Rexnord Chains

Basic information

Chain is broadly used in
power transmission applications ranging
from general industrial applications to
demanding oil field service to operation
in such specialized areas as food
processing and heavy construction
equipment.

Design attributes and advantages

Roller chain

Modifications to standard roller chain developed for special operating conditions are mentioned below

  • Corrosion resistant
  • Standard roller chain made of stainless steel provides excellent performance in applications requiring high resistance to corrosive attack.

  • Extra clearance
  • Trans-Flex® chain is
  • designed for severe duty applications, such as in transit mixers, crawler drives and others uses requiring delivery of full power despite recurrent sprocket misalignment.

  • Side bow roller chain
  • Extra clearance chain with ability to flex and twist. Ideal for use on curved conveyors or to transmit power under misaligned sprocket conditions. Available in 3/8” to 1” single pitch.

Hollow pin chain

The truly versatile
conveyor chain. Constructed with
special pin links which have hollow pins
assembled in the pin plates. This unique
design allows easy insertion of cross
rods or attachments to pre assembled
chain at desired spacings. Attachments
can be repositioned without removing
chain from conveyor. It is available in
single and double-pitch with or without
Carrier Rollers. Full line of standard
attachments available.

Conveyors

Standard and double-pitch conveyor chains are available
with a selection of attachments to accommodate slats,
angles, rollers, crossroads, and other conveying devices.

  • Shock resistance
  • Link-Belt® SU and Rexnord® Heavy “H” series roller chain provides additional capacity to withstand intermittent shock loading. Features include improved fatigue resistance, thicker sidebars, and heat-treated pins.

  • ULTR-O-LIFETM O-ring roller chain
  • Uses square cross sectional O-rings to seal in special lube while sealing out dirt, moisture and other contaminants.
  • Available in 5/8” thru 11/4” pitch single pitch series. Runs on standard ANSI sprockets.



Block chain

  • Block chain
  • Used in light load, low speed conveyors. Consisting of block links (solid or laminated) and link plates joined by pins, all block chains are 1” pitch and vary in width of block from 3/16” to 1/2”.

REDI-LUBETM chain

Self-lubricating,
heavy walled, oil-impregnated, sintered
steel bushings replace bushing and
roller of standard ANSI chain. Available
in single and double-pitch. Full range
of standard attachments also available.

Restricted lubrication


Double-pitch roller chain with large-diameter rollers combines
smooth, quiet operation and long life. This modification
proves particularly useful in applications requiring minimum
lubrication or where conditions make lubrication difficult.

ART dynamic chain

Rexnord’s ART™ Dynamic Chain is an ideal solution for package and parcel handling applications. Unlike other conveying solutions that require multiple conveyors to perform multiple behaviors, the ART Dynamic Chain offers the ability to create MULTIPLE behaviors – zero back line pressure, rotation, acceleration-deceleration, low-pressure accumulation, metering, and sequencing – in ONE single conveyor design.

  • Standardization and Manageable Level of Complexity -It can be easily activated with standard tools and devices readily available today in the marketplace. No proprietary training required
  • Enhanced line and design flexibility -ONE single conveyor design with MULTIPLE behavior capabilities, using the same actuation tools to rotate, accelerate, decelerate, meter, and sequence at will, depending on application needs.
  • Reduced system footprint– ONE single conveyor design with MULTIPLE behavior capabilities helps eliminate MULTIPLE conveyors — reducing footprint and components.
