Horsepower Ratings Roller Chain No. 25 Table 1/4 inch

ANSI Hardware Design Guide and Reference

Horsepower Ratings for ANSI Roller Chains Table For Standard Single-Strand Roller Chain Number 25

To determine the horsepower requirements for Roller Chains the following must be taken into consideration:

  • Service factors,
  • Lubrication Service Factors,
  • Multiple Strand Factors: For two strands, the multiple strand factor is 1.7; for three strands, it is 2.5; and for four strands, it is 3.3.,
  • Lubrication: Required type of lubrication is indicated at the bottom of each roller chain size section of the table,
  • Type A: Manual or Drip Lubrication, Type B: Bath or Disc Lubrication, Type C: Oil Stream Lubrication.

To find the required horsepower table rating, use the following formula:

HP Required = [ HP to be Transmitted ] x [ Service Factor ] / [ Multiple Strand Factor ]
