Drive Roller Chains
Roller chains are the most common type of drive chains. They are standardized according to ISO 606 (ČSN 02 3311, DIN 8187), i.e. chains of the European B-series, or according to ISO 606 (DIN 8188), i.e. chains of the US A-series, also known as ASA or ANSI.
The chains consist of outer links with pins and inner links with bushes on which rotating rollers are mounted. The chains are made of steel. The exact grade of steel, production method and heat treatment of the steel of the individual parts vary by chain type, size and manufacturer.
The standard design of drive roller chains can be simplex, duplex or triplex.
Classic (B Series - DIN 8187)
06B, 08B, 10B, 12B ... 72B roller chains DIN 8187 - B series (european) - simplex, duplex or triplex and many other special types.
Classic (A Series - DIN 8188)

INOX – Stainless SteelHigh-alloy steel with increased resistance to chemical and electrochemical corrosion.
Suitable especially for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, demanding operating conditions and the outdoor environment, but also for all applications where the use of corrosion-resistant materials is required by law.
Stainless (B Series - DIN 8187)
Stainless steel chains 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B conform to DIN 8187.
Self-Lubrication (B Series - DIN 8187)
Special self-lubrication roller chains 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B conform to DIN 8187.
