EMMAR 16-B3 belongs to roller chain, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for 16-B3 and any equivalents.
The 16-B3 is a three-strand roller chain built to the European BS standard, with a 25.4 mm (1 inch) pitch, 15.88 mm rollers and a 17.02 mm inner width. It links parallel shafts on industrial equipment and is commonly chosen for drives that need more capacity than a single-strand chain can provide, while keeping the same pitch and sprocket profile.
Reading the code helps you order the right part. The number 16 sets the 25.4 mm pitch, the letter B identifies the European series, and the 3 tells you the chain has three strands. Because the roller diameter and inner width match the BS 16B profile, the chain meshes with sprockets made to that same standard. The strands sit side by side, so the drive handles higher loads without a wider pitch.
These chains are at home on low- and medium-speed drives where the shafts are some distance apart. You will see them on belt and roller conveyors, bucket elevators, and equipment in food processing, textiles, woodworking and packaging. Mining, cement and steel plants also use multi-strand chains when the load is heavy and space is tight. The construction tolerates dusty or dirty surroundings as long as lubrication is kept up.
Before you order, check the sprockets already on the machine. Pitch, roller diameter and inner width all have to line up with the sprocket you plan to use. Then look at the load, the speed and the conditions around the drive. During installation, align the shafts carefully, set the tension as the manufacturer advises, and apply the correct oil. Poor alignment or slack tension speeds up wear and leads to early failure.
If you need a replacement or an equivalent, send the full chain code or a photo of the equipment nameplate. With that information we can identify what you have and suggest compatible options in the BS standard. We can also quote sprockets and other transmission parts to complete the assembly.
To get started, message us on WhatsApp with the 16-B3 code or the marking on your chain. Our team replies promptly with technical details and a quote, and we can help you confirm the right chain for your drive.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 16-B3 designation mean?
- The 16 stands for the 25.4 mm (1 inch) pitch under the European BS standard. The B is the European series, and the 3 means the chain has three strands, so it can transmit more power than a single-strand chain of the same pitch.
- Which sprockets work with this chain?
- Use sprockets made to the BS standard for 16B pitch with a tooth width that fits three strands. Check the roller diameter (15.88 mm) and inner width (17.02 mm) so the chain seats correctly.
- How do I request a quote or a replacement?
- Send us the 16-B3 code or a photo of the chain and sprocket via WhatsApp or email. We will quote the new chain and, if needed, help you find an equivalent that fits your equipment.
