MEGAlife I and MEGAlife II - The maintenance free iwis chains

Product catalog summary
Introduction
MEGAlife I and II are maintenance-free roller and conveyor chains designed for environments where lubrication post-installation is not feasible. These chains are corrosion-resistant due to nickel-plated parts and operate effectively in temperatures from -40°C to +160°C, offering high breaking and fatigue strength for long service life without re-lubrication.
Specifications
MEGAlife chains feature a seamless sintered bush, wear-resistant pin coating, and corrosion-resistant roller coating. They are available in various configurations, including roller chains according to DIN ISO 606, with options for different attachments and side plates.
Problem/Initial Situation
MEGAlife chains address challenges in environments where lubrication is difficult or impossible, such as clean and dry surroundings, and where chain lubrication could contaminate manufacturing processes.
Highlights
  • MEGAlife II: Suitable for fast-running chain drives and high loads, with improved wear resistance and longer lifetime.
  • MEGAlife I: Ideal for normal applications without re-lubrication, compatible with iwis standard chains, and environmentally friendly.
Customer Benefits
MEGAlife chains provide excellent wear resistance, high fatigue and breaking strength, corrosion protection, and reduced maintenance costs due to their maintenance-free nature.
Areas of Application
These chains are applicable in industries such as packaging, food, printing, material handling, textiles, electronics, and more, particularly where re-lubrication is not possible.
Product Range
The product range includes roller chains, power and free conveyor chains, transfer chains, grip chains, and special conveyor chains, all designed to meet various industrial needs.
Technical Features
  • Dry chain surface and transport rollers.
  • Corrosion-resistant materials.
  • Optional transport rollers in plastic or steel (stainless or nickel-plated).
  • Operational temperature range from -40°C to +160°C for steel rollers.
  • Available in iwis or classic design with 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch pitch.
  • Sintered metal transport rollers reduce friction, lowering driving power and chain strain.
Our Solution
The MEGAlife conveyor chain features a redesigned joint and sintered metal transport rollers, offering a maintenance-free solution with light running rollers.
Comparison and Design Specifications
The document includes tables comparing lifetime operating times and friction coefficients of different chain designs. It also provides detailed specifications for various chain models, including dimensions, loading capacities, and weights.
Contact Information
The document lists contact details for iwis subsidiaries and representatives across various countries, including Germany, USA, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, China, Brazil, UK, South Africa, and Turkey.

MEGAlife I and MEGAlife II - The maintenance free iwis chains-1

MORE ADDED VALUE MEGAlife I and MEGAlife II The maintenance free iwis chains MEGAlife maintenance free roller and conveyor chains can be applied in all areas where post installation lubrication is not at all or only partly possible. This is the case in clean and dry surroundings or in applications with difficult lubrication passage. MEGAlife maintenance free chains are corrosion resistant due to nickel-plated parts and can be utilized in a temperature range from –40°C up to +160°C. All maintenance-free MEGAlife roller chains from JWIS have an extremely high breaking and fatigue strength, which means even better operational reliability for the customer. The chains offer exceptionally high wear resistance and long service life even without re-lubrication, keeping downtimes and servicing requirements to a minimum. Depending on the customer application, MEGAlife maintenance-free chains are supplied either dry or ready-treated with special-purpose lubricant. MEGAlife Highlights: 1 Seamless sintered bush made of a material specially developed for this application, hardened and treated to optimize its tribological properties 2 Pin with wear-resistant, friction-optimized coating 3 eamless roller with corrosion-resistant coating and S geometry optimized on the sinter bush
