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.
