Why Choose Stainless Steel Roller Chains?

For generations, leaders in manufacturing and agriculture have looked to chain systems as a way to transfer the power needed for their toughest applications. Stainless steel chains are particularly valuable due to their structural integrity and ability to withstand environmental stresses over time.

The need to manufacture products that are perfectly aligned with the highest quality standards for each component of the machine means that having the right working chain can mean the difference between success and costly failure. Whatever your application, you must be confident that your stainless steel roller chains are designed and manufactured to the highest standards of excellence. 

Stainless Steel Double Pitch Conveyor Chain

Stainless steel roller chains are often used in situations where rust is a possibility, such as in the production of food, chemicals or pharmaceuticals, or in situations where you cannot strictly control the temperature. This guide will help you better understand the value of stainless steel chains and how to use them for your next project.

Why choose stainless steel roller chains?

Stainless steel roller chains are very different from carbon steel roller chains in many ways. Although the construction and dimensions of stainless steel chains are the same as traditional ANSI standard roller chains, the parts are made of high grade stainless steel for use in medical, food, chemical and other applications. Although slightly more expensive than traditional roller chains, stainless steel offers several advantages.

Stainless steel is corrosion resistant at high temperatures

Very low temperatures do not cause problems because these chains do not crack.

Stainless steel is shiny and attractive, providing a clean look for indoor or food-related applications.

While there are many positive reasons to use stainless steel roller chains, it is important to have the complete picture before selecting this type of chain for your application. While still strong, stainless steel does not have the same tensile strength as ANSI roller chains, and these chains can also wear out faster than carbon steel chains. Stainless steel parts have a lower surface hardness because the parts are not tempered and hardened for heat treatment. In many applications, you will find that stainless steel roller chains retain more heat, which further affects the tensile strength and service life of the product.

Why quality is important for stainless steel chains

Chain manufacturers are always looking for ways to improve the wear resistance and quality of their chains. With chains, quality means you can measure consistency, which helps you estimate the wear life of specific parts in your system. This is very important when you are setting a schedule for mechanical renewal, as downtime in any type of manufacturing or industrial situation can be very expensive. If you are confident that your stainless steel chain is a high quality product, then you don't have to risk the problems that come with expensive machinery and equipment.
