2"), stainless steel. The pitch is measured as the distance between the axes of adjacent pins.

How do you select a stainless C2060H chain for a drive or conveyor?

Three parameters are key: pitch, inner width and roller diameter - for C2060H these are 38.1 mm, 12.57 mm and 11.91 mm respectively. In addition, in a corrosive environment it is worth assessing whether standard stainless steel is sufficient or whether the acid-resistant 316L version is needed.

Why are extended (double) pitch chains used instead of ordinary single-pitch chains?

For the same conveyor length, the chain has half as many links, pins and rollers as the single-pitch version, which reduces cost and weight - worthwhile in slow-running drives where the high pitch precision typical of high-speed transmissions is not required.

Does a chain with extended (double) pitch fit standard sprockets?

No - it requires a sprocket designed for double pitch (every second tooth engaged). It must not be confused or interchanged with a standard-pitch chain of the same base designation.

What is a straight plate and what advantage does it offer in this chain?

A straight (non-profiled) plate has a continuous, flat side edge - unlike the profiled (waisted) plate of standard-pitch chains. This design is typical of double-pitch chains and performs well in accumulation conveyors and packaging lines, where a smooth, repeatable link geometry matters at lower operating speeds.

What grade of steel is the stainless chain in this version made of?

The standard stainless version is made of chromium-nickel steel (type 304) containing approx. 18% chromium and 8-10% nickel. It performs well in humid conditions and in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where carbon steel would corrode.

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this chain - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may vary depending on the warehouse.
