The 16B-1 British Standard Series Chain (25.40 mm (1.000 in / 1″) pitch) is manufactured to precision BS 228 / ISO 606 (16B) / DIN 8187 specifications. Engineered for European drive systems, heavy-duty industrial machinery, conveyors, and mechanical power transmission, this British Standard chain provides superior fatigue life, accurate articulation, and outstanding wear endurance under sustained operating conditions.
Key Engineering Features & Performance Benefits
- Precision Pitch Alignment: Standardized 25.40 mm (1.000 in / 1″) pitch and 17.02 mm (0.670 in) inner width ensure perfect tooth engagement with British Standard sprockets, minimizing vibration and wear.
- High Breaking Strength: Delivers a minimum ultimate tensile breaking load of 60.0 kN (13,489 lbf) across its single strand (simplex) design.
- Superior Wear Components: Case-hardened alloy pins and solid rollers (15.88 mm (0.625 in) diameter) deliver exceptional resistance against pin galling, chain elongation, and fatigue cracking.
- Material & Treatment: High-Grade Heat-Treated Carbon / Alloy Steel. Precision heat treatment maximizes toughness and cyclic fatigue endurance.
- Factory Pre-Stressed & Pre-Lubricated: Pre-loaded during assembly to eliminate initial stretch and treated with high-grade rust-preventative industrial lubricants.
Primary Industrial & Commercial Applications
Widely utilized across manufacturing plant drives, automated packaging lines, agricultural machinery, printing equipment, bucket elevators, and heavy material handling conveyors.
Supplied per metre. Continuous lengths can be customized or joined using matching 16B connecting links and offset crank links.
