Description

The NIS Roller Chain 12B-3 is a type of Triplex roller chain, a well-known manufacturer of high-quality roller chains. The 12B-3 chain is designed for applications requiring a combination of strength, durability, and reliability. This chain is commonly used in mechanical and industrial systems that demand consistent power transmission and long service life.

1. Chain Size and Classification:

• 12B refers to the size of the chain:
  • 12 indicates the pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. For the 12B chain, the pitch is typically 3/8 inch (or 9.525 mm).
  • B designates a specific style of chain, typically indicating the use of hardened steel rollers and pins that are designed to withstand wear and stress.

2. Triplex Chain:

• Triplex refers to the chain having three rows of rollers, which offers the following advantages:
  • Higher Load Capacity: The triplex design allows for increased strength and load-bearing capabilities, making it ideal for applications that require the handling of substantial forces.
  • Improved Durability: Triplex chains are known for their increased durability and reliability, particularly in environments with heavy-duty applications or high stress.

3. Common Applications:

• The 12B-3 Triplex roller chain is widely used in various industries where high strength, reliability, and consistent performance are necessary, including:
  • Industrial machinery, such as conveyors, production lines, and processing equipment.
  • Power transmission systems that need to handle substantial loads and continuous operation.
  • Heavy-duty equipment in industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and mining.
  • Automated systems and other mechanical devices requiring robust chain solutions.

4. Material and Construction:

• Steel: The 12B-3 roller chain is typically made from high-quality, heat-treated steel, which offers excellent strength and resistance to wear and tear.
• Corrosion Resistance: Some versions of this chain may have a corrosion-resistant coating (e.g., zinc plating), which makes it suitable for outdoor and corrosive environments.
• Heat Treatment: Components like the rollers and pins are often heat-treated to increase their resistance to wear and extend their operational life.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication is crucial to reducing friction and wear. Regular lubrication ensures smooth operation and prolongs the chain’s service life.

5. Dimensions:

• The 12B-3 Triplex roller chain typically features:
  • A pitch of 3/8 inch (9.525 mm), which is the distance between the centers of adjacent pins.
  • Stronger links designed to handle heavy loads and provide superior durability compared to simplex or duplex chains.

6. Advantages of Triplex Chains:

• Higher Load Capacity: Triplex chains are stronger than simplex or duplex chains, making them suitable for high-load applications.
• Increased Durability: Due to the additional row of rollers, triplex chains provide longer service life, even in harsh operating conditions.
• Reduced Maintenance: Triplex chains generally require less frequent maintenance due to their enhanced strength and durability.
