Working Mechanism
The tooth-shaped link plates are precision-formed to engage smoothly and transfer power without slipping. They mesh precisely with specially shaped sprockets, much like how gear teeth engage. Without relying on rollers, this design ensures slip-free power transmission with less chordal action, quieter operation, and the ability to run at higher speeds with better efficiency.
Key Advantages
- Smooth, Silent Operation – Reduced chain link impact delivers quieter running than roller chains and lower noise levels than toothed belts.
- High-Speed Capability – Operates reliably at high speeds, up to 50 m/s.
- Low Maintenance – Requires little lubrication and minimal upkeep for long-term performance.
- Compact & Versatile – Space-saving design with flexible widths and configurations for various applications.
- Robust in Harsh Conditions – Resistant to high temperatures, heavy loads, and demanding environments.
Common Applications
Rexton tooth chains can be found in power transmission applications where smooth, quiet operation and high efficiency are important.
- Automotive Assembly Lines – For body transport systems, powertrains, and automated handling.
- Glassware Manufacturing – Smoothly transferring fragile bottles and containers through hot and cold processes.
- Package Handling Systems – Reliable transport in high-speed sorting and packaging lines.
Why Choose Rexton® Tooth Chains?
- Operates quietly, even at high speeds.
- No pre-tensioning required. this means reduced bearing loads compared to belts that require constant tension.
- Longer service intervals reduce downtime and operating costs.
- Suitable for a wide range of industries, from automotive manufacturing to material handling and high-precision machinery.
- High-performance alternative to conventional roller chains and toothed belts.
