Description
Product Overview
Le 10B-G1 rubber top chain is a British Standard (BS) precision roller chain with a vulcanized rubber pad bonded to every outer link plate. 10B identifies the pitch series (15.875 mm, per ISO 606 / BS 228); G1 denotes a single rubber pad per link. A G1N variant carries double-width pads for higher lateral grip on inclined or high-speed conveyors.
The rubber pad sits proud of the outer link plates, contacting the product or surface being conveyed. Standard compound is oil-resistant NBR; food-grade polyurethane is available for beverage, dairy, and bakery lines. The steel chain body is precision-heat-treated — induction-hardened pins and bushings — meeting the same tensile and fatigue standards as a plain 10B-1 roller chain.
Manufactured by roller-chain-manufacturers.com to ISO 9001:2015. Dimensionally identical to ISO 606 10B-1: fits any standard 10B sprocket, no re-engineering required when upgrading from a plain roller chain.

Key Technical Features
🔒
Slip-Free Grip
Vulcanized rubber pad delivers high friction against cartons, bottles, and components — eliminates product drift on inclines and high-speed lines.
🔇
Noise & Vibration Damping
Rubber absorbs sprocket engagement impact. Measurably lower dB output — critical in food production environments with operator noise limits.
⚙️
Extended Service Life
Rubber cushions shock loads, reducing fatigue on pins and bushings. Induction-hardened steel body resists roller–sprocket wear at the contact interface.
🔄
Compatible avec les systèmes à insertion directe
Identical bore and pitch to ISO 606 10B-1. Upgrade from plain chaîne à rouleaux to rubber-top with zero sprocket or frame modification.
🥛
Food-Grade Option
FDA / EU-compliant polyurethane pads for beverage, dairy, and bakery lines. Stainless steel chain body available for full wash-down duty.
📐
Custom Configurations
Every-link or every-other-link pad placement. Supplied in 5 m / 10 m rolls or cut-to-length. G1 style also available in 06B, 08B, 12B, 16B, 20B series.
Applications typiques
🍺 Food & Beverage
Bottle and can conveyors, pasteurizer lines, case packagers. Rubber protects labels and glass while maintaining positive drive.
📦 Packaging Machinery
Carton erectors, wrapping machines, palletizers — precise product pitch and slip-free indexing throughout the cycle.
🌾 Agriculture
Seed-treatment and grain-handling equipment. Cushioned contact surface prevents kernel damage during high-throughput conveying.
🖨️ Printing & Paper
Sheet-feeding systems. Rubber’s controlled friction coefficient handles paper stock reliably without marking or tearing.
📐 Inclined Conveyors
Belt-replacement or slat-conveyor applications on any angle where product back-slide is unacceptable under load.
🏭 General Industrial
Assembly lines, part washing, transfer conveyors. Quieter than steel-on-steel, reducing operator fatigue on long-run production.

Installation & Maintenance
Initial Tension
Set sag to 2 % of the span. Rubber-top chains run on the tight strand — over-tensioning accelerates pad fatigue at the sprocket wrap point.
Lubrication Interval
Apply ISO VG 100 chain oil every 500 operating hours or monthly, whichever is sooner. Apply only to the roller/pin area — keep oil off the rubber pad surface, as petroleum compounds degrade NBR over time.
Rubber Pad Inspection
Replace the chain when pad height H has worn beyond 20 % of the original 17.0 mm (i.e., below 13.6 mm), or when cracking and delamination are visible on any pad.
Elongation Limit
Standard wear limit is 2 % elongation. At 15.875 mm pitch, a 10-link span measures 158.75 mm new; replace at 162.4 mm. Beyond this, sprocket tooth wear accelerates rapidly.
Liens de connexion
Use the correct 10B spring-clip or cotter-pin connecting link. Do not substitute a push-fit link on drives where the chain reverses direction — link failure risk increases significantly.
