Roller Chain Undergoes a Darwinian Evolution

Roller Chain Undergoes a Darwinian Evolution

TSU150 07 December 2011

Robert Young of Tsubaki UK describes how adaptation over time has resulted in increasing specialisation for roller chain, and how the resultant increase in product variation has evolved the genus from a simple power transmission device that wore out and required regular maintenance to diverse species of chain that will perform difficult power transmission and conveying tasks in differing conditions, with little or no maintenance and greatly increased efficiency.

THE REAL COST OF CHEAP WAREHOUSING CHAIN…….

The Real Cost Of Cheap Warehousing Chain…….

TSU102 07 August 2009

The fact that initial lowest cost for a component or system often proves to be the most expensive in the longer term has resulted in a concentration across all sectors of industry on the issue of whole life costs. The issue is essentially a dichotomy, with the OEM on the one side, and the user, the other. The OEM’s objective, to achieve the lowest installed cost for equipment, whilst the user requires improved reliability and longer operating life.

Toughest Roller Chain Reduces Costs By £40,000+

TSU90 07 August 2009

One of the largest producers of MDF and particleboard in Europe has compared the cost of ownership for several popular brands of roller chain over a three year period at one the company’s main production plants. The samples varied from the cheapest available through to the highest quality lube-free roller chains; each was compared in a simple wear test. The aim of the practical test was to establish figures for outright longevity in an arduous application on the ‘forming line’, an area of the board production process that had the highest turnover of chain.

Lube-free chains keep it clean

Lube-Free Chains Keep It Clean

TSU133 07 August 2009

Lube-free oil impregnated sintered roller chains and engineered plastic / stainless steel combination chains dispense with the need to use external lubricant and can extend the wear-life of conveyor equipment dramatically. Lube-free conveyor chains also protect food products and packaging from marking and contamination, and since food grade lubricant is expensive they can also reduce day-to-day operating costs.
