The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Roller Chain (Simplex) is a type of roller chain used for power transmission applications, typically in industrial machinery. The term "simplex" refers to a single strand of chain, as opposed to duplex or triplex chains which have two or three strands, respectively.

The ANSI Standard Roller Chain (Simplex) is designed to transmit power and motion between two rotating shafts. It consists of a series of roller links and pin links, which are connected together in a specific pattern to form a continuous chain. The roller links have cylindrical rollers that rotate freely between the inner and outer plates of the chain, while the pin links have pins that hold the rollers in place.
The ANSI Standard Roller Chain (Simplex) is available in a range of sizes and strengths to suit different applications. The size of the chain is determined by its pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. The strength of the chain is determined by its tensile strength, which is the maximum load it can withstand without breaking.
Overall, the ANSI Standard Roller Chain (Simplex) is a reliable and widely used component in industrial machinery for transmitting power and motion between rotating shafts.
