Conveyor Roller Chain
Conveyor series roller chains are one of the most widely used types of chains in the world. Because of this, we stock almost every size and configuration ranging from ANSI, DIN, and ISO certified series chains. We also have a full line of stainless steel conveyor chains as well as hollow-pin conveyor roller chains.
Double Pitch Conveyor Chains
 
The most common style of conveyor chain is known as double pitch roller chain. This is because it conforms to ANSI B29.1 specifications and can retrofit most applications. It also offers a low weight to high-strength ratio, a long service life in most applications, and has a wide range of attachments available. There are two common styles of this chain. The first is the one shown in the picture above on the left, the second is the photo above on the right. The photo on the right is oversized-roller double pitch conveyor chain. This is used because the rollers extend past the side plates creating an easy way to convey content from one location to the next. These chains are typically designated with a 2 in place of the second 0 in the part numbers for these chains. Example, C2050 chain is the standard series and C2052 chain has the oversized rollers.
Note: Most double pitch conveyor roller chains are stock in 10ft boxes, 50ft reels, and 100ft reels. Specific cut to length strands and attachments are availble upon request.
Straight Side Plate Conveyor Roller Chain
The next most common style of conveyor roller chain is known as the straight side plate or sidebar roller chain. This series fully match ANSI and ISO metric dimensionally with the exception of having straight side plates. Having straight side plates makes this roller chain have the ability to carry the product on top of it evenly.

Hollow Pin Roller Chains
Hollow pin chains are another type of roller chain used in conveyor applications, particularly in cross-rod-type setups where attachments are infrequently needed. They come in single-pitch and double-pitch variations, with the latter offering options for small- or large-diameter rollers. The hollow pins in their design allow for easy customization and attachment addition, facilitating straightforward material installation and removal on the conveyor. These chains are advantageous in applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly. Their open-pin design distinguishes them from standard roller chains, providing versatility to accommodate various materials, shapes, and sizes. This feature, coupled with easy cleaning, makes them suitable for industries with stringent hygiene requirements, such as food processing. Careful consideration of factors like load capacity and operational needs is essential for optimal performance in conveyor applications.
