Chain 16B-1 with A1 attachment

Product Description

Roller chain 16B-1 with A1 attachment

Roller chain 16B-1 is a simplex chain with a pitch of 25.4 mm, used as a basic drive element in mechanical engineering. Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; as a European manufacturer, we guarantee full dimensional compatibility with sprockets made to the same standard. The chain is equipped with a bent type A-1 attachment (flight), fitted to selected outer links and used to mount conveyed or driving elements. 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

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 16B these are 25.4 mm, 17.02 mm and 15.88 mm respectively. In addition, the type and spacing of the attachments must be matched to the machine design.

What is an A-1 attachment and what is it used for?

The A-1 attachment is a single-sided bent attachment with one mounting hole, offset to the side of the link. It is mounted on selected links of the 16B 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 are the most common causes of chain breakage in machines?

In most cases it is not a material defect but operating errors: running without lubrication, worn sprockets or overloading the drive beyond the permissible chain parameters.

Where is this product used?

Chain 16B with A-1 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.
