Chain Drive Applications
Drive solutions with inverted tooth chains – as diverse as their applications!
Inverted tooth chains are used in a wide variety of applications and industries for classic circuit operation. Their technical features also make them ideal for reverse-operation drives.
The spectrum of possible applications for Renold inverted tooth chain ranges from drives with high speeds or exact positioning to drives with tangential meshing and heavy load applications, to special versions, for example corrosion-resistant variants for the food industry.
Inverted tooth chains for high speeds
