Chain Description
16B-1 KettenWulf HFS Straight Connecting Link (Reinforced, 1” × 17.02 mm, DIN 8187) is intended for 16B-1 simplex reinforced drive chains, which are standardized according to ISO 606 (DIN 8187), meaning they belong to the European B-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 HFS
KettenWulf HFS roller chains are designed for applications with high loads and dynamic impacts. They rank among the top-performing chains on the market.
Thanks to targeted design and manufacturing enhancements, these roller chains significantly exceed the parameters of standard series. With precision punching of the link plates achieving hole straightness of up to 90%, they offer exceptionally strong press fits. The wider waist of the link plates further improves load distribution. As a result, HFS chains deliver approximately 15–20% higher fatigue strength compared to the KW series (equivalent to 70–80% above the ISO 606 standard), while maintaining excellent length accuracy.
Additional improvements in wear resistance come from using advanced materials for bushes and rollers. Solid bushes are made from alloyed case-hardening steel containing chromium, manganese, and molybdenum, ensuring high surface hardness and excellent resistance to friction and shock. Rollers made from structural C35 steel are fully hardened across all sizes.
Construction
- Inner link – high-precision, wide-waisted profile
- Outer link – high-precision, wide-waisted profile
- Special alloy steel pin (case-hardened or through-hardened according to type)
- Seamless special steel bush with optimally cylindrical shape and high wear resistance
- Through-hardened seamless roller
Typical Applications
16B-1 reinforced roller chains according to DIN 8187 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.
