Chain length
2 x 32 meters

Cable package
40 cables, 20 kg/m

Special features
roll carriage system between upper and lower chain runs

System advantages

low noise solution because of the chain having no hinge points and chain links (no polygone effect)
chain sidebands consisting of a continuous extruded profil including two steel ropes per sideband for maximum tensile strength
reduction of driving forces by more than 95 % in comparison to a classic chain that runs under friction in a guiding channel
reduction of driving forces by more than 50 % in comparison to a chain having rollers in its sidebands
no guiding channel required; only a support tray is necessary to keep the chain in its position
minimized friction and wear as the chain does not glide and press against a guiding channel
best possible cable guidance inside the chain crosssection because of little to no relative movements inside the chain; no vibrations due to polygone effects affecting the cable lifetime
