Product Description

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and BS (British Standard) chains are roller chains for power transmission, with ANSI measuring pitch in 1/8" increments (e.g., '40' for 4/8" or 1/2") and BS measuring in 1/16" increments (e.g., '08B' for 8/16" or 1/2"), using ISO 606 standards; while similar, they are dimensionally different and generally not interchangeable with standard sprockets, with ANSI emphasizing solid bushings for better wear and BS following European norms, both offering single/multi-strand, heavy-duty (H), and attachment variations. 
ANSI Standard Chains
  • Numbering: First digit(s) indicate pitch in eighths of an inch (e.g., '3' = 3/8", '4' = 4/8" or 1/2").
  • Construction: Often feature solid bushings and rollers for full contact, better lubrication, and longer wear life, with heat-treated components for strength.
  • Series: Available in standard and heavy (H) series (thicker plates, hardened pins - V) for increased strength.
  • Applications: Common in general power transmission, short conveyors, and quiet operations. 
British Standard (BS) Chains (ISO 606 B) 
  • Numbering: Follows European standards (e.g., 16B for a 1-inch pitch chain).
  • Construction: Also uses solid bushings and rollers for improved performance and durability, aligning with ISO 606.
  • Interchangeability: Dimensionally different from ANSI, so they generally don't fit ANSI sprockets, though both meet ISO standards. 
Key Differences & Similarities
  • Pitch: The fundamental difference is how pitch is measured and numbered.
  • Standards: Both adhere to international ISO 606 but have distinct regional numbering systems.
  • Performance: Both aim for high strength, durability, and wear resistance through features like solid bushings and heat treatment. 
In essence, choose ANSI for American standards or BS for European/ISO-based systems, ensuring sprocket compatibility for reliable power transmission.
