Do 520 chains wear out faster than 525 chains?
People will bring up the fact that 520 chains will wear out faster than 525/530 chains. Ultimately, if you start to nitpick, yes, they will. The tensile strength of the very top chains will be slightly higher (my EK520 chains’ rating is 9400 where the top DID 530 is roughly 10400).
What's the difference between a 40 and 420 chain?
All will have a 1/2" pitch. We use the #420 chain the most out of these 3. It's not as wide (from side plate to side plate) as the #40 chain which helps to not slap your driven pulley or frame if it's in a tight fit. #420 will have more strength than the #41 chain because the side plates will be taller. #40 will be the beefiest chain in this class.
What is a 520 roller chain?
520 roller chain is a non-standard series roller chain that is a common in stock item for USA Roller Chain. What sets this chain apart from others is that it is manufactured with solid rollers, and uses heat-treated components for better performance and a higher strength.

Is 40 and 420 chain the same?
Difference between 420 chain and 40 chain Both 420 and 40 chains have the same tensile strength and pitch, the only major difference is the width between the inner plates of #40 is larger than #420 by 1/16″.
What does 520 mean on chain size?
(3) The size of a chain is designated by a three-digit number (520, for example). The distance from the center of one pin to the center of the next is called pitch. Pitch is represented by the first digit, which is 4, 5 or 6.
How strong is 40 chain?
With a high-tensile strength of 3,700 LBS this chain possess an excellent side-to-strength ratio, as well as weight-to-strength ratio (Chain weighs 0.41 LBS/ FT). #40 roller chain is one of the most common chain sizes used around the world today because of its versatility and productive nature.

What size chain is best for a go-kart?
A go-kart chain should have about 1/4″ or 3/8″ of flex. This means that once you've installed the chain on the sprockets, it should feel relatively tight with a little bit of slack.

Will a 40 chain fit a 428 sprocket?
The 40B sprockets are an odd-ball width (7.2mm) and you would have to go to 428 chain, which would actually too wide, allowing the chain to wonder side to side.
What pitch is a 420 chain?
1/2"Specifications: Chain No.: 420; Pitch: 1/2"; Roller Width: 1/4"; Roller Diameter: 5/16"; Sprocket Thickness: 0.227".
Which is better, #420 or #41?
It's not as wide (from side plate to side plate) as the #40 chain which helps to not slap your driven pulley or frame if it's in a tight fit. #420 will have more strength than the #41 chain because the side plates will be taller. #40 will be the beefiest chain in this class.
Why use chain guards with straw?
We prefer the aerosol can with a straw so that we can pin-point where we need the lubrication. Chain Guards will help with keeping hair, clothing, and appendages out of harm's way. Also helps with messes since you'll be slinging around chain lube.
