Roller chain 16B-1, pitch 25.4 mm (1"), with rubber pad, bridge plate 1.85 mm, C45 steel

Product Description

Chain 16B-1 with rubber pad is a variant of the 16B-1 (simplex) chain fitted with a rubber top vulcanised onto the bridge plate - a solution used wherever gentle conveying and noise damping matter. The chain is made with a bridge plate of increased thickness 1.85 mm (standard 1.4-1.6 mm). The increased plate thickness raises the compressive strength, so it can carry heavier items than the standard version. This version can be used interchangeably with the standard one (1.4-1.6 mm) - both run on the same sprockets. It is also permissible to combine a standard section with a reinforced one in a single chain, provided that a suitable connector matched to both plate thicknesses is used.

The pad is made of NBR rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), which provides good resistance to oils, greases, fuels and common organic solvents while maintaining high elasticity. The standard operating temperature range is from -20°C to +100°C. The base chain is made of steel in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606.

Technical data

Applications

This 16B-1 variant performs well on lines where goods must not touch the metal parts of the chain - the pad cushions contact, increases grip and reduces conveyor noise. It is used, among others, in the food, packaging and logistics industries and in sorting centres, as well as in the glass and ceramics industries and in agriculture. The reinforced bridge plate is recommended for higher working loads and intensive operation of the conveyor line.

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"), with rubber pad, bridge plate 1.85 mm, C45 steel. The pitch is measured as the distance between the axes of adjacent pins.

What is the 16B-1 chain with rubber top used for?

For transporting products on conveyors in a way that protects them against scratching, damage or shifting relative to the chain - the rubber pad cushions contact and increases grip.

What material is the pad made of?

As standard, NBR rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), with a hardness of 75 ±5 ShA (standard). This material provides good resistance to oils, greases, fuels and common organic solvents while maintaining high elasticity.

Can the version with a reinforced bridge plate, bridge plate 1.85 mm be used interchangeably with the standard one (1.4-1.6 mm)?

Yes, both versions are fitted on the same sprockets. The reinforced plate increases compressive strength, which makes it possible to convey heavier items. A standard section can also be combined with a reinforced one in a single chain, provided that a suitable connector matched to both plate thicknesses is used.

What is the maximum width (L2) and height (h5) for 16B-1?

The pad width (L2) is a maximum of 30.00 mm, and the overall height of the chain with the pad (h5) is a maximum of 21.40 mm.

What is the weight of the 16B-1 chain with a rubber pad?

The 16B-1 chain with a rubber pad weighs 3.8 kg per running metre.

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.
