MEGA CHAIN CONSTRUCTION Take a new look at an old product… We've totally re-engineered the traditional stainless steel roller chain ALL PARTS ARE MADE FROM AISI 304 AUSTENETIC STAINLESS STEEL FOR EXCELLENT HEAT AND CORROSION RESISTANCE. DUAL FUNCTION LINK PLATE CONSTRUCTION product in order to achieve unparalleled strength and wear performance. Now, incredibly, these chains possess ultimate strength ratings which challenge even the best carbon steel products. Wear performance has been increased by 35%-50% due to larger bearing areas and a unique labyrinth seal design. Inside and outside link plates work together to improve strength and wear life in two important ways. 1. The "cap" portion of the outer plate engages the flanged portion of the inside plates under load to significantly improve both ultimate and fatigue strength. The improvement is so dramatic that these chains possess ultimate strength ratings which challenge even the best of the premium carbon steel brands. 2. The unique construction provides a labyrinth seal which helps to protect the pin/bushing wear area from abrasive particles and debris while allowing the penetration of lubricant. This feature, in combination with a larger pin/bushing bearing area, improves wear performance by 35%-50%. Outside plate "cap" engages the flanged inside plates increasing strength. Labyrinth seal protects pin / bushing bearing area from contamination while allowing for lubrication.
