DUROCHAIN Premium 10B-4 Roller Chain 10B-4 Chain

10B-4 roller chain has a 15.875mm pitch and is manufactured from high-quality carbon steel that meets ISO and British Standards. DUROCHAIN isn't just another run-of-the-mill private label chain like the other brands that flood the market. Superior wear life overall better performance allows DUROCHAIN 10B-4 to far exceed the competition. Innovative manufacturing techniques, as well as years of research, combine to equal a true Premium Quality roller chain, unlike anything previously available in the market. Our high-performance 10B-4 chain boasts a staggering 9,160 kgs (20,194 lbs) minimum breaking load along with the ability to transmit energy at peak levels of efficiency! While developing DUROCHAIN, we noticed several shortcomings of standard 10B-4 roller chain and thought "Hey, we can fix that!". We looked at the common applications that 10B-4 roller chains are typically used and noticed how they affected standard 10B-4. We gathered our findings and set out to create a 10B-4 that succeeded where other chains would simply fall short. Right about now, you're probably thinking "well that sounds good and all", but wondering what really sets DUROCHAIN 10B-4 apart from all the other chains on the market. DUROCHAIN 10B-4 is proudly manufactured with precision solid bushings, solid rollers, hardened pins, and sublime quad-staked rivets. Every component goes through innovative heat-treatment and shot peening processes that unlock their true potential, but as the late great Billy Mays once said, but wait, there's more!. After the chain is expertly assembled, it goes through a unique pre-load process where the chain is stretched to 40% of the chain's rated breaking load, which reduces initial stretching and fatigue on the chain. This improves the overall life of the chain and ensures you're up and running in no time! This Quad-Strand DUROCHAIN 10B-4 roller chain consists of four strands of 10B-1 roller chain, all connected by our unique pins and riveted together by our specialty quad-stake riveting process. Our quad-stake riveting process promises to hold on to the chain's side plates harder than a mother holds on to her precious newborn baby! This prevents premature failure that is commonly associated with chains that use the inferior process of double-stake riveting. DUROCHAIN 10B-4 roller chain is designed to handle even the most demanding industrial applications! Our innovative manufacturing processes result in a chain that will simply outlast standard 10B-4 chains, resulting in less downtime and happy customers! Discover the newest innovations in roller chains when you choose DUROCHAIN 10B-4 roller chain; there's a reason why we put the "DURO" in Chain!

Through-Hardened High-Strength Pins -

One of the most stressed components in a roller chain is the pins. The industry standard for premium chains is a case hardening process that provides a high-strength abrasion-resistant layer on the outer surface of the pin. This technique has been used for many years and does provide excellent strength and wear resistance until the hardness layer is worn. At DUROCHAIN, we use pins hardened to the core, called through hardened pins. This provides ample wear resistance throughout the life of the chain and increases strength.

• Precision Solid Round Parts -

Drastically improving chain wear life and performance of transmitting energy, solid bushings and rollers provide perfectly cylindrical bearing surfaces. Solid round parts require special manufacturing equipment that most factories will not make the initial investment in; however, the improvements in wear life and performance versus a chain with split round parts outweigh these costs in the long run. The issue with a split bushing or a split roller is when a chain experiences shock load or is used for some time, the split components will begin to deform, causing excessive internal wear and friction. All of our standard mild-steel DUROCHAINs use these solid round parts except hollow pin chains. Additionally, our bushings are made from alloy steel hardened to a specific HRC; the rollers are made from SAE steel and hardened to a specific HRC as well. We have found that these specific hardnesses provide the best wear life possible for the material itself.

• Max Countour Sideplates -

Precision made from steel alloy and hardened to an optimal HRC, our unique max contour side plates provide the highest shock load absorption and most extended wear life! The unique design adds additional material to the plate while maintaining the dimensional requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). DUROCHAIN max contour side plates add strength and wear life to their accompanied chain assembly compared to the standard side plates used by other tier-one chains.

• Quad-Staked Rivets -

DUROCHAINs are equipped with high-hold quad-staked rivets instead of the standard dual-stake rivets used by other manufacturers. This improves the chain's ability to withstand shock loads and side thrust. The superior rivet ensures that the chain is held together with the utmost capacity possible, giving it more versatile capabilities than its predecessors.

• Superior Plate Hole Preparation -

We compared processes to other premium roller chain plate holes to see the most effective and best method for achieving the maximum holding power possible. Most manufacturers use a simple piercing method when creating these plate holes; some use piercing and shaving processes. DUROCHAIN link plate holes are precision pierced, shaved, and ball drifted. Combining all three methods produces link plates capable of superior holding power and maximum pin-to-plate contact.

• Perfectly Factory Pre-Load -

DUROCHAIN is factory pre-loaded to a specific amount that ensures absolute minimal chain stretch. By today's standards, almost all roller chains are pre-loaded to some extent; however, a specific percentage achieves the best balance of reducing stretch and improving wear life. Extensive research was done to ensure DUROCHAIN was factory pre-loaded to this perfect percentage. Additionally, pre-loading ensures all components are perfectly aligned post-manufacturing for optimal performance.
