Overview
The Renold 120 roller chain is a 10-foot riveted chain engineered for mechanical power transmission in industrial machinery and drive systems. Manufactured to ANSI B29.1 and ISO 606 standards, this single-strand simplex chain features a 1.5-inch (38.1 mm) pitch and carbon steel construction. Renold’s manufacturing control delivers superior wear resistance and fatigue life compared to standard competitors.
Key Features
- Riveted construction for simplicity and reliability in standard applications
- Single-strand (simplex) configuration suitable for standard ANSI sprockets
- Solid cold-forged bushings and ball-drifted plate holes minimize wear and extend service life
- High tensile strength (125,000 N) meets or exceeds ANSI B29.1 requirements
- Carbon steel material rated for ambient industrial environments
- Low initial adjustment required due to Renold’s precision manufacturing
