• Wide Waist: The wide waist design of 60H and larger chains reduces the bending stress in the link plate which increases the fatigue strength of the chain.



• Solid Rollers: They use solid rollers on all precision roller chains. The solid roller allows for smooth rotation on the bushing, minimizing the impact load as the chain engages the sprocket tooth.



• Factory Preloading: Their precision roller chains are preloaded during assembly. This seats the chain components, which minimizes the initial elongation of the chain.



• Heat Treatment: Rigorous process controls and state of the art heat treating furnaces assure consistent quality in all chain components, resulting in optimum toughness and resistance to wear.



• Prelubrication: After final assembly the roller chains are hot dipped in a special lubricant, assuring that all the load bearing surfaces are protected from metal to metal contact and improving the wear life of the chain.



• Shot Peened Parts: All precision chain rollers and link plates are shot peened for greater fatigue strength.
