Chain Types and Features: Describes different chain types such as BIATHLON KS and MARATHON maintenance-free chains, highlighting their high performance and corrosion protection coatings.
Advantages of MARATHON Chains: These chains do not require relubrication, ensuring clean applications without soiling machinery or goods. They feature high-strength sintered metal bushings and electrogalvanized surfaces for optimal protection.
Applications: Lists various industries where MARATHON chains are applicable, such as food, electrical, and automotive industries.
Testing and Performance: Long-term wear tests indicate that MARATHON chains have a minimum tensile strength of 78,000 N, with pins being the breaking point.
Additional Features: Mentions the availability of chains with attachments and straight plates, and the compatibility of standard sprockets with these chains.
Technical Specifications: Provides detailed specifications for bush chains, ATC chains, and leaf chains according to different standards such as DIN, ISO, and ANSI.
Design Advantages: Chains feature low-wear plastic inserts and axial fixtures for various dimensions, emphasizing the importance of securing tool holding attachments with locking pins.
Chain Puller and Sprockets: Details specifications for chain pullers and sprockets, including dimensions, materials, and applications.
Load Factors and Machine Types: Outlines load factors for different types of driven machines and drive machines, including electric motors and internal combustion engines.
Coupling Specifications: Provides detailed specifications for couplings, including torque, flywheel effect, required space, and weight.
ETP Bushing for Shaft-to-Hub Connections: Describes the ETP shaft bushing as a high-quality clamping element for mounting components like sprockets and toothed wheels onto shafts.
Automatic Chain Tensioners: SPANN-BOX® and SPANN-BOY® tensioners are crucial for maintaining chain drive life by compensating for elongation.
Mounting and Alignment of Chain Drives: Proper alignment of sprockets is essential for chain longevity, with guidelines provided for avoiding unnecessary load and premature wear.
Lubrication Considerations: Discusses the importance of selecting the right lubricant based on operating environment and temperature, with specific recommendations for different applications.
Types of Steel Link Chains: Describes various types of chains, including Galle Chains, Leaf Chains, Bush Chains, and High Performance Roller Chains.
Roller Chains Overview: Roller chains are versatile and widely used in various industries for power transmission and conveyance.
Advantages of Roller Chain Drives: Roller chain drives offer high efficiency, long wear life, extensive power and speed range, and no slip, making them reliable for precise applications.
Design and Maintenance Considerations: Proper selection and maintenance of roller chains are crucial for optimal performance, with regular checks for wear, elongation, and lubrication necessary.
Pre-Selection and Calculation: Factors like transmissible power, speed, transmission ratio, and operating conditions must be known for selecting chains.
Standards and Specifications: Roller chains are standardized according to DIN and ISO specifications, ensuring consistency in dimensions and performance.
Chain Drive Configurations: Discusses favorable and less favorable configurations for chain drives, with recommendations for jockey sprockets and maintenance.
Troubleshooting Guide for Chain Drives: Provides solutions for common issues such as insufficient lubrication, corrosion, chain obstruction, misalignment, and overload.

Wippermann administration building A company with tradition and vision The company Wippermann was founded in 1893 by Wilhelm Wippermann and initially produced bicycle and motorbike components. Before the First World War, the company expanded rapidly and had several production plants in Germany and abroad as well as an international distribution system. However, the company soon had to face setbacks: due to the Second World War almost all plants were destroyed and all production plants abroad were lost. As early as in 1929 Wilhelm Wippermann jr. had taken over the management of the company after...
