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 refers to a specific style of chain that typically uses hardened steel rollers and pins, enhancing its strength, wear resistance, and overall durability.

2. Duplex Chain:

• Duplex means that the chain has two rows of rollers, offering several advantages over a Simplex chain:
  • Higher Load Capacity: The duplex design allows the 10B-2 chain to carry more load than a Simplex chain (which only has a single row of rollers). This makes the 10B-2 ideal for applications that require higher strength and load-bearing capabilities.
  • Improved Durability: The load is distributed more evenly between the two rows of rollers, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of the chain.

3. Common Applications:

• The 10B-2 Duplex roller chain is widely used in medium-duty industrial and mechanical applications where reliable power transmission and strength are essential:
  • Industrial Machinery: Used in conveyor systems, packaging lines, and other production machinery that require dependable and consistent power transmission.
  • Power Transmission Systems: Ideal for applications needing efficient and reliable power transfer under moderate loads.
  • Automated Systems: Used in systems and machines requiring continuous operation and consistent power delivery.
  • General Machinery: Common in industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and more, where medium-duty chains are necessary.

4. Material and Construction:

• Steel: The 10B-2 roller chain is typically made from high-quality steel, ensuring strength and durability.
• Corrosion Resistance: Some versions of the chain may be treated with corrosion-resistant coatings (e.g., zinc plating), making it suitable for use in humid or corrosive environments.
• Heat Treatment: The pins and rollers of the chain are often heat-treated to improve hardness, wear resistance, and overall longevity.
• Lubrication: Regular lubrication is essential to reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation and extending the chain’s service life.

5. Dimensions:

• The 10B-2 Duplex roller chain features:
  • Pitch: 5/16 inch (7.94 mm), which is the standard distance between the centers of two adjacent pins.
  • Duplex Design: The chain has two rows of rollers, which improves load capacity and durability compared to a simplex chain.

6. Advantages of Duplex Chains:

• Higher Load Capacity: The duplex design enables the 10B-2 chain to support higher loads than a Simplex chain, making it ideal for applications requiring more strength.
• Improved Durability: By distributing the load evenly across two rows of rollers, the duplex design reduces wear and improves the chain’s overall service life.
• Reduced Maintenance: Duplex chains like the 10B-2 generally require less maintenance than simplex chains due to their higher strength and durability, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
• Efficient Power Transmission: The 10B-2 duplex roller chain offers smooth and efficient power transmission, making it reliable for continuous operation.
