40 Roller Chain Accessories

Whether you need 40 roller chain attachments#40 roller chain connecting links, 40 chain sprockets, or roller chain breakers, we have a full range of accessories. If you need any #40 chain accessories, please contact us.
40 Roller Chain Attachments
 #40 roller chain attachments are essential components designed to enhance the functionality and adaptability of standard 40 roller chains. ANSI 40 roller chains with attachments are commonly used in conveyors, packaging, and agricultural machinery.
40 Roller Chain Connecting Links

40 Chain Connecting Links

40 roller chain connecting link, also known as a #40 master link, is a removable component used to join or disconnect sections of a roller chain. It allows quick and easy maintenance, making the roller chain assemble or disassemble in machinery.
40 Roller Chain Breakers
40 roller chain breakers are designed to cut and break roller chains efficiently. It simplifies removing or resizing chains by separating the links without damaging them. 

40 Chain Sprockets
ANSI 40 roller chain sprockets are engaged with size 40 roller chains. We have a complete selection of 40 chain sprockets ranging from A-plate, B-hub, taper-bushed, plain bore sprocket, and finished bore sprocket configurations. 

40 Roller Chain Sprocket

ANSI #40 Roller Chain Sprockets
Complete your #40 roller chain drive with matching ANSI 40 sprockets manufactured to B29.1 tolerances. Choose from plain bore, finished bore, and taper bore sprockets in carbon or stainless steel, plus idler and double-single options for multi-strand applications. Every sprocket is cut to match our chain pitch exactly, so your drive runs quietly and wears evenly.

40 Roller Chain Application

ANSI #40 roller chain is widely used in many industries and has become the main chain size for most applications. Each component of our #40 chain is precisely manufactured and professionally heat-treated and shot-peened for optimal performance. Keep in mind that the standard carbon steel #40 chain is designed to operate in temperatures from 15°F to 140°F, with a heat-treated hardness range of HRC 45-55. For any situations outside this range, please contact us for a solution.

FAQs

What is a #40 roller chain?
A #40 roller chain is an ANSI B29.1 standard chain with a 0.500" (12.7 mm) pitch. It is one of the most widely used roller chain sizes in industrial, agricultural, and packaging equipment.
What is the difference between #40 and #41 roller chain?
Both have the same 0.500" pitch, but the #41 chain has a narrower roller width (0.250" vs 0.312"). #40 is a heavier-duty ANSI standard chain; #41 is lighter and primarily used in smaller drive applications. They are not interchangeable on the same sprockets. 
Is #40 chain interchangeable with 08B chain?
No. Both have a 12.7 mm pitch, but 08B is a metric series chain with a different roller width and plate dimensions, and it is dimensionally incompatible with ANSI #40 sprockets.
