The 08-B1 chain is a power transmission component with a 12.7 mm (half-inch) pitch according to European BS standard. It is used to drive parallel shafts in machines where a constant and reliable transmission ratio is needed. Its 8.51 mm diameter rollers and 7.75 mm inner width make it compatible with sprockets of the same standard. At MR Accesorios Industriales you can request a quote via WhatsApp and we will advise you so you choose the right chain for your equipment.
This item is a single-strand roller chain of the 08-B1 series, manufactured under European BS standard. The pitch is 12.7 mm (half-inch) and its main attributes are the 8.51 mm roller diameter and the 7.75 mm inner width. The 08-B1 designation indicates that it is a single-strand chain, with rollers that turn on bushings to reduce wear. It is supplied in standard-length sections and can also be assembled to measure with connecting links and half links.
Typical applications of the 08-B1 chain include low and medium power drives in machine tools, light conveyors, packaging equipment, mixers, pumps and fans. It is also found in the food industry and in assembly lines where movements need to be synchronized. Due to its BS standard, it is common in equipment of European origin or in replacements of worn chains that already work with 12.7 mm pitch sprockets.
To install an 08-B1 chain, verify that the sprockets have the same pitch and are aligned. Correct tension is achieved with a slight sag on the slack side; if it is too tight, the bearings suffer; if it is too loose, it jumps. Lubricate with oil or grease according to speed and environment. Check wear by measuring elongation: when it exceeds 1.5%, it is advisable to replace chain and sprockets together to avoid premature wear.
If you need an equivalent chain, send us the code 08-B1 or the dimensions of your current chain: pitch, inner width and roller diameter. We can also offer you the custom version with the number of links you require. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you identify the right chain for your machine and we quote you via WhatsApp.
