Description

1. Chain Size and Classification:

• 16B refers to the size of the chain:
  • 16 indicates the pitch, which is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pins. For the 16B chain, the pitch is 1/4 inch (or 6.35 mm).
  • B refers to a specific style of chain that typically uses hardened steel rollers and pins for enhanced strength, wear resistance, and durability.

2. Duplex Chain:

• Duplex means that the chain features two rows of rollers, providing multiple advantages over a Simplex chain, which only has a single row:
  • Higher Load Capacity: The duplex design allows the chain to carry more load than a Simplex chain, making the 16B-2 chain suitable for medium-duty applications where higher strength is necessary.
  • Improved Durability: The two rows of rollers distribute the load more evenly across the chain, reducing wear and enhancing the overall service life of the chain.

3. Common Applications:

• The 16B-2 Duplex roller chain is ideal for a variety of medium-duty industrial applications:
  • Industrial Machinery: Used in systems such as conveyor belts, assembly lines, and other machines where reliable power transmission is required.
  • Power Transmission Systems: Suitable for applications that require the efficient transfer of power, especially when moderate loads need to be handled.
  • Automated Systems: For machines that require continuous and smooth operation with reliable power transmission.
  • General Machinery: Commonly used in industries like manufacturing, agriculture, and other settings that require durable and high-performing chains.

4. Material and Construction:

• Steel: The 16B-2 roller chain is typically made from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear.
• Corrosion Resistance: Some versions may feature corrosion-resistant coatings such as zinc plating, making them more suitable for use in moist or corrosive environments.
• Heat Treatment: Components such as the pins and rollers are often heat-treated to improve hardness and wear resistance, increasing the chain’s longevity.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication is crucial for reducing friction, ensuring smooth operation, and extending the service life of the chain.

5. Dimensions:

• The 16B-2 Duplex roller chain features:
  • Pitch: 1/4 inch (6.35 mm), which is the standard distance between the centers of two adjacent pins.
  • Duplex Design: The chain has two rows of rollers, which provide enhanced strength and load-bearing capacity compared to simplex chains.

6. Advantages of Duplex Chains:

• Higher Load Capacity: The duplex design allows the 16B-2 chain to support higher loads than a simplex chain, making it ideal for applications that require more strength.
• Improved Durability: With two rows of rollers, the load is distributed more evenly across the chain, which reduces wear and enhances the longevity of the chain.
• Reduced Maintenance: Duplex chains tend to require less maintenance compared to simplex chains due to their increased strength and durability, which results in fewer breakdowns and reduced downtime.
• Efficient Power Transmission: The 16B-2 duplex roller chain offers smooth and reliable power transmission, ensuring consistent performance in various applications.
