RexCarbon is a maintenance-free roller chain. It has been developed tosatisfy the demands of production machines and plant that run continuously at full capacity. The sliding sleeves are produced from an advanced engineering plastic, they ensure the hygienic, rigidity and dynamic performance characteristics. The high-tech sleeve material suffers negligible creep, thereby enhancing the chain’s positioning capabilities. Being lubrication-free, the chain is ideal for applications where contamination risks must be eliminated, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It can be used in temperatures ranging from –40 upto +100°C and has operating speeds of up to 2 m/sec. Independent tests have shown that the plastic sleeves have improved the absolute rigidity of Rexnord’s new chain by 36.4%, the relative rigidity of the plastic sleeves by 100.7% and its wear resistance improved 18 times compared with conventional plastic sleeve chains. It is resistant to moisture, grease, oils, alcohol and corrosive liquids, including many acids.For extra corrosion resistance, an optional coating can be factory applied.
