The 16-B2 chain is a double-strand roller chain according to European standard BS. It is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts in industrial equipment, with the advantage of doubling load capacity compared with a single-strand chain of the same pitch. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell it as part of our power transmission line, with advice to help you choose the right size for your application.
This item is a double-strand roller chain from the BS series. Its 16-B2 designation indicates the pitch and number of strands. The available data confirms a roller diameter of 15.88 mm and an inner width of 17.02 mm. The BS series is manufactured to European standard, which ensures dimensional compatibility with sprockets of the same standard. If you need to verify other dimensions, such as pitch or breaking load, we confirm them against the manufacturer's data sheet at the time of your inquiry.
Double-strand chains are used in drives that require greater load capacity without increasing the pitch. Typical applications include conveyors, mills, mixers, machinery for the food industry and lifting equipment. They are also used in gearboxes and transmission systems that operate at moderate speeds with significant loads. Because they have two strands, the chain runs on double-strand sprockets, which distributes stress better and extends the service life of the assembly.
To correctly select a 16-B2 chain, take into account the pitch, the number of teeth on the sprockets, the center distance and the service conditions. It is essential to check shaft alignment and proper tension: a chain that is too tight accelerates wear on rollers and bushings, while a loose chain can jump or strike. Lubrication is also key; use the lubricant recommended for roller chains and check the level periodically. If the drive is subject to shock loads, consider a higher service factor.
If you need an equivalent chain or a neighboring size, the most practical thing is to send us the full code or a photo of the equipment's nameplate. With that data we can look for the 16-B2 chain or suggest an alternative of the same standard that meets the dimensional requirements. We can also advise you on compatible sprockets and suitable lubricants for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 16-B2 mean in a roller chain?
- The 16 indicates the pitch according to European standard BS, and B2 indicates that it is double-strand. This means it has two rows of rollers, which allows it to transmit more power than a single-strand chain of the same pitch.
- How do I know if I need a double-strand chain?
- If your original drive is double-strand or if you need greater load capacity without changing the pitch, this chain is the right one. Check that the sprockets are double-strand so it engages correctly.
- Can I order a size other than 16-B2?
- Yes, we work with the entire BS series. Send us the code or the dimensions you need and we'll quote the equivalent chain or the closest size that best suits your equipment.
