Product features
1. High load capacity and stability
The 08B double-strand roller chain features a dual-strand design that significantly increases its load-bearing capacity compared to single-strand chains. This structure distributes weight evenly across two parallel strands, reducing stress on individual components and minimizing the risk of breakage. With a standard pitch of 12.7mm (0.5 inches) and a tensile strength of up to 12,000N, it can handle heavy-duty applications without compromising stability.
2. Wear-resistant materials and long life
Constructed from high-quality carbon steel, the 08B chain undergoes rigorous heat treatment to enhance hardness and durability. The precision-engineered rollers and bushings reduce friction between moving parts, ensuring smooth operation even under continuous use. This results in extended service life and reduced maintenance costs, making it ideal for high-speed and high-load environments.
3. Optimized roller design
The roller design of the 08B chain is optimized to distribute stress evenly across the entire contact surface. This reduces wear on critical components and prevents premature failure. The sealed bearing points further minimize lubrication frequency, ensuring reliable performance in dusty or wet conditions.
4. Extensive compatibility and adaptability
The 08B double-strand chain adheres to international standards (e.g., ANSI, ISO), ensuring compatibility with most industrial sprockets and systems. Its modular design allows for easy customization, including adjustable lengths and attachments, making it suitable for conveyor belts, agricultural machinery, and manufacturing equipment.
5. Low noise and efficient transmission
The precision-fit components of the 08B chain reduce vibration and noise during operation, creating a quieter working environment. Its efficient power transmission minimizes energy loss, contributing to cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
6. Easy to install and maintain
Designed with user convenience in mind, the 08B chain features a simple snap-link system for quick installation and replacement. Regular lubrication is straightforward, and the chain’s modular design allows for easy inspection and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
FAQ
Q1: How to do I select the correct length for my 08B double-strand chain?
A: Measure the distance between sprockets and refer to the chain’s pitch (12.7mm). Use the formula: Total number of links = (2 × center distance / pitch) + (number of sprocket teeth / 2). Always round up to the nearest even number for double-strand chains.
Q2: Does the 08B chain require frequent lubrication?
A: Regular lubrication is recommended every 50-100 hours of operation, depending on environmental conditions. Use high-temperature, low-viscosity lubricants for optimal performance.
Q3: Can the 08B chain operate in wet or corrosive environments?
A: The standard 08B chain is suitable for moderate moisture. For corrosive environments, consider stainless steel or nickel-plated variants.
Q4: What is the maximum recommended speed for the 08B chain?
A: The 08B chain can operate efficiently at speeds up to 15 m/s (492 ft/s), depending on load and lubrication. Always consult the manufacturer’s specifications for high-speed applications.
Q5: How do I know when to replace my 08B chain?
A: Replace the chain if elongation exceeds 3% of its original length, or if visible wear, cracks, or corrosion are present. Regular inspections help prevent unexpected failures.
