Roller chain 40B-1, pitch 63.5 mm (2 1/2"), C45 steel

Product Description

Chain 40B-1 is a simplex roller chain compliant with the European dimensional standard, with a pitch of 63.5 mm. Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; as a Polish manufacturer, we guarantee full dimensional compatibility with sprockets made to the same standard. In Ozdowski chains, each component is hardened separately before being assembled into a finished link - which is why their actual strength exceeds the requirements of the standard by about 20%, meaning greater durability and resistance to breaking.

Technical data

Applications

The chain is used in production machine drives, transport conveyors, industrial mills and mixers, sorting lines and in maintenance as a replacement part for existing chain drives.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain has a pitch of 63.5 mm (2 1/2"), a roller of 39.37 mm and an inner width of 38.1 mm?

It is the 40B-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 40B-1, pitch 63.5 mm (2 1/2"), 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 40B these are 63.5 mm, 38.1 mm and 39.37 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.

How do you calculate the required roller chain length for a machine?

In practice, the easiest way is to count the number of links in the old chain (remembering to include the connecting link). Always buy a chain with an even number of links so that it can be closed with a standard connecting link.

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.

How can industrial chains be cleaned of dirt and mud without damaging the links?

Avoid aggressive acid cleaners and pressure washers at close range, as water can be forced under the rollers. Dedicated cleaning agents and soft brushes are a better solution.

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.
