Roller chain 10AH-1 (50H-1) reinforced 5m section | Ozdowski

Product Description

Roller chain 10AH-1 (50H-1) L=5000

The 10AH-1 chain is a simplex replacement for drives built to the American inch system - ANSI designation 50H, pitch 15.875 mm. Compliance with standard ANSI B29.1 means full interchangeability with chains of this pitch from other suppliers working to the same standard; as a European manufacturer, we also rely on separate hardening of each component. Thanks to hardening each component separately, even before the whole chain is assembled, Ozdowski products achieve a breaking strength about 20% higher than the minimum values specified by the standard.

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.

Do chain guides really affect chain service life?

Indeed - a correctly mounted chain guide dampens vibrations and limits so-called chain whip, which is one of the most common causes of premature link breakage.

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.
