Chain Description
32B-2 KettenWulf HFS Straight Connecting Link (Reinforced, 2” × 1 1/4”, DIN 8187) is intended for 64B-2 heavy-duty duplex 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 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.
