#80 Chain: strong and efficient power roller transmission

The 80 Chain stands out as one of the most reliable options for power transmission. Built to ANSI standards, it delivers strength, precision, and efficiency, making it the right choice for demanding applications.

Whether in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, or automotive systems, the #80 roller chain ensures smooth and safe operation, even under heavy working conditions. In addition, its compatibility with standard sprockets makes installation easier and lowers maintenance costs.

With the PGN Bearings #80 roller chain line, you get durable solutions engineered to handle heavy loads and deliver consistent performance.

What Is an #80 Roller Chain?

The 80 Chain follows the ANSI #80 standard, widely recognized in power transmission systems. This standard sets precise dimensions that ensure compatibility and reliable performance.

Beyond the standard version, there are variations. The #80H roller chain includes reinforced plates for heavy loads. The duplex (#80-2) and triplex (#80-3) options feature two or three rows of links, boosting power transmission capacity for demanding industrial settings.

With these choices, users can select the chain that best fits their project, ensuring efficiency and long-lasting performance.

What Is an #80 Chain Used For?

The 80 Chain is designed for mechanical power transmission systems, where strength and reliability are critical. It links sprockets and gears, providing smooth and secure motion transfer.

In the industrial sector, it is commonly used in conveyors, heavy-duty machines, and production lines that demand durability. Within agriculture, the chain powers tractors, harvesters, and other equipment built to withstand tough conditions.

The #80 roller chain is also a dependable choice for automotive and industrial maintenance applications, ensuring consistent performance across multiple settings. That’s why it has become an essential standard for those seeking efficiency, strength, and versatility.

How Does a Roller Chain Work?

Roller chains operate through a system of pins, rollers, and inner and outer plates working together in sequence. This design ensures precise motion transfer between sprockets.

Built to match ANSI standard sprockets, the chain provides proper alignment and reduces transmission errors. As a result, equipment runs more safely and with less downtime.

Another key factor is its load capacity. With high tensile strength, the #80 roller chains withstands demanding conditions without losing performance. This makes it a reliable solution that combines mechanical efficiency and long-lasting durability, even under continuous operation.
