Roller chain provides longer wear life

Morgan Smith, New Products Editor
Nov 1st, 2019


Designed for applications where regular lubrication is not possible or practical, the Timken Drives Element sintered bushing roller chain utilizes a premium H1 food-grade lubricant with a bushing that maximizes the lubricant available to the pin. A special coating on exposed surfaces protects the nickel-plated chain and makes it suitable for high-humidity applications, while chrome-hardened pins have a hard surface that works in concert with the lubricant and bushing to reduce chain elongation. The chain operates at a maximum speed of 160 ft per min and at temperatures from 14°F to 302°F.
