Maintenance free

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for maintenance-free roller chains, specifically the LF-Series and DCM-Series. These chains are engineered for extended service life without re-lubrication, highlighting their features, applications, and performance characteristics.

Chain Specifications

LF-Series: Lube-free roller chains with a temperature range of -30°C to +150°C, extendable to 180°C for special applications. Compatible with standard sprockets, they offer a service life 10 to 30 times longer than standard chains.
DCM-Series: Equipped with O(X)-Ring seals for enhanced durability, suitable for extreme conditions like professional motorcycle racing. Operates within a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C.

Performance and Applications
The document includes a wear performance chart, indicating that medium speed, medium duty, and dry conditions are optimal for these chains. It advises consulting the manufacturer for corrosive or extreme environments.

Technical Data
Tables provide detailed dimensions, tensile strength, and weight for various chain models in ANSI and DIN standards. Key parameters include pitch, roller diameter, pin diameter, plate thickness, and bearing surface.

Maintenance Recommendations
Although maintenance-free, periodic cleaning and lubrication are recommended to prevent rust and extend chain life. Cleaning should be done with kerosene to avoid damaging rubber seals.

Conclusion
The document emphasizes the advanced engineering and extensive experience behind these chains, ensuring reliability and longevity in demanding conditions, particularly in high-performance applications like motorcycle racing.

Specifications:
The DCM-Series O(X)-Ring chain is designed for industrial power transmission, effective in normal and dusty environments, accommodating various speeds and loads. It lasts 10 to 20 times longer than standard chains, with operating temperatures from -10°C to +60°C.

Maintenance Recommendations:
The chain is maintenance-free but should be cleaned with kerosene only to avoid damaging rubber sealings. Solvents are not recommended.

Performance and Usage:
This chain outperforms others without O-Ring or X-Ring in high power and speed applications. For optimal performance, use sprockets with hardened teeth.

Key Advantages:
The chain's maintenance-free nature and extended lifespan make it ideal for industrial applications, providing reliable performance under heavy loads and high speeds.
