MARATHON Maintenance-Free Roller Chain
- High load-bearing joints
- High breaking loads to Wippermann standards*
- Electro-plated components for optimum corrosion protection
- Sealed bearing surfaces
- Also in Stainless Steel
*Higher than DIN
The long-distance chain that never needs to be lubricated.
Advantages of Marathon chain
- Up to 35 x greater service life, compared with unlubricated standard roller chains
- Up to 5 x greater service life, compared with other maintenance-free chains
- No post installation lubrication required
- Temperatures ranging from –20°C to +100°C
- Clean applications, no soiling of machinery and transported goods
- Bushes consist of a new type of sintered metal of high compression strength treated with special lubricant
- Bushes are longer than the chain link width and have sliding contact with the outer plate. Foreign bodies are unable to penetrate the chain joint
- Pins made of a specially coated, hardened Steel alloy giving a low-wear and pore-free surface, guaranteeing excellent bearing performance
- The same breaking load as Wippermann standard chains
- All Marathon chains fit standard sprockets
Application areas of Marathon chains
- Temperature range from – 0°C to +100°C. Up to 250°C with special lubricants (after consultation)
- Speeds up to 150 m per min.
- Electrical industry
- Food industry
- Electronics and printed circuit board production (PCBs)
- Television manufacturing
- Packaging industry
- Paper processing and bookbinding
- Printing industry
- Textile industry
- Automobile industry
- All systems where relubrication is either not wanted, problematic or not possible at all
