Chain Description
16B-3 KettenWulf KW Straight Connecting Link (1” × 17.02 mm, DIN 8187) is intended for 16B-3 triplex drive chains, which are standardized according to ISO 606 (DIN 8187), meaning they belong to the European B-series.
The chain consists of outer links with pins and inner links with bushes, on which freely rotating rollers are mounted. The chain is made of steel.
KettenWulf KW
KettenWulf KW chains represent an enhanced basic series of roller chains.
Thanks to carefully selected manufacturing methods and high-quality materials used for each component, these chains offer approximately 40–60% higher fatigue strength compared to the ISO 606 standard. Length tolerances during production range from 0 to 0.05%, whereas the standard allows up to 0.15%. They also demonstrate increased wear resistance, for example compared to the economy-grade ISON brand (also from KettenWulf).
The wax-like initial lubricant, applied in a hot bath, and the default preloading exceeding 40% of the chain's tensile strength, effectively reduce initial wear. KettenWulf roller chains' initial lubrication is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from −30 °C to +130 °C.
A key factor is the precise manufacturing of the individual chain components.
