Roller chains with extended service life

Amongst the products showcased on the iwis drive systems stand at Drives & Controls will be an improved generation of low-maintenance chains of the Everlast Plus series. It is reported that, thanks to advanced sintered metals, the new black coated roller chains have a significantly extended service life.

The improved properties of the Everlast Plus chains result mainly from the improved modern sintered materials from which they are made. The goal in their development was to achieve a major reduction in their friction wear - and a corresponding extension of their wear lifespan - without the need for relubrication and without a marked increase in their production costs. In laboratory tests the chains with the new oilsoaked sintered bushes and a slightly modified bolt specification showed an improvement in wear lifespan of more than 300%. To visually distinguish the new Everlast Plus chains from their predecessors, all of their components are coated black.
