iglidur® plain bearings in roller chains

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. While the saying may be old, it is true nonetheless. But in fact, the strength of the chain link is not the biggest question mark for many machinery builders.
 
The need to lubricate may possibly be a much larger impediment in applications with food contact. Or the noise from a rattling and clanking drive chain: while this may be a good fit on a roller coaster, this effect is undesired in other user proximate or industrial applications.
You will reduce the noise emitted by your roller chain with igus® tribologically optimised iglidur® polymer plain bearings… free of lubricants.
