Wippermann Duplex Roller chains have a wide application range and are therefore frequently used in engine, machine and plant construction, not merely as drive and gear chains, but also as lantern gears, hoisting and conveyor chains as well as in special applications with different attachments for transport and conveyance purposes. With suitable attachment parts, roller chains offer special functionalities and thus a large application variety.

The advantages of roller chains:

• Wide application range as drive, conveyor and hoisting chains
• A variety of different functions by using attachments on special chains
• Robustness to temperature influences and soiling
• Positive locking transmission without slip
• Cost effectiveness
• Excellent application range through different chain sizes and use as simplex and multiplex roller chains
• Multiple transmission ratios
• Long shaft distances possible, e.g. for conveying systems
• Life cycle limits indicated by chain elongation
• Problem-free shortening and lengthening of chains
• Drive on either side possible
• No pre-tensioning required, therefore no static bearing loads
• Resistance to fire
