1. Style - Chain style can be identified by the shape of the driving links. |

Rampower Duplex |
SC Duplex |

2. Pitch - Chain pitch, the distance between pin contact points, is easily estimated by measuring the distance
between the centers of three consecutive pin heads and dividing by 2. Pitch is typically expressed in inches. |
|
3. Width Over Heads - Chain width over heads is simply the distance across the chain’s “riveted” or “headed” pins. |
 |
4. Assembly - (For SC and Rampower duplex only) Chain assembly is identified by counting the number of adjacent,
similarly arranged links across the width of the chain. |
 |
5. Guide type - (For Ramflex only) Chain guide type is either center guide or side guide depending on the location
of guide links in the chain. |
