Description

1. Chain Size and Classification:

• 06B refers to the size of the chain:
  • 06 indicates the pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. For the 06B chain, the pitch is 3/16 inch (or 4.76 mm).
  • B denotes the chain style, generally meaning that the pins and rollers are made from hardened steel, which enhances the chain’s strength, durability, and wear resistance.
• 1 at the end indicates that the chain is a Simplex chain, meaning it has one row of rollers. This makes it simpler, more affordable, and suitable for moderate-load applications.

2. Simplex Chain:

• A Simplex chain has one row of rollers, offering several advantages:
  • Cost-Effective: The 06B-1 simplex chain is more affordable than duplex or triplex chains due to its simpler design and fewer components.
  • Moderate Load Capacity: It is designed for applications that need to handle light to moderate loads, making it suitable for a variety of industrial systems.
  • Simple Design: With a single row of rollers, this chain is easier to install, maintain, and replace compared to duplex or triplex chains.
  • Compact and Lightweight: The simplex design leads to a lighter, more compact chain that can fit into spaces with weight or size constraints.

3. Common Applications:

The 06B-1 Simplex roller chain is typically used in light-duty applications, such as:

• Conveyor Systems: Ideal for material handling systems where reliable power transmission for light loads is needed.
• Agricultural Equipment: Found in machinery such as seeders, small harvesters, and other types of agricultural machines.
• Power Transmission: Suitable for small machinery requiring efficient and moderate power transfer.
• General Industrial Machinery: Used in systems such as small conveyors, light-duty manufacturing equipment, and food processing machinery.

4. Material and Construction:

• Steel Construction: The 06B-1 roller chain is made from high-quality steel, ensuring its durability and wear resistance under typical operating conditions.
• Corrosion Resistance: Some versions of the chain may come with corrosion-resistant coatings (like zinc plating) to help prevent rust, particularly in environments with moisture or chemicals.
• Heat Treatment: The pins and rollers are heat-treated to improve hardness, strength, and wear resistance, contributing to the longevity of the chain.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication is key to reducing friction, preventing wear, and ensuring the smooth operation of the chain, which also extends its service life.

5. Dimensions:

• The 06B-1 Simplex roller chain has the following key dimensions:
  • Pitch: 3/16 inch (4.76 mm), which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins.
  • Simplex Design: The chain has one row of rollers, making it simpler and more cost-effective compared to duplex or triplex chains.

6. Advantages of Simplex Chains:

• Cost-Effective: The 06B-1 simplex chain is less expensive than duplex or triplex chains due to its simpler design with fewer components.
• Moderate Load Capacity: It is designed for applications with light to moderate load requirements, such as small conveyors, agricultural machinery, and general light industrial equipment.
• Easier to Maintain: The single-row roller design makes the chain easier to install and maintain, reducing downtime and overall maintenance costs.
• Compact and Lightweight: The 06B-1 simplex chain’s compact design makes it ideal for systems with space or weight restrictions, as it is lighter and more space-efficient than duplex or triplex chains.
