Design guides for conveyor and transmission chain
Two useful design-guides for conveyor and transmission chain, each containing over 40 pages of useful information, have been produced by Renold Chain and are now available to engineers.
This combination of solid bushes and rollers ensures that there are no concentrated areas of stress within the bearing areas, which dramatically improves the working life of the chain by reducing wear.
The chain now has high waisted side plates to improve stress distribution for improved fatigue resistance.
The plates also have beneficial compressive stresses built in during manufacture to improve their durability.
A and S Chain is available in European (BS) and ANSI standard with a full range of M, K and extended bearing pin attachments.
It can even be supplied with a specific lubricant to suit a customer's particular requirements.
