Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the connecting link 16B-1 fit?

The 16B-1 roller chain according to DIN 8187 / ISO 606, which has a pitch of 25.4 mm (1"), a roller of 15.88 mm and an inner width of 17.02 mm. If your chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: straight link (connecting link) 16B-1, pitch 25.4 mm (1"), with attachment WSK2, stainless steel.

How do I fit a connecting link?

Bring the chain ends together, insert the link pins into the bushes of the last inner links, fit the plate and secure it with a spring clip or a cotter pin. Fitting is easiest when the chain lies on the sprocket.

Does the 16B-1 chain fit ASA 80 sprockets?

No. The 16B chain (European standard) and the ASA 80 chain (American standard) have the same pitch but a different roller diameter and inner width. These systems should not be mixed.

Does a connecting link weaken the chain?

A correctly fitted connecting link works like the other links. Under heavy loads and vibrations, check the locking element (spring clip or cotter pin) during drive inspections.

Do stainless components need lubrication?

Yes. Stainless steel does not rust, but lubrication still reduces friction and wear of the joints. In food applications, use a lubricant approved for food contact.
