Renold to display Smartlink at Hannover Messe

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Mar 4, 2009

Power transmission company Renold will unveil its Smartlink chain-load monitor for half-inch pitch chains at the Hannover Messe exhibition.

Smartlink is a wireless, electronic device fitted to a chain on applications to monitor dynamic data such as peak and shock loads, which can then help engineers to identify problems within a system or recommend changes to the size of chain being used.

Until Renold's miniaturisation of the unit's internal components, Smartlink was not available for chain sizes below 1in pitch.

Renold will be exhibiting its range of chains, gearboxes and couplings at the show, which takes place in Hannover, Germany, on 20-24 April in hall 27 (stand C24).

Representatives from all of the group's divisions will be on hand to provide advice on industrial chains, couplings, clutches, gears and gearboxes.
