DONGHUA ’ S NEW ROLLER CHAIN RANGE
Donghua Limited , the UK arm of one of the world ’ s biggest chain manufacturers , has introduced three Drive Chain ranges : Standard , Solution and Premium . Our extensive Roller Chain products have been categorised into these new ranges to help customers identify the right chain solution quickly and easily .
The Standard Range features a variety of standard chain manufactured with precision to suit simple drives with large diameter sprockets or complex drives with multiple sprockets and high load bearings .
The Solution Range offers customers a genuine solution to problems with chain wear , chain fatigue , high speed , lubrication , chain length accuracy and chain strength offering optimum performance in extreme conditions . Our new EXL Chain sits within the Premium range together with our Chromized Pin ( CP ) Chain , Heavy Duty Chain and Self-Lubricated Chain .
The EXL Chain offers significant benefits over standard Roller Chain . It utilises different materials , material treatments and layer technologies , to offer the best possible quality / price ratio for all applications .
Aimed specifically for the after-market , EXL Chain is designed , manufactured and tested for unbeatable accuracy and performance in arduous conditions , offering enhanced wear and fatigue resistance and greater precision .
The chain is designed with a new hardened , shot-peened wide-waist plate for increased fatigue strength and a seamless cold forged solid bush and roller to give full contact between the pin , bushing and roller for higher durability .
The EXL Chain has optimised cylindrical parts which improve sliding contacts to help increase service life . It also incorporates Donghua ’ s unique ‘ Easy Break Technology ’ which enables the EXL Chain to be cut in the field using Donghua ’ s Plate Extractor tools .
