Roller chain 10B-2, pitch 15.875 mm (5/8"), with attachment WK2, C45 steel

Product Description

The roller chain 10B-2 is a duplex chain with a pitch of 15.875 mm, used as a basic drive element in mechanical engineering. Pins, rollers and plates are hardened separately before assembly - as a European manufacturer, we treat this as standard, so the chain retains its original dimensions for a long time and does not "stretch" under load. The chain is fitted with a bent WK-2 type attachment (carrier), mounted on selected outer links and used for fastening conveyed or driving elements. Thanks to hardening each component separately, even before the whole chain is assembled, Ozdowski products achieve a breaking strength about 20% higher than the minimum values specified by the standard.

Technical data

Applications

Chain 10B with WK-2 attachment is used in conveyors, feeders and transport lines, where a flight, partition or other working element mounted on the attachment pushes or lifts the conveyed goods. Typical applications include packaging lines, sorting machines and conveyors in the food industry and agricultural machinery.

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"), with attachment WK2, C45 steel. The pitch is measured as the distance between the axes of adjacent pins.

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 10B these are 15.875 mm, 9.65 mm and 10.16 mm respectively. In addition, the type and spacing of the attachments must be matched to the machine design.

What is a WK-2 attachment and what is it used for?

The WK-2 attachment is a widened bent attachment with two mounting holes. It is mounted on selected links of the 10B 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.

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.

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.
