Re: Picking Out Roller Chain

Since we like to have a safety factor of 2-3 than you would select a chain size with a breaking load in the 2000-3000 range minimum. #35 falls into this range.

According to Mcmaster:

Working load is the maximum load capacity that can be applied to the chain under normal operating conditions. Average tensile strength is the average load capacity at which the chain will break

Never mind I just answered my own question. Now what will happen if you constantly run the chain over the work load but under the break load?
Thanks for the help.
