Machinery guard allows customisation on-site
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.
Chain project boosts bridge reliability
Four geomet-coated Rexnord Laschenkette 64-1 SHBK chains need to support a load of up to 13 tonnes.
This will be the firm's principal exhibit, and is claimed to provide financial savings compared with similar duty stainless-steel or coated chains.
It has up to 12% improved wear resistance and 150% higher protection against cold welding (DIN 51834) compared with its predecessor.
It performs eight to 10 time better in the Din salt spray test (DIN 50021 SS/ISO 9227 SS), providing up 100% better link articulation even with long term exposure to aggressive and corrosive environments during use or equipment storage.
It is fabricated from selected steels with all components heat treated in-house.
Manufacturing processes include shot peening for enhanced material strength, high-preloading to reduce elongation and ball drifting with seamless rollers to ensure smooth articulation.
A lubricant-coating is applied after assembly.
Environmentally, the chain uses no heavy metals, no PTFE and no silicon, thereby exceeding current environmental standards (NSF-H2 certification for food industry and RoHS/2005 for electric and electronic equipment).
Other chain on display will include the company's stainless-steel and lubrication-free ranges.
Couplings on display will be in the company's Omega and Viva ranges.
Omega couplings are non-lubricated and torsionally flexible with no wearing parts.
Their angular, axial and radial flexibility come from their polyurethane membrane.
They comprise four components; two axial-split half flexible elements with cap screws and two hubs.
Viva is a general purpose coupling for industrial applications such as pumps, compressors, blowers and mixers.
Its polyurethane split-in-half flex element and radial bolting reduces maintenance costs by simplifying assembly and eliminating lubrication.
Compatible with most alternatives, it is a suitable retro fit replacement.
