1.1.2 BS/DIN Roller Chain
Transmission: General usage
Application Example
BS/DIN power transmission chains are regulated by international standards (ISO 606B) and are used primarily in Europe. In Japan and the United States, BS/DIN chains are used in transmission equipment imported from European countries or for licensed production.
Selection and Handling
Compared to the same-sized ANSI Roller Chains, the power ratings of BS/DIN chains in drive applications (tent curve) are a little lower (Table 1.1).
| Chain No. | Pitch (mm) | Number of Sprocket Teeth | RPM (rev./min.) | Power Rating (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RS80 | 25.4 | 19 | 500 | 24.1 |
| RS16B | 25.4 | 19 | 500 | 22.0 |
| RS160 | 50.8 | 19 | 500 | 76.1 |
| RS32B | 50.8 | 19 | 500 | 70.0 |
