The chain length \u2013 also called stroke \u2013 determines how far a chain drive opens the window sash. If it is too short, the sash will not open enough; if it is too long, the sash can overextend or the chain can lose stability. A simple formula allows you to quickly estimate the appropriate chain length.<\/p>\n
When opening, the wing edge describes an arc around the hinge. The chain length corresponds approximately to the length of this arc.<\/p>\n
Chain length (mm) = wing height (mm) \u00d7 opening angle (\u00b0) \u00f7 57.3<\/strong><\/p>\n The factor 57.3 results from the conversion of degrees to radians (180 \u00f7 \u03c0). Wing height is the distance from the pivot point (hinge) to the point where the chain attaches.<\/p>\n Select the next largest available chain length. Many drives can also be adjusted to a shorter stroke.<\/p>\n Instead of calculating by hand, you can use our Chain length calculator<\/a> To use: Enter the wing height and opening angle; the chain length will be output rounded to whole millimeters.<\/p>\n For strokes over 1,000 mm or very heavy wings, Linear actuators<\/a>, Spindle drives<\/a> or Rack-and-pinion drives<\/a> Often the better choice. The article explains how drive chains are constructed. Drive chains for window drives<\/a>. A comparison of the drive types can be found in the article.
