Anyone have the spec for SBAC AS902 aircraft chain?

Long shot but here goes.

I’m trying to reverse engineer something for our Horsa and found a reference to SBAC AS902/97P aircraft roller chain. I’m trying to find out it’s spec or at least it’s pitch (most likely 0.375″ or 0.5″).

Google-fu turns up some references to AS902 chain in various connotations but not freely available specification. Any of you chaps with the archives of aircraft standards have anything on it?

Should point out it gives no AM reference code – it’s an AS/SBAC standard.

Hi Jed,

Please find Hunting-Percival Design leaflet DB14-03 for sprockets as requested.

Hope it’s of use to you!

Cheers Dave, you’re a star.

Oddly enough I had a gut feeling you’d be the one to know. The other info about the cable connectors was useful too. Top stuff.

AS902 chain

Hopefully this will work!!

There should be a scan of Hunting-Percival Design Data Sheet DB14-01 for Unified and non-Unified chains embedded here! If not follow the link.

Hunting Percival DB14-01 Chains

AS902 is tabled on the last page which gives pitch at 8mm.

The data is dated 24 Apr 1961, but the scanner can’t get full length page in and has chopped off the leaflet number.

Hope that helps

Regards

Dave
