16B-3 triplex plate sprockets

16B-3 plate sprockets are triplex plate wheels for 16B-3 chain of 1" (25.4 mm) pitch to DIN 8187 / ISO 606. They are used in the heaviest drives, where even a duplex chain does not provide enough load capacity.

16B-3 triplex plate wheels transmit enormous forces

Triplex 16B chain transmits enormous forces without moving to a much larger pitch. A plate wheel without a hub lets you adapt the sprocket to an existing design, and a C45 steel plate wheel is easy to machine and weld after preheating.
