Wide Waist The wide waist design of 60H and larger chains reduces the bending stress in the link plate which increases the fatigue strength of the chain.

Solid Rollers Drives, Incorporated utilizes solid rollers on all precision roller chains. The solid roller allows for smooth rotation on the bushing, minimizing the impact load as the chain engages the sprocket tooth.

Factory Preloading Drives, Incorporated precision roller chains are preloaded during assembly. Preloading the chain seats the chain components, which minimizes the initial elongation of the chain.

Heat Treatment Rigorous process controls and state of the art heat treating furnaces assure consistent quality in all chain components. This results in optimum toughness and resistance to wear.

Prelubrication After final assembly the roller chains are hot dipped in a special lubricant. This process assures that all the load bearing surfaces are protected from metal to metal contact, improving the wear life of the chain.

Automated Assembly Roller chain assembly methods assure consistent processes and proper assembly of chain components.

Shot Peened Parts All precision chain rollers and link plates are shot peened for greater fatigue strength.

Connecting Links Standard connecting links are used when roller chains are operated under normal conditions. For severe applications, semi-press fit connecting links are suggested. Spring clip style connecting links are used for sizes 80 and smaller. Sizes 100 and above use a cotter style connecting clip.
