Two-Pin Silent Chain Vs Roller Chain The benefits of Ramsey Silent Chain are apparent when compared to roller chains: Higher speed and power capacity Reduced noise and vibration Higher efficiency (as high as 99%) Less velocity variation More uniform wear characteristics Longer sprocket life Less affected by chordal action Two-pin silent chain links feature convex […]
Proper tensioning in silent chain systems is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. When new chains are installed, they should have just enough tension to ensure satisfactory operation. Running a chain too tight or too loose can significantly shorten its lifespan. A chain that is too tight will experience additional load, leading to accelerated wear […]
The importance of good alignment in your power transmission and conveying systems can’t be overstated. Misalignment, which occurs when the sprockets are not properly lined up or the bore centerlines are not parallel, increases the likelihood of excessive chain wear, increased maintenance, and shortened chain life. To align and level sprockets and idlers for minimal […]
