NOTE: The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the chart’s shaded areas directly above the type I, II or III reference. For optimum results, it is suggested that the
roller chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the operating condition of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The horsepower ratings of multiple-strand
chains are greater than those for single strand chain. See table 1 on page 6 for multiple-strand factors.

NOTE: The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the chart’s shaded areas directly above the type I, II or III reference. For optimum results, it is suggested that the roller chain
manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the operating condition of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The horsepower ratings of multiple-strand chains are greater than those
for single strand chain. See table 1 on page 6 for multiple-strand factors.

NOTE: The limiting RPM for each lubrication type is shown in the chart’s shaded areas directly above the type I, II or III reference. For optimum results, it is suggested that the
roller chain manufacturer be given the opportunity to evaluate the operating condition of chains in the shaded (galling range) speed area. The horsepower ratings of multiple-strand
chains are greate than those for single strand chain. See table 1 on page 6 for multiple-strand factors
