Manufactured in either polyethylene or aluminium, the guards can be easily trimmed to size following pre-formed cutting guides in the body and projecting shaft sleeves.
Rexnord 5000 Athletic chain employs a chain link with the link pin having a coating that imparts sliding characteristics plus high wear resistance, even where the correct lubrication routines are not followed.
Maintenance is reduced as a result of treating the bushes to improve smooth running and articulation.
Also contributing to the chains continuous, smooth performance is the factory application of a high-performance, long-lasting lubricant.
The structure of the lubricant ensures that it is not thrown off at normal operating speeds, is water resistant and has an operating temperature range between -10 and +150C.
This combination means the chain provides longevity even with its significantly reduced maintenance demands.
The fatigue strength compares with that of the firm's high performance roller chains and dimensions correspond to Din and ISO stipulations.
