Polymer/steel chain withstands water
A polymer/steel chain requires no lubrication, has no metal-on-metal contact and is therefore able to operate even if submerged under water.
Renold has launched a new poly-steel chain that requires no lubrication, has no metal-on-metal contact and is therefore able to operate even if submerged under water The Syno PC Chain can be used in applications where lubrication is either difficult or undesirable

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.
* Tough polymer and SS pins - the chain is made up of a special tough polymer inner link with pins and outer plates made of high-grade stainless steel.
The polymer links make the chain lighter, easier to clean, less wearing on sprockets and quieter when machinery is running.
It will solve maintenance problems on applications where an all-metal chain is not the best option, such as in certain areas of the food and drinks industries, pharmaceuticals, electronics, printing and clean rooms.
Renold Chain's marketing communications manager, David Turner, said: "The launch of our new Syno PC Chain extends Renold's already versatile range of Syno lubrication-free chain products, which includes self lubricating chain, stainless steel chain and a unique solution for heavy-duty applications.
Our message to industry is that if you have a lubrication problem then we have a 'tailor-made' solution".
