Roller chain 10AH-1 (50H-1) reinforced 1 m section - connecting link included | Ozdowski

Product Description

Roller chain 10AH-1 (50H-1) L=1000

This simplex roller chain bears the designation 10AH-1 (ANSI 50H) and operates at a pitch of 15.875 mm, typical of the drives of machines imported from the USA. Manufactured in accordance with the standard ANSI B29.1; as a Polish manufacturer, we guarantee dimensional compatibility with sprockets designed to the same standard. Ozdowski brand chains offer strength up to 20% higher than the standard requires - each component (pin, roller, plate) is hardened individually before the chain is assembled, which translates into greater durability and resistance to elongation.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose the correct ANSI roller chain pitch for a drive?

Three parameters determine the correct selection: pitch, inner width and roller diameter - for 10AH (ANSI 50H) they are 15.875 mm, 9.4 mm and 10.16 mm respectively. It is also worth considering the load, rotational speed and operating environment (dust, moisture) in order to choose the right version.

How does an AH (reinforced) chain differ from the standard version of the same pitch?

The AH version has the same pitch, inner width and roller diameter dimensions as the standard 10A (it works with the same sprockets), but uses thicker side plates - 2.4 mm compared with 2.0 mm in the standard version. As a result, the chain copes better with jerky loads and operation in more demanding conditions.

Can a section length other than the standard lengths listed be ordered?

Yes. As standard, we offer ready, convenient sections in lengths of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 metres, but the chain can also be ordered by the running metre, or several sections can be joined with a connecting link to obtain the required total length - remembering to keep an even number of links.

How does a roller chain behave under a sudden shock load?

Individually hardened components retain a certain core flexibility, which acts as a buffer absorbing the energy of a jerk - this reduces the risk of link damage when the drive runs unevenly.

Where is this product used?

The reinforced version of this pitch is used in balers (pick-up and bale ejector drives) and in maize harvesters - where a standard 10A chain might not withstand the jerky loads typical of field work.
