Roller chain 10B-2, pitch 15.875 mm (5/8"), stainless steel

Product Description

The stainless roller chain 10B-2 is a duplex chain with a pitch of 15.875 mm, made of corrosion-resistant steel. Manufactured in accordance with the standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606; as a European manufacturer, we guarantee dimensional compatibility with sprockets of the same standard, regardless of the material.

Technical data

Applications

Used in the food and pharmaceutical industries - on production lines and conveyors washed daily with hot water and cleaning agents, where a carbon steel chain would quickly corrode.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain has a pitch of 15.875 mm (5/8"), a roller of 10.16 mm and an inner width of 9.65 mm?

It is the 10B-2 roller chain according to DIN 8187 / ISO 606, double-strand (duplex). If the measured chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: roller chain 10B-2, pitch 15.875 mm (5/8"), stainless steel. The pitch is measured as the distance between the axes of adjacent pins.

How do I select a stainless 10B chain for a drive or conveyor?

Three parameters are key: pitch, inner width and roller diameter - for 10B they are 15.875 mm, 9.65 mm and 10.16 mm respectively. In addition, in a corrosive environment it is worth assessing whether standard stainless steel is sufficient or whether the acid-resistant 316L version is needed.

What grade of steel is the stainless chain in this version made of?

The standard stainless version is made of chromium-nickel steel (type 304) containing approx. 18% chromium and 8-10% nickel. It performs well in humid conditions and in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where carbon steel would corrode.

What is the purpose of the duplex design in a roller chain?

A duplex chain consists of two parallel rows of links mounted on common pins. It is chosen when the installation space does not allow a sprocket with a larger pitch and the drive must transmit a higher torque than with the simplex version.

Can a stainless chain be washed with high-pressure water and cleaning agents?

Yes, this is one of the main applications of this material - daily washing with hot water and alkaline or acidic agents is typical in the food industry. However, it is advisable to relubricate the chain after washing, as strong detergents remove the protective lubricant.

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this chain - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may vary depending on the warehouse.
