We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Roller Chain",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Roller chain promises long-life performance from
Wyko, an Eriks Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "Chain and sprockets promise the ultimate combination of rugged construction, reliable and efficient performance and value for money".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Potato plant standardises roller chain from
Tsubakimoto UK: "There are 25 potato processing and packing lines, all of which will be fitted with Tsubaki replacement roller chain in a variety of sizes".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Tsubakimoto UK
concerning its Tsubaki NEP chain
- take a look at Metal chain resists corrosion
which says: "Tsubaki NEP chain uses a combination of three layers of surface coating, with a highly resistant base layer that bonds a harder wear-resistant coating onto the chain bushes".
Take a look also at the news release from Iwis-Flexon, Roller chain offers low friction,
as well as Show sees new cable releases from Igus (UK),
and Chain companies come under one roof from Iwis-Flexon.
