81X Chain 81X Conveyor Chain 81X Lumber Conveyor Chain

81X chain features a 2.609" pitch and is categorized as a steel bushed roller chain within the engineer class of chains. Its commonly referred to as an 81X conveyor chain due to the straight side-bar design and common usage within conveying applications. Most commonly, this 81X lumber conveyor chain is found in the lumber and forestry industry and is available with upgrades such as "chrome pins" or heavier-duty sidebars. Our high-strength chain is manufactured to ANSI specifications and dimensionally interchanges with other brands, meaning sprocket replacement is not necessary. We also supply 81X chain sprockets and 81X chain attachments, and we have an 81X chain breaker. Because of its high-strength and effective design, this 81X chain can be found in applications all around the world, such as lumber, agriculture, mills, grain handling, and many more drive and conveying applications.

▍Advantages of 81X Conveyor Chains:

The 81X conveyor chain is a high-strength, steel-bushed roller chain that is commonly used in material handling applications such as the lumber industry. It features a 2.609" pitch and is manufactured to ANSI specifications. The 81X chain is available in standard, stainless, heavy-duty, and super heavy-duty versions.

Here are some of the advantages of 81X conveyor chains:

1. High tensile strength: The 81X chain has a tensile strength of 25,000 lbs., which makes it a good choice for applications where high loads are present.

2. Durability: The 81X chain is made of high-quality steel and is heat treated to resist wear and tear. This makes it a long-lasting chain that can withstand the rigors of demanding applications.

3. Easy to maintain: The 81X chain is easy to maintain and lubricate. This helps to extend the lifespan of the chain and keep it running smoothly.

4. Wide range of applications: The 81X chain can be used in a variety of applications, including lumber conveyors, trimmer saws, stackers, transfer conveyors, unscramblers, sorters, veneer dryers, and gypsum board ovens.

5. ANSI-compliant: The 81X chain is manufactured to ANSI specifications, which ensures that it meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

Overall, the 81X conveyor chain is a high-quality, durable, and versatile chain that is a good choice for a variety of demanding applications.

▍Applications of 81X Lumber Conveyor Chain:

81X lumber conveyor chain is a type of chain commonly used in the lumber industry for conveying large and heavy loads of lumber. The chain is designed with large, sturdy links that can withstand high loads and resist wear and tear. Some of the common applications of 81X lumber conveyor chain include:

• Lumber conveyors: This is the most common application for the 81X chain. Lumber conveyors are used to move logs and lumber around sawmills and lumberyards.
• Trimmer saws: 81X chain is often used on trimmer saws, which are used to cut logs into smaller pieces.
• Stackers: 81X chain is also used on stackers, which are used to stack lumber.
• Transfer conveyors: Transfer conveyors are used to move lumber from one location to another.
• Unscramblers: Unscramblers are used to unscramble lumber that has been jumbled together.
• Sorters: Sorters are used to sort lumber by size or grade.

In addition to these applications, the 81X lumber conveyor chain can also be used in other industries, such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.

▍81X Chain Sprockets for 81X Chain (81X Conveyor Chain)

81X chain sprockets are designed to work with 81X chains. Sprockets are toothed wheels that mesh with the links of the chain, providing a positive engagement that drives the chain and any attached load. The 81X chain sprockets for the 81X chain are typically made of high-strength steel or other durable materials, and they come in a range of sizes and tooth counts to accommodate different chain lengths and load requirements.

81X chain, as mentioned earlier, is a heavy-duty chain commonly used in the lumber industry for conveying large and heavy loads of lumber. It is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. The chain is made up of large, sturdy links that are designed to handle high loads and resist deformation.

When selecting 81X chains and 81X chain sprockets, it is important to consider the specific application and load requirements. Factors such as chain length, pitch, and sprocket tooth count will all impact the performance of the system. Proper lubrication and maintenance are also important to ensure maximum chain and sprocket life.

Our 81X chain sprockets there are four standard configurations. A-Plate 81X chain sprockets, B-hub 81X chain sprockets, C-hub 81X chain sprockets, and split 81X chain sprockets. However, we also supply idler sprockets that use bearings or bronze bushings, depending on the sprocket size and application. Below is a chart that shows the standard tooth counts for 81x chain sprockets.
