Conveyor
This is the technical data sheet for a floor inverted conveyor with trolley. I'm confused by the use twice of the term 'pas', which I initially translated as 'pitch':
ALLONGEMENT DE LA CHAINE
Ce phénomène est NORMAL et provient de l'usure apparaissant aux points de contact des axes et des maillons (la chaîne peut être considérée comme étant usée, lorsque la longueur de son pas est supérieure de 3 % à celle du pas de chaîne.)
If you don't know this type of installation, look here:

"Most general purpose chain in our attachment chain line-up.
Divided into Double Pitch Chain and RS Attachment Chain by the shape of the plate. All parts have been heat treated, increasing their tensile strength and fatigue strength."

Comme on ne fait que comparer les deux pas (le pas normal et celui de la chaine usée), je pense qu'il est normal de traduire les deux par "pitch".

You're welcome, Claude, but I've have even faster answers, you know, even if not all of the the best ones though ... :-)

Note from asker:
| Thanks Radu - yes, this does confirm my choice of 'pitch' (PS you deserve a prize for the most rapid repsonse I have ever had!) |

Ah, memories of hook-shaped teeth on my ancient velocipede with Sturmey-Archer gears ...
FONCTIONNEMENT
La chaîne du convoyeur est entraînée par une chaîne munie de dents reliant une roue moteur dentée et une roue suiveuse dentée. Elle prend appui sur les roues et elle est maintenue en prise par un guide chaîne en acier.
Maybe the 2 "pas" refer to the 2 chains, the driver and the driven? Expert opinions gratefully received.
