Highest wear resistance readily available by sealing grease involving pins and bushings
The durability of chain is significantly improved due to the fact grease is sealed amongst the pins and bushings by O-rings. The O-ring chain would be the most reliable model with the Ultimate Lifestyle Chain Series with its outstanding wear resistance even while in the circumstances or environments in which chain upkeep is tricky.
Advisable uses.
?Situations where regular chain substitute is needed as a consequence of dress in stretch
?Situations wherever lubrication during the support is unattainable
?In an surroundings with a lot soil, sand, dust, and so forth.
?Applications that require strength larger than that of a sintered bushing roller chain
Other characteristics
?Decreasing noise. (The noise level is three dB reduced in contrast to common roller chains.)
?Cutting down vibration together with the friction produced by O-Ring. (The electrical power loss due to the friction is almost negligible, since the frictional force amongst the pins and bushings is for commonly within the applications.)
Selection of chains
The strength of an O-ring chain is nearly the identical as that of a normal roller chain. (Because the pins are longer than those of normal roller chain, the typical rupture strength is somewhat decrease.)
For picking out an appropriate chain, refer to “Selection of Chains” .
When the support ambient temperature is larger than 80° C, exclusive heat resistant O-rings has to be utilised. In this instance, get hold of us for extra information.
Connecting back links and offset hyperlinks
Two forms of connecting hyperlinks are available: clearance match and interference match. When higher power or sturdiness is required, use interference-fit connecting hyperlink. Only 2POJ is obtainable as the offset website link for all sizes.
Sprockets
O-ring chain makes use of longer pins than a standard roller chain. When making use of multiplex O-ring chain, the normal sprocket for multiplex chains can’t be utilised.
Caution
O-ring chain is not really encouraged in applications the place solvents or other substances might assault “Nitric Rubber”. Distinctive materials O-rings are also accessible for these problems: Please consult us for specifics. Generally, “Nitric Rubber” is damaged by make contact with together with the following chemical materials.
