The selection of a roller chain can be made in the following way:

Chain power transmission tables: transmission capacity values (kW) available based on the number of teeth of the small sprocket at the driving side and its number of revolutions (r/min).

Quick selection chart : a roller chain should be selected from a simple selection table based on the number of revolutions of the small sprocket (r/min) and the required transmission capacity (corrected kW).

General roller chain selection method: select a roller chain based on: 1. kW to be transmitted, 2.corrected kW, 3. rpm of driving shaft and driven shaft, 4. shaft diameter and sprocket boss

Low speed roller chain selection method: selection in a low-velocity transmission with its chain velocity of 50m/min or slower.

Documentation is available about the selection of roller chain length (number of links), center distance, temperature in the operation environment of the chain, its installation method, lubrication method, and appropriate lubrication oil after the selection of the chain.
