Roller chain 10AH-1 (50H-1) reinforced 3m section - connecting link included | Ozdowski

Product Description

Roller chain 10AH-1 (50H-1) L=3000

10AH-1, known in the ANSI system as number 50H, is a simplex roller chain with a pitch of 15.875 mm, used in drives designed to the American standard. Every unit in this series meets the requirements of the standard ANSI B29.1; production includes individual hardening of the pin, roller and plate, which we as a European manufacturer regard as the basis of durability. In Ozdowski chains, each component is hardened separately before being assembled into a finished link - which is why their actual strength exceeds the requirements of the standard by about 20%, meaning greater durability and resistance to breaking.

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.

Does running a chain "dry", without lubrication, really harm the drive?

Yes - lubricant limits metal-to-metal friction in the joints and dissipates heat from the pin contact areas. Without lubricant, micro-seizure, faster heating and accelerated wear of components occur.

Where is this product used?

The thicker side plates of this version prove their worth in baler pick-ups and maize harvesters, i.e. in places with a higher risk of dynamic overloads than in a typical industrial drive.
