Frequently asked questions

Which leaf chain has a pitch of 15.875 mm, 8x8 plate lacing and a pin of 5.96 mm?

It is the leaf chain BL588. If the measured chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: leaf chain BL588, plate lacing 8x8.

Does a leaf chain work with sprockets?

No. A leaf chain has no rollers, so it runs over guide rollers or sheaves rather than sprockets.

How do I check leaf chain wear?

Measure the elongation of the chain over several pitches and compare it with the nominal length. If the elongation reaches approx. 3%, or if there are cracked or deformed plates or play on the pins, the chain must be replaced.
