ISO 10823:2004给出了工业应用中链条传动装置的选择指南，该传动装置由符合ISO 606的滚子链和链轮组成。其描述的选择程序和链条额定值为在规定条件下运行的滚子链传动提供了约15000小时的预期寿命。由于负载特性、环境条件和实现的维护存在很大差异，建议咨询链条和链轮供应商，以确保产品性能满足用户和本国际标准规定的要求。

ISO 10823:2004 gives guidelines for the selection of chain drives, composed of a roller chain and sprockets conformant with ISO 606, for industrial applications. The selection procedures and chain ratings it describes provide for roller chain drives operating under specified conditions with a life expectancy of approximately 15 000 h. Owing to the wide variations in loading characteristics, environmental conditions and achieved maintenance, it is desirable that the supplier of the chains and sprockets be consulted to ensure that the performance of the product meets the requirements specified both by the user and by this International Standard.
