Roller chain 16B-1, pitch 25.4 mm (1"), with attachment SA1, C45 steel

Product Description

Roller chain 16B-1 is a simplex chain with a pitch of 25.4 mm, used as a basic drive element in mechanical engineering. As a European manufacturer, we ensure a precise fit of the pin in the bush, which limits the development of play and extends chain service life. An upright SA-1 attachment is mounted on selected outer links - a plate set perpendicular to the chain, used for fastening flights or dividers for conveyed items. The Ozdowski brand hardens pins, rollers and plates individually, before the links are assembled into a complete chain - as a result, our chains are approx. 20% stronger than the standard requires and therefore more durable and robust when working under load.

Technical data

Applications

The 16B chain with SA-1 attachment is used in conveyors, feeders and transport lines, where a flight, divider or other working element fixed to 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 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 attachment SA1, 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 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 the SA-1 attachment and what is it used for?

The SA-1 attachment is an upright attachment with one mounting hole, fitted perpendicular to the chain plate. 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.

How can you check that the chain you are buying will match the old one removed from the machine?

Measure three parameters: the pitch (distance between pin centres), the inner width and the roller diameter, and compare them with the technical data of the new chain - this is enough to avoid ordering the wrong pitch.

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.
