Chain 16B-1 with WSA2 attachment

Product Description

Roller chain 16B-1 with WSA2 attachment

Chain 16B-1 is a simplex roller chain compliant with the European dimensional standard, with a pitch of 25.4 mm. 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 fitted with an upright WSA-2 type attachment (carrier), mounted on selected outer links and projecting above the chain plate. Ozdowski hardens each chain component individually before final assembly - thanks to this, our chains are more durable and stronger, with a strength reserve reaching approx. 20% above the requirements of the standard.

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 the WSA-2 attachment and what is it used for?

The WSA-2 attachment is a widened upright attachment with one mounting hole. 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 tell that a roller chain needs replacing?

The key sign is chain elongation exceeding approximately 2-3% of its original length. Other symptoms include cracked rollers, visible rust on the pins and uneven running on the sprockets.

Where is this product used?

The 16B chain with WSA-2 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.
