ANSI 80 roller chain is a 1-inch pitch chain and the seventh-largest size in the ANSI B29.1 lineup.
Widely used in agriculture and industrial applications, it powers conveyors, machinery, and other drive systems.
Common applications for 80 roller chain include:
- Aggregate and mining
- Food processing equipment
- Cotton gins and grain applications
- Drive and conveying applications
- Oil and gas (API-certified #80 roller chains)
- Construction equipment (cranes, booms, lifts, and road machinery)
- Agricultural equipment (combines, tractors, balers, planters, cotton harvesters, and cornhead gathers)
- Forestry applications, such as mills (hardwood and softwood sawmills, composite mills, PlyVen mills, post/pole mills, pulp mills, and more)

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT #80 ROLLER CHAIN
Choosing the right #80 roller chain is about more than matching the size.
Here’s what to check before you order:
1. Start With the Load
Consider how much weight and force the chain will handle during normal operation.
If your equipment deals with heavy loads, frequent starts and stops, or sudden impacts, look for a chain rated for those demands.
2. Check Speed and Run Time
Think about how the equipment operates.
A chain running continuously at higher speeds might require different lubrication and maintenance than one used intermittently.
3. Consider the Working Environment
Will the chain face moisture, dust, chemicals, extreme temperatures, or frequent washdowns?
These conditions can affect your choice of material, coating, and lubricant.
4. Confirm the Sprocket Compatibility
An ANSI #80 chain has a 1-inch pitch and should run on compatible #80 sprockets.
Inspect the sprockets for worn or damaged teeth before installing a new chain.
5. Decide Whether Standard #80 Chain Is Enough
Some applications need more than a standard chain.
Depending on your equipment, you might need heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant, or other specialized #80 roller chain options.
6. Compare Performance Ratings
The size might be standardized, but performance can vary.
Compare working load, tensile strength, materials, and manufacturer specifications rather than choosing based on price alone.
7. Plan for Lubrication and Maintenance
Finally, consider how easy the chain will be to inspect, clean, tension, and lubricate.
Proper maintenance can reduce wear and help you get more service life from your #80 roller chain.

#80 Roller Chain: FAQs
What size is an #80 roller chain?
An #80 roller chain has a 1-inch pitch, measured from the center of one pin to the next. It’s designed to work with compatible #80 sprockets.
What are the standard #80 chain dimensions?
A standard #80 chain has a 1-inch pitch, a 0.625-inch roller diameter, and a 0.625-inch width between the inner plates.
These dimensions are standardized, which makes it easier to match the chain with the right #80 sprockets and replacement components.
How do I know if #80 roller chain is the right size?
Start with your equipment manual or check the markings on your current chain.
If those aren’t available, measure the pitch and other key dimensions to confirm you need an #80 chain.
Where is #80 roller chain typically used?
You’ll often find #80 roller chain on conveyors, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and other power transmission systems that need to handle demanding loads.
How can I tell when my #80 roller chain needs replacing?
Your chain will usually give you a few clues.
Excessive stretch, stiff links, damaged rollers, corrosion, or constant tension adjustments can all mean it’s nearing retirement.
