Chain design Chain drives provide a reliable way to transmit power, move materials or operate equipment. Typically, a chain drive is made up of a chain and a sprocket. The sprocket may have a single row or multiple rows of teeth. The chain itself is made of individual links with rollers (spindles), bushings and interconnecting links. Like all industrial equipment, chain drives must be matched to their job, properly installed and regularly maintained and lubricated. An oil film on the outside surface of a chain offers rust protection and minimises wear at the sprocket. However, the critical...

Chain lubricant applications Typically, chain components include roller, bushing, pins and links. Straight link chains are defined according to their type and design. There are also a number of chains that are not standardised, such as inverted tooth chains and detachable chains. These play an important part in various applications. Chains are normally used as: • Transport chains in the automotive and food industry and in the production of engineered wood, fibreglass board, etc. • Hoisting chains in forging, rolling mills and fork lift trucks • Timing chains in car engines and machine tools...

High-performance chain lubricants to suit different environmental conditions High temperatures During applications in the high temperature range - at operating temperatures exceeding 150°C (300°F) - no residues (coking) should form on the chain that would impair its trouble-free operation. As lubricants evaporate at high temperatures, they should retain a fluid phase for as long as possible. The level of remaining residues should be as Castrol chain lubricants are designed to perform and keep performing at high temperatures such as Castrol Viscogen Kl, Castrol Viscogen KLK and Castrol...
