I have approximate measurements only, because I don't have physical access to the device. This chain is driving a small conveyor. The link length is about 9.5mm, ~9mm at narrow width and ~11mm at wide width. The chain is stamped with 890 number.

enter image description here

Is this a standard size chain? What is that standard, so I can look up a matching sprocket?

  • $\begingroup$ I'm getting links to 890 bicycle chains only. Could it be a bicycle chain standard? I have no experience with chains. $\endgroup$

Looking at the photo, I believe the marking is not 890 but 06B, a standard size for roller chains according to DIN ISO 606 with a pitch of 9,525 mm.
