High Performance Roller Chains

What are drive chains?

Drive chains are mechanical systems used in machinery and equipment to transfer energy from one drive system to another. They consist of a chain of individual links driven by sprockets or gears. The links of the drive chain are movably connected to each other to form a flexible chain. Drive chains from Movet are used in a wide range of industries, for example in the automotive industry, agriculture and materials handling. They are robust and reliable and can absorb high forces and high speeds. Depending on the area of application, different types of chains are available, such as maintenance-free chains, high-performance roller chains or corrosion-free chains.

What types of drive are there that use chains?

Chains are mainly used in machines and vehicles with mechanical drives. Examples include bicycles, motorbikes, cars and trucks with internal combustion engines, agricultural machines such as tractors and combine harvesters, and machines in factories and plants. In these cases, the motive power of the engine is transmitted to the wheels or other moving elements via the chain. The chain makes it possible to distribute the power to various gears and gearboxes and thus control the speed and direction of movement. Chains from Movet are used in conveyor technology, general mechanical and plant engineering and the food industry.

Chain drive: The advantages and disadvantages of the system explained compactly

A chain drive offers many advantages in terms of performance and efficiency. A chain drive is able to transmit high forces and torques. The drive type is very reliable and has a long service life, which makes it an optimal solution for applications in harsh environments. Another advantage of chain drives is that they require little maintenance. Unlike other transmission systems, they do not require regular oiling or maintenance - which saves time and money. They are also easy to install and can be used in many different configurations. However, there are also some disadvantages to using chain drives. First of all, they are quite noisy in use compared to other transmission systems. Chain drives are not particularly compact and therefore require more space than other systems.

Drive chains by the metre

Drive chains by the metre enable individual adaptation of the length to the respective application scenario - and thus maximum flexibility in use. Material and costs can be saved by purchasing according to requirements. The drive chains we offer can be lengthened or shortened at any time, or individual chain links can be replaced if they are worn or defective. In our shop you will find a comprehensive selection of maintenance-free or corrosion-resistant chains by the metre. Our high-performance chains, which are specially designed for high loads and narrow installation spaces, are also available from Movet in bulk.

Stainless steel drive chains

We like to recommend stainless steel drive chains when it comes to withstanding high temperatures, humidity or aggressive chemicals. Stainless steel is a very resistant metal that does not rust and has a long service life even in humid environments. In addition, stainless steel is resistant to chemicals and can be used at high temperatures without losing quality. Movet stainless steel drive chains are used for applications in the food industry, in maritime environments or in the chemical industry. In our online shop we have listed the most common stainless steel drive chains from our manufacturer Tsubaki. Should you not find a certain chain: No problem. Just contact us, we can also provide you with special solutions in a timely manner.
