Roller chain 16B-1, pitch 25.4 mm (1"), for curved running, C45 steel

Product Description

Chain 16B-1 (simplex) is a proven solution for power transmission in mechanical systems, made with a pitch of 25.4 mm. 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. In Ozdowski chains, each component is hardened separately before being assembled into a finished link - which is why their actual strength exceeds the requirements of the standard by about 20%, meaning greater durability and resistance to breaking.

Technical data

Applications

The side-bow chain is used in conveyors that must negotiate a bend in their route using one common drive - without the need to install two separate drives at the curve. Typical applications are transport lines in the bakery industry and other conveyors with a curved section of route.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain has a pitch of 25.4 mm (1"), a roller of 15.88 mm and an inner width of 17.02 mm?

It is the 16B-1 roller chain according to DIN 8187 / ISO 606, single-strand. If the measured chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: roller chain 16B-1, pitch 25.4 mm (1"), for curved running, C45 steel. The pitch is measured as the distance between the axes of adjacent pins.

How do I choose the right roller chain for an industrial drive?

The key is to determine three parameters: pitch, inner width and roller diameter - for 16B these are 25.4 mm, 17.02 mm and 15.88 mm respectively. In addition, operating conditions should be taken into account: load, rotational speed and environment (dust, moisture), in order to select the right version.

How does the SB (side-bow) chain differ from the standard version of the same pitch?

In the SB chain the pins are made at a special angle, and the clearance obtained in this way allows the chain to be bent to the radius R appropriate for the given pitch. This solution allows a conveyor to negotiate a bend in its route using one common drive, without installing two separate drives at the curve - used e.g. in the bakery industry. Please confirm the exact value of radius R for this pitch with our sales department.

How often should chain tension in a drive be checked?

The first tension check should be carried out after the first 50 operating hours (running-in period), and then regularly - once a month or in line with the machine's inspection schedule.

What are the benefits of using a professional roller chain breaker?

A dedicated chain breaker allows the pin to be pushed out axially and in a controlled manner, without deforming the side plates of the link - which is particularly important with precisely hardened components.

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.
