Here are a few of our latest product innovations and improvements giving you a distinct advantage:

Increased wear resistance

  • Various pin coating further increase the wear resistance of chains
  • The updated profile of the bush chain increases wear resistance

Friction optimized components

The curved back inner & middle plates of the IT Chain are friction optimized

NVH optimized contour

  • Enhanced contour of chain elements to further reduce NVH for all chain types
  • Industrialization of rubberized sprockets and non-circular sprocket design

Inhouse laser etching

  • Laser etching of Sprockets is conducted in-house and enables higher transfer of torque

Reduced weight

  • Not only the weight of chains has been reduced but the costs as well

A legacy of superior standards

R&D stands at the centre of our success. Aside from the over 150 patents weare constantly improving our systems, for example:

IT chain developments

  • Increased fatigue strength
  • Higher wear resistance
  • Friction optimized
  • Weight optimized
  • NVH optimized contour

Bush chain developments

  • Friction optimized
  • Weight optimized
  • Higher wear resistance by optimized bush profile and coatings
