The threat of corrosion caused from wet or chemical applications is no match for ATRA-FLEX® Nitrocarburized Couplings from U.S. Tsubaki. Learn more about how to significantly improve the lifespan and performance of critical components, providing both cost savings and enhanced reliability.
U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission, LLC (U.S. Tsubaki) introduces Dura Drum sprockets, designed to reduce downtime, increase savings and provide greater reliability for conveyor systems. Available as a full-faced or A-plate drum sprocket, Dura Drum helps keep heavy-duty operations, including forestry and metal recycling facilities, running efficiently and profitably.
Chain and sprocket drives of one form or another have been driving machines and
conveying materials for over a thousand years. The chain manufacturing industry has developed numerous types and sizes of drive chains. Although it is a mature form of power transmission, there are still many industrial applications for which drive chain is suited. It is economical, resistant to shock loads, easy to install, has the ability to transmit high torque, operates in hostile environments, and is efficient. Chain and sprocket drives are highly engineered and manufactured within close tolerances.
As with just about everything else
in the manufacturing world — and
all which that universe entails — it
depends. After all, that’s why the art
of manufacturing is a process — not
a one-system-fits-all discipline. Yes,
once that process has been properly
designed and correctly implemented
for a given manufacturing production
need, it may well run like the astest,
smoothest cookie-cutter-type operation
ever devised.
