Description
Where one row of rollers is not enough, a multi-strand roller chain shares the load across two or three rows of rollers running side by side on the same pins. The result is much higher load capacity in almost the same installation width, which makes duplex and triplex chains the standard choice for heavy drives. We build multi-strand chain in A series and B series and cut it to the length of your drive.
Available Models
This multi-strand roller chain is available in the following model:
| Model | 06B-1 |
| Pitch | 9.525 mm (3/8 in) |
| Chain size code | 3 fen (3/8 in) |
| Load class | Light duty |
Typical Applications
Model 06B-1 is used for light drives and small conveying duties. Typical applications include:
- Packaging machinery
- Small conveyors
- Textile equipment
- Small production lines
- Printer drives
Product Features
- Duplex (two strand) and triplex (three strand) constructions, with other strand counts on request
- Two or three rows of rollers share the load, so more power is transmitted at the same chain pitch
- Made in A series and B series to match standard multi-strand sprockets
- Common pitch across all strands, so the chain tracks correctly on the sprocket
- Precision-machined plates with hardened pins and bushes
- Available in carbon steel and stainless steel
- Non-standard strand counts and special link plates made to drawing
Product Advantages
- Higher load capacity in the same installation width, so an existing drive can be uprated without redesigning the machine
- One multi-strand chain can replace several single strand chains running in parallel
- Longer service life under continuous high-load duty
- Custom length, matching multi-strand sprockets and joint links supplied together
- Fewer suppliers to manage: chain, sprockets and custom parts in one order
- More than ten years of export experience, with technical support from our engineers

Application Scenarios
Multi-strand roller chains are chosen for heavy, continuous drives where a single strand chain would be at its limit. Typical applications include:
- Heavy-duty drives on construction and mining equipment
- Rolling mills, steel processing and metalworking lines
- Cement, chemical and bulk material handling equipment
- Escalators and heavy conveying drives
- Uprating an existing drive that is already at the limit of a single strand chain
- Replacement of worn duplex or triplex chains, matched to your original pitch and strand count
