Roller Chains 1-1/2 Pitch – Heavy Duty Drive Roller Chain

High-quality roller chains 1-1/2 pitch are designed for reliable and efficient power transmission in industrial machinery and mechanical drive systems. At BEP Ltd, we supply durable drive roller chains manufactured to deliver consistent performance, smooth motion, and long service life.

Our 1-1/2 pitch drive chain range is suitable for demanding applications such as conveyors, agricultural equipment, and heavy-duty industrial machinery.

What Is a 1-1/2 Pitch Roller Chain?

A 1-1/2 pitch roller chain has 1.5 inches between the centers of two successive pins in the chain. This distance is called the drive chain pitch, and will affect compatibility to dealt sprockets.

Proper chain pitch is critical to avoid costly repairs in order to ensure effective mating of sprocket teeth and efficient transfer properties.

Roller chains have positive drive engagement, which means that once engaged, there is no slippage between the chain and sprocket.
