B Series Automation-Grade Simplex Roller Chains, High Precision

Short Pitch Precision Roller Chain  (B  Series)  Simplex  Roller Chains

Type B roller chain is a type of roller chain with relatively small dimensions, conforming to specific standards (such as ISO, GB, etc.), commonly used in medium and small power transmission scenarios, and its parameters such as the fit between chain plate holes and pins are different from those of Type A roller chains.

Overview

The High-Precision B Series Simplex Roller Chains are designed for precision-critical automation and high-speed applications where minimal backlash and smooth motion are essential. Engineered with a compact short pitch and tight manufacturing tolerances, these chains deliver superior positional accuracy and reduced vibration, making them ideal for robotics, CNC machines, and conveyor systems requiring micro-precision.

Features

Precision-Ground Components: Laser-calibrated pitch (±0.03mm) and honed bushings ensure zero-backlash engagement with sprockets, critical for servo motor drives.

High-Speed Capability: Balanced roller dynamics allow operation up to 20m/s, with dynamic load ratings 20% higher than standard chains.

Wear-Resistant Surface: DLC (diamond-like carbon) coated pins reduce friction by 30% and extend service life in high-cycle applications (500,000+ cycles).

Lightweight Design: Hollow pins and optimized plate geometry reduce chain weight by 10%, minimizing inertia in high-acceleration systems.

ISO 606 (B Series) Compliance: Matches European metric standards for easy integration with international automation equipment.

Application

Robotic Arms: Enables precise motion control in pick-and-place robots and surgical robotics, ensuring repeatable positioning within ±0.1mm.

Printing Machinery: Powers press rollers and paper feed systems in offset printers, maintaining registration accuracy at high speeds (1,500+ fpm).

Semiconductor Manufacturing: Used in wafer handling conveyors and lithography equipment, meeting cleanroom standards (ISO Class 5).

Packaging Lines: Drives labelers, cartoners, and palletizers with consistent timing for high-speed packaging operations.
