Product Overview

Lambda Chain is an innovative power transmission chain that is lube-free and has a long service life. It significantly reduces maintenance steps and costs by utilizing special oil-impregnated bushings. This makes it an eco-friendly solution that helps maintain cleanliness throughout the production process.

Key Features of Lambda Chain

• No Additional Lubrication Required: Thanks to special oil-impregnated bushing technology, the chain operates without extra oiling, reducing the frequency of chain replacements and industrial waste.
• Maintains a Clean Workspace: It prevents oil stains caused by lubricant splattering onto equipment or products, ensuring a consistently clean working environment.
• High Durability: Improvements in the materials and manufacturing process of the oil-impregnated bushings result in a longer and more stable service life.

Safety Standards for the Food Industry

This chain series was developed to meet the strict hygiene requirements of the industry:

• NSF H1 Standard: The lubricant within the special bushings complies with the NSF H1 standard, meaning it is safe for incidental food contact.
• Applications: Ideal for food production machinery that requires high cleanliness and the avoidance of contamination from standard lubricants.

Installation and Usage Precautions

To ensure the chain works perfectly with your existing system, please consider the following:

• Pin Length: Because the inner plates are thicker than the standard RS model (to maintain equivalent durability), the chain pins are longer than usual. Please check for clearance with other equipment to prevent interference.
• Rust-Preventive Oil: While the internal lubricant is NSF H1, the rust-preventive oil coated on the surface and oil used during assembly may not be NSF H1 compliant.
• Compatibility: This model is designed with tensile strength equivalent to the RS Roller Chain to ensure reliable power transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does Lambda Chain help reduce costs in the long run?
A: It reduces costs by eliminating frequent downtime for lubrication, saving on lubricant purchases, and decreasing the frequency of chain replacements due to its longer lifespan compared to standard chains.

Q: Can it be used in food production machinery immediately?
A: Yes, it can, as the internal lubricant in the bushings is NSF H1 compliant. However, be aware that the external rust-preventive coating might not meet the same standard.

Q: Why are the pins longer than the standard RS model?
A: To achieve strength and durability equal to the RS model, the thickness of the inner plates has been increased by one level, which in turn increases the total length of the pins.
