Description

1. Chain Size and Classification:

• 10B refers to the size of the chain:
  • 10 indicates the pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. For the 10B chain, the pitch is 5/16 inch (or 7.94 mm).
  • B denotes the chain style, often indicating the use of hardened steel rollers and pins, which enhances the chain’s strength, wear resistance, and durability.
• 1 at the end indicates that the chain is a Simplex chain, meaning it has one row of rollers. This design is simpler and more cost-effective compared to duplex or triplex chains, making it ideal for medium-duty applications.

2. Simplex Chain:

• A Simplex chain has one row of rollers, providing several key benefits:
  • Cost-Effective: The 10B-1 simplex chain is generally more affordable than duplex or triplex chains due to its simpler construction and fewer components.
  • Moderate Load Capacity: It is designed to handle moderate loads, making it ideal for systems that don’t require high load capacities.
  • Simple Design: A single row of rollers makes the chain easier to install, maintain, and replace.
  • Compact and Lightweight: The simplex design results in a lighter, more compact chain that is suitable for applications with space or weight constraints.

3. Common Applications:

The 10B-1 Simplex roller chain is suitable for various medium-duty applications, such as:

• Conveyor Systems: Often used in material handling systems for light to moderate loads.
• Agricultural Equipment: Can be found in farming machinery such as seeders, harvesters, and plows.
• Power Transmission: Used in machinery requiring reliable power transfer for medium-duty systems.
• General Machinery: Ideal for applications in light manufacturing, food processing, and packaging equipment.

4. Material and Construction:

• Steel Construction: The 10B-1 roller chain is made from high-quality steel, providing durability and resistance to wear.
• Corrosion Resistance: Some versions of the chain may feature corrosion-resistant coatings (such as zinc plating) to protect against rust, especially in damp or corrosive environments.
• Heat Treatment: The pins and rollers are heat-treated to increase hardness, strength, and wear resistance, contributing to the chain’s longevity and overall performance.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication is necessary for the smooth operation of the chain, reducing friction and wear while extending the service life.

5. Dimensions:

• The 10B-1 Simplex roller chain has the following key dimensions:
  • Pitch: 5/16 inch (7.94 mm), which is the standard distance between the centers of two adjacent pins.
  • Simplex Design: The chain has one row of rollers, which offers a simple and cost-effective design compared to duplex or triplex chains.

6. Advantages of Simplex Chains:

• Cost-Effective: The 10B-1 simplex chain is more affordable than duplex or triplex chains, as it features a simpler design and fewer components.
• Moderate Load Capacity: It is suitable for applications where moderate load-bearing capacity is required, such as light conveyors, agricultural equipment, and general machinery.
• Easier to Maintain: The simplex chain’s simple construction makes it easier to install and maintain, which can help reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
• Compact and Lightweight: The 10B-1 simplex chain is ideal for applications where space or weight is a concern due to its compact and lightweight design.
