This attachment chain consists of a special
UHMW roller installed between two identical
strands of # 60 riveted chain. Our customer
used to manufacture this chain which consumed
a tremendous amount of labor time. They
were also unhappy with the performance of
their chain because they had to use segmented
UHMW rollers due to the limited capabilities
of their manufacturing process.
Power
Torque was invited to analyze the situation.
We were able to design a chain using solid
UHMW rollers which has increased the life
and decreased the noise of the chain. We
were also able to quote this special chain
within 2 days of our initial visit which
met our customer's deadline. Our customer
was able to save a substantial amount of
money, obtain a longer product life, and
free the time of two of their personnel
that was previously required to assemble
the chain.
From
start to finish, the new solid roller chain
was delivered to our customer in less than
4 weeks.
