ANSI Drive Chain

As an authorized distributor for HKK Chain, D.P. Brown of PA is dedicated to supplying clients with high-quality roller chains for their operation.

HKK’s roller chain — in either single- or multiple strands — is made to exceed ANSI B29.1 standards, is dimensionally interchangeable with any other ANSI standard chain, and is designed for high strength and long life. HKK solid bushings and rollers, specially treated pins and bushings, and stringently controlled heat treatment are only a few of the many features built into the HKK chain.

The HKK Heavy Series roller chain features solid bushings and rollers through hardened pins and high-grade alloy steel. It utilizes the next larger chain size’s link plate to provide greater capacity with fatigue failure.

ANSI Drive Chain Applications

ANSI drive chains are versatile power transmission chains widely used in various applications due to their exceptional durability and reliability. These heavy-duty roller chains are designed to transmit power efficiently from one component to another, making them indispensable in a wide range of industries and machinery. ANSI drive chains are commonly utilized in industrial machinery, automotive engines, agricultural machinery, and more. 

Their ability to withstand heavy loads and high speeds — combined with their excellent fatigue resistance — makes them ideal for applications where consistent and dependable power transmission is essential. Moreover, ANSI drive chains often feature thicker plates and outer link plates, enhancing their strength and durability, which ensures the chain's tensile strength is adequate for demanding tasks. Whether in manufacturing machines, conveyor systems, or agricultural equipment, ANSI drive chains play a pivotal role in maintaining the smooth and efficient operation of various machines.

How Are ANSI Drive Chains Different Than Other Roller Chains?

Compared to other roller chains, ANSI drive chains distinguish themselves through their adherence to the ANSI standard. This adherence ensures uniformity and compatibility among different chains and sprockets within the same size category, which allows for easier replacement and interchangeability. ANSI drive chains feature thicker link plates and roller widths, which contribute to their enhanced durability and load-bearing capacity. These characteristics make them well-suited for heavy roller chain applications where reliability and longevity are of utmost importance.

Additionally, ANSI drive chains can be found in a cottered chain configuration, adding to their versatility and ease of installation. As a result, the ANSI standard roller chains stand out for their consistency, compatibility, and robust design — making them a preferred choice for a wide range of power transmission applications across various industries.
