Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Great resistance to corrosion and heat that allows use in pretty much everywhere
You can find two sorts of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS type has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. However, it can be made entirely of austenite stainless steel and hence its tensile strength is somewhat decrease than 70% of the conventional roller chain, and maximum allowable load drops to somewhat above 10%.
Through the use of precipitation hardened stainless steel for your pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK variety has one.five instances higher greatest allowable load compared on the SS sort. Select SSK after you have to have much more power than SS, or need longer item life.
The two types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advisable makes use of
?Conditions exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Numerous chemical plats and water therapy plants.
?Conditions of higher temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Variety of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has reduce regular tensile strength and greatest allowable load compared to your regular roller chain.
Connecting back links and offset hyperlinks
R connecting links are utilized for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting hyperlinks for #80 or greater. 2POJ offset back links are used for sizes #25, and OJ hyperlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Regular sprockets for Stainless Steel chains could be made use of because the dimensions would be the identical as standard roller chains.
Caution
As a basic house of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be caused by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on right shows the data of exams over the level of corrosion resistance for each medium and won’t promise the overall performance of the chains. Please take into consideration the disorders, temperature, level and various all round predicament when using.
