Roller chain 16B-1, pitch 25.4 mm (1"), with attachment WSK2, C45 steel

Product Description

Chain 16B-1 is an industrial-grade simplex roller chain with a pitch of 25.4 mm, designed for use in drives of machines and production equipment. Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; as a Polish manufacturer, we guarantee full dimensional compatibility with sprockets made to the same standard. The chain is fitted with a WSK-2 type attachment (pusher) in an upright design, mounted on selected outer links and projecting above the chain plate. Thanks to hardening each component separately, even before the whole chain is assembled, Ozdowski products achieve a breaking strength about 20% higher than the minimum values specified by the standard.

Technical data

Applications

The 16B chain with WSK-2 attachment is used in conveyors, feeders and transport lines, where a pusher, partition or other working element fixed to the attachment moves 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 WSK2, 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 WSK-2 attachment and what is it used for?

The WSK-2 attachment is a widened upright attachment with two mounting holes. 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 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.
