Description

1. Chain Size and Classification:

• 05B refers to the size of the chain:
  • 05 indicates the pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. For the 05B chain, the pitch is 1/8 inch (or 3.18 mm).
  • B denotes the style of the chain, which typically means the pins and rollers are made from hardened steel, offering better strength, durability, and wear resistance.
• 1 at the end indicates that the chain is a Simplex chain, meaning it has one row of rollers, which makes it simpler and more cost-effective than duplex or triplex chains.

2. Simplex Chain:

• A Simplex chain has one row of rollers, providing the following benefits:
  • Cost-Effective: The 05B-1 simplex chain is less expensive than duplex or triplex chains, as it has fewer components and a simpler design.
  • Moderate Load Capacity: It is designed for applications that require light to moderate loads, making it suitable for smaller machinery and systems.
  • Simpler Design: The chain features a single row of rollers, making it easy to install, maintain, and replace.
  • Compact and Lightweight: The simplex design results in a lighter and more compact chain, which is ideal for applications with limited space or weight constraints.

3. Common Applications:

The 05B-1 Simplex roller chain is typically used in light-duty applications, such as:

• Small Conveyor Systems: Suitable for light material handling applications that require reliable power transmission for small loads.
• Agricultural Equipment: Found in smaller agricultural machinery such as seeders, sprayers, or other farming equipment with lighter power transmission needs.
• Power Transmission: Suitable for small machines or tools requiring moderate power transfer in lighter-duty applications.
• General Industrial Machinery: Often used in light industrial equipment such as small conveyors, packaging machines, or other systems with lower power needs.

4. Material and Construction:

• Steel Construction: The 05B-1 roller chain is made from high-quality steel, which enhances its durability and resistance to wear under normal operating conditions.
• Corrosion Resistance: Some versions of the chain may feature corrosion-resistant coatings (such as zinc plating) to protect against rust, especially in environments where moisture or chemicals are present.
• Heat Treatment: The pins and rollers are heat-treated to increase their hardness and strength, providing greater durability and wear resistance.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication is essential for reducing friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of the chain.

5. Dimensions:

• The 05B-1 Simplex roller chain has the following key dimensions:
  • Pitch: 1/8 inch (3.18 mm), which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins.
  • Simplex Design: The chain features a single row of rollers, making it more straightforward and less costly compared to duplex or triplex chains.

6. Advantages of Simplex Chains:

• Cost-Effective: The 05B-1 simplex chain is an affordable option for systems that do not require heavy-duty performance, as it has a simpler design and fewer parts.
• Light to Moderate Load Capacity: It is designed for applications that require moderate to light load-bearing capacity, making it perfect for small conveyors, agricultural machines, and light machinery.
• Easier to Maintain: With a simpler design, the 05B-1 chain is easier to install, maintain, and replace, reducing maintenance downtime and costs.
• Compact and Lightweight: Its compact size and light weight make it ideal for machines and applications where space or weight is a concern.
