Choosing the right chain for horizontal use

Capacity and Stability The capacity range of rigid chains includes standard types – from 5,000 N to 16,000 N maximum capacity (per single chain) and specialized versions that allow for even higher forces. The capacity that our chain types can deliver is determined by size, structure, whether they are guided, and if so, which type […]

Lubrication of Roller Chains

Roller chains are a broad classification of chains used for power transmission purposes. They all have in common a sleeve roller that rotates around the pin joints or axles of the chain; this roller reduces friction and wear between the chain and a sprocket. Of these, drive chains transmit torque between two sprockets; an example […]
