GOST 13568-2017 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 13568-2017 — "Цепи приводные роликовые и втулочные. Общие технические условия" (Driving roller and bush chains — General specifications). The standard establishes general technical requirements, dimensional series and typical designations for single- and multi-row driving roller and bush chains used in power mechanical transmissions.

Abstract

This interstate (EASC) standard defines the constructional types, basic dimensions, mechanical characteristics, testing, marking, corrosion protection, packaging and general technical requirements for driving roller and bush chains (single- and multi-row) intended for power transmission applications (excluding drilling rigs). It replaces the earlier 1997 edition of the same standard.

General information

• Status: Active / adopted (interstate standard).
• Publication date: Adopted 30 November 2017; date of introduction (into effect) 1 January 2020.
• Publisher: Interstate standardization system — EASC (implemented via national bodies, published through Rosstandart / national standard bodies); developed by VNIIINMASH.
• ICS / categories: ICS 21.220.30 (Chains); OKP/industry classification references included in the standard.
• Edition / version: Edition 2017 (GOST 13568-2017).
• Number of pages: 31 pages (published/electronic editions commonly distributed as 31 pages).

Scope

The standard applies to driving roller and bush chains — both single- and multi-row — designed for transmitting power in a wide range of machines and mechanisms, with the explicit exclusion of use in drilling rigs. It sets out general technical conditions that manufacturers, suppliers and users should follow when selecting, producing, testing and accepting these chains.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of chain types (roller chains, bush chains, single- and multi-row variants).
• Dimensional series, nominal pitch values and standard designations for typical chain types (e.g., ПР, ПВ, ПРИ series and sizes).
• Material and manufacturing requirements, including basic mechanical properties and heat-treatment guidance.
• Strength and breaking-load values, permissible tolerances and measurement rules (references to measurement standards).
• Requirements for corrosion protection and surface treatment, marking, packaging and transportation.
• Inspection, testing methods and acceptance criteria for finished chains (including sampling and test loads).
• Normative references to related GOSTs used for measurement accuracy and corrosion protection.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of transmission and conveyor chains, OEMs and designers of power transmission systems, maintenance and procurement engineers in mechanical engineering, mining, materials handling and general industry, and conformity/inspection bodies use this standard to ensure interchangeability, safety and performance consistency of driving chains.

Related standards

This standard supersedes GOST 13568-97 and contains normative references to other GOSTs used for measurement and corrosion protection (for example, ГОСТ 8.051-81 and ГОСТ 9.014-78 are cited as normative references). It is intended to be compatible with other national and international chain and power-transmission standards where applicable.

Keywords
