Description
B-Series Roller Chains (ISO 606-B / BS 228 / DIN 8187) – Straight Side Plates
B-series roller chains follow ISO 606-B, BS 228 and DIN 8187 – the standard most widely specified in Europe, the UK and Commonwealth markets. They are not interchangeable with ANSI A-series chains of the same pitch: a B-series chain uses a larger roller diameter and a wider inner link. UIB manufactures the full B-series range with straight side plates, from 04B to 32B, in simplex, duplex and triplex construction.
