Roller chain 32B-2, pitch 50.8 mm (2"), C45 steel

Product Description

Roller chain 32B-2 (duplex, pitch 50.8 mm) is a drive component used where durability and dimensional repeatability matter. Pins, rollers and plates are hardened separately before assembly - as a European manufacturer, we treat this as standard, so the chain retains its original dimensions for a long time and does not "stretch" under load. 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 chain is suitable for drives in the processing and food industries, in sorting facilities and warehouses (pallet and roller conveyors), and also as a replacement part in existing chain drives of the same pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain has a pitch of 50.8 mm (2"), a roller of 29.21 mm and an inner width of 30.99 mm?

It is the 32B-2 roller chain according to DIN 8187 / ISO 606, double-strand (duplex). If the measured chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: roller chain 32B-2, pitch 50.8 mm (2"), C45 steel. The pitch is measured as the distance between the axes of adjacent pins.

How do I choose the right roller chain for an industrial drive?

The key is to determine three parameters: pitch, inner width and roller diameter - for 32B these are 50.8 mm, 30.99 mm and 29.21 mm respectively. In addition, operating conditions should be taken into account: load, rotational speed and environment (dust, moisture), in order to select the right version.

What is a duplex chain and when is it used?

A duplex chain is a design consisting of two parallel rows of links connected by common pins. It is used where the space for sprockets is limited (a wider sprocket with a larger pitch cannot be used) and the drive must transmit a higher torque than in the simplex version.

What should roller chains operating at high temperatures be lubricated with?

Standard grease will quickly run off or carbonise at high temperature. In such conditions, dedicated synthetic oils with added graphite or molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) perform better.

In what lengths are OZD chains sold?

As standard, we supply chains in convenient factory rolls of 5 metres or by the metre - tailored to the needs of maintenance departments.

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.
