O-Ring Chain (LD)/X-Ring Chain (LX)

Highest wear resistance obtainable by sealing grease among pins and bushings
The durability of chain is considerably improved considering the fact that grease is sealed amongst the pins and bushings by O-rings. The O-ring chain will be the most dependable model on the Ultimate Lifestyle Chain Series with its exceptional put on resistance even in the situations or environments wherever chain servicing is challenging.
Advisable employs.
?Situations the place frequent chain substitute is required on account of wear stretch
?Situations exactly where lubrication throughout the service is unattainable
?In an surroundings with considerably soil, sand, dust, and so forth.
?Applications that demand power higher than that of the sintered bushing roller chain
Other characteristics
?Minimizing noise. (The noise degree is 3 dB lower in contrast to typical roller chains.)
?Lowering vibration with all the friction made by O-Ring. (The power reduction because of the friction is almost negligible, since the frictional force among the pins and bushings is for typically within the applications.)
Choice of chains
The strength of an O-ring chain is nearly exactly the same as that of a common roller chain. (Since the pins are longer than these of regular roller chain, the common rupture strength is somewhat decrease.)
For picking a suitable chain, refer to “Selection of Chains” .
Once the services ambient temperature is greater than 80° C, specific heat resistant O-rings need to be employed. In this case, get in touch with us for much more facts.
Connecting back links and offset links
Two forms of connecting links can be found: clearance fit and interference fit. When large strength or durability is required, use interference-fit connecting website link. Only 2POJ is accessible as the offset website link for all sizes.
Sprockets
O-ring chain employs longer pins than a standard roller chain. When applying multiplex O-ring chain, the regular sprocket for multiplex chains can’t be utilised.
Caution
O-ring chain is not really proposed in applications where solvents or other substances may possibly attack “Nitric Rubber”. Exclusive material O-rings may also be out there for these circumstances: Please seek advice from us for particulars. Usually, “Nitric Rubber” is broken by speak to with all the following chemical elements.
