Chain 08B-1 with WSA2 attachment

Product Description

Roller chain 08B-1 with WSA2 attachment

Chain 08B-1 (simplex) is a proven solution for power transmission in mechanical systems, made with a pitch of 12.7 mm. Pins, rollers and plates are hardened separately before assembly - as a Polish manufacturer we treat this as standard, which means the chain retains its original dimensions for a long time and does not "stretch" under load. The chain is fitted with an upright WSA-2 type attachment (carrier), mounted on selected outer links and projecting above the chain plate. The Ozdowski brand hardens pins, rollers and plates individually, before the links are assembled into a complete chain - as a result, our chains are approx. 20% stronger than the standard requires and therefore more durable and robust when working under load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do I select the right roller chain with attachment for an industrial drive?

The key is to determine three parameters of the chain itself: pitch, inner width and roller diameter - for 08B these are 12.7 mm, 7.75 mm and 8.51 mm respectively. In addition, the type and spacing of the attachments must be matched to the machine design.

What is the WSA-2 attachment and what is it used for?

The WSA-2 attachment is a widened upright attachment with one mounting hole. It is mounted on selected links of the 08B chain to fix conveyed elements, flights, dividers or other working elements to the drive - the exact spacing of the attachments must be matched to the machine design.

What is the difference between a bent and an upright attachment?

The bent attachment (designations without the letter S, e.g. A-1, K-1, WA-2, WK-2) has a plate bent into an L shape and fixed to the side of the chain, close to its axis. The upright attachment (with the letter S, e.g. SA-1, SK-1, WSA-2, WSK-2) has a plate mounted perpendicularly, projecting upwards from the chain. The choice depends on how the flight, divider or other element is fixed in the specific machine.

How does the hardness of the pin and roller affect the chain's resistance to elongation?

The pin and roller are the components subject to the greatest friction. A precisely machined, hard pin wears more slowly, which limits the build-up of play in the links and the "stretching" of the chain over time.

Where is this product used?

The 08B chain with WSA-2 attachment is used in conveyors, feeders and transport lines, where a flight, divider or other working element fixed to the attachment pushes or lifts the conveyed goods. Typical applications include packaging lines, sorting machines and conveyors in the food industry and agricultural machinery.
