Chain Description
12A-1 KettenWulf HS Straight Connecting Link (Reinforced, ASA 60-1, 3/4″ × 1/2″ DIN 8188) is intended for 12A-1 / ASA 60-1 simplex reinforced drive chains, which are standardized according to ISO 606 (DIN 8188, ANSI B29.1), meaning they belong to the American A-series.
The chains consist of outer links with pins and inner links with enhanced bushes, on which freely rotating rollers are mounted. The chains are made of steel. Thanks to their design and the materials used, they offer significantly higher fatigue strength than standard roller chains. They also provide excellent wear resistance, ensuring a long service life.
KettenWulf HS
KettenWulf HS roller chains (Heavy Series) represent an intermediate performance level within the KettenWulf range of chains manufactured to American standards. They are designed for applications with high loads and frequent shock loading.
As with the standard KW series they are based on, the key advantage lies in the precision manufacturing of all chain components. However, reinforced link plates and fully hardened pins provide higher tensile strength, improved shock resistance, and greater fatigue strength.
HS chains are the ideal choice for applications where standard KW chains are no longer sufficient, but the use of the top-tier HFS series would be excessive.
Construction
- Reinforced inner link
- Reinforced outer link
- Through-hardened pin
- Seamless, case-hardened bush
- Seamless, through-hardened roller
Typical Applications
12A-1 / ASA 60-1 reinforced roller chains according to DIN 8188 are designed for applications with higher mechanical loads, where standard roller chains might not meet requirements for strength and fatigue resistance.
They are most commonly used as drive chains in demanding operating conditions but can also be fitted with attachments or other auxiliary components for material handling and lifting applications.
