For drives that need more capacity without changing the pitch, the 16-B2 chain is a double-strand roller chain built to the European BS standard. It transmits motion between parallel shafts and runs on double-strand sprockets. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this chain as part of its power transmission range and can help you confirm the right size for your equipment.

The 16-B2 code tells you two things: 16 is the pitch size in the BS series, and B2 means two strands. In practical terms, that gives you two rows of rollers on the same pitch as a single-strand chain. The data available for this item lists a roller diameter of 15.88 mm and an inner width of 17.02 mm. Because it follows the BS standard, it is dimensionally compatible with sprockets made to that same standard. If you need to check pitch, breaking load or any other figure, we verify it against the manufacturer's data sheet when you ask.

You will find double-strand chains in conveyors, mills, mixers, food-industry machinery and lifting equipment. They also show up in gearboxes and transmission systems that run at moderate speeds under significant loads. The two strands share the work, so stress is distributed across a wider area than a single-strand setup. Just make sure your sprockets are double-strand, or the chain will not engage correctly.

When selecting a 16-B2 chain, look at the pitch, the number of teeth on both sprockets, the center distance and the actual service conditions. Alignment and tension matter just as much as the chain itself. Too tight, and the rollers and bushings wear faster; too loose, and the chain can jump or hit the guards. Lubrication should follow the recommendation for roller chains, with periodic level checks. If your drive sees shock loads, factor in a higher service factor.

If you are replacing a chain or looking for an equivalent, send us the full code or a photo of the equipment nameplate. With that information we can locate the 16-B2 or suggest an alternative in the same standard that meets the dimensional requirements. We can also point you to compatible sprockets and suitable lubricants for the application.
