roll carriage system between upper and lower chain runs

System advantages

  • low noise solution because of the chain having no hinge points and chain links (no polygone effect)
  • chain sidebands consisting of a continuous extruded profil including two steel ropes per sideband for maximum tensile strength
  • reduction of driving forces by more than 95 % in comparison to a classic chain that runs under friction in a guiding channel
  • reduction of driving forces by more than 50 % in comparison to a chain having rollers in its sidebands
  • no guiding channel required; only a support tray is necessary to keep the chain in its position
  • minimized friction and wear as the chain does not glide and press against a guiding channel
  • best possible cable guidance inside the chain crosssection because of little to no relative movements inside the chain; no vibrations due to polygone effects affecting the cable lifetime
