Chain 08B-1 with fluoroelastomer rubber pad

Product Description

Chain 08B-1 with fluoroelastomer rubber pad - a simplex conveyor chain 08B-1 whose rollers are covered with a layer of rubber, so that the conveyed load is protected against scratching and shifting on the conveyor. The pad is made of fluoroelastomer (FKM) instead of standard NBR rubber, which gives significantly higher chemical resistance than standard NBR rubber - it withstands contact with fuels, oils, acids, alcohols and organic solvents, additionally has self-lubricating properties and an extended operating range from -40°C to +250°C.

The pad's resistance comes from FKM rubber (fluoroelastomer) - it gives significantly higher chemical resistance than standard NBR rubber - it withstands contact with fuels, oils, acids, alcohols and organic solvents, additionally has self-lubricating properties and operates within a temperature range from -40°C to +250°C. The chain itself is made of steel in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606, which retains the full strength typical of the 08B-1 series.

Technical specifications

Applications

Applications of the 08B-1 chain with a rubber pad mainly include conveyors on which the transported product must be protected against scratching, shifting or excessive noise. It is used mainly in the food and packaging industries, in logistics and sorting centres, and also in the glass and ceramics industries and in agricultural machinery. The FKM pad version is recommended where the chain comes into contact with oils, fuels, aggressive cleaning agents or operates at higher temperatures, e.g. in painting lines, washing systems or the automotive industry.

FAQ

How does the 08B-1 chain with a rubber pad differ from an ordinary 08B-1 roller chain?

Mainly for conveying goods that could be scratched or shift on a standard chain - the rubber cushions contact and increases grip on the transported product.

What is the rubber pad made of?

As standard, FKM rubber (fluoroelastomer), with a hardness of 75 ±5 ShA (standard). This material provides significantly higher chemical resistance than standard NBR rubber - it withstands contact with fuels, oils, acids, alcohols and organic solvents, and additionally has self-lubricating properties.

How does the FKM pad differ from standard NBR rubber?

Fluoroelastomer (FKM) has significantly higher chemical and thermal resistance (up to +250°C) than standard NBR rubber, making it suitable for operation in contact with oils, fuels and at higher temperatures.

What is the maximum pad width and height for 08B-1?

The maximum pad width (L2) is 14.50 mm, and the maximum overall height (h5) is 12.30 mm.

How much does 1 metre of 08B-1 chain weigh?

The 08B-1 chain with a rubber pad weighs 1.2 kg per running metre.
