Low maintenance roller chains are suitable for applications where frequent lubrication is inconvenient, time-consuming, or not feasible due to environmental factors or operational constraints. They incorporate specific features that reduce wear, friction, and the accumulation of contaminants and provide advantages such as extended chain life, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs.

Sealed Roller Chains

Sealed roller chains feature built-in seals like O-rings or X-rings, providing efficient lubrication retention and protection against contaminants. Reduce friction, enhance durability, and minimize maintenance needs in diverse applications.

Sealed chains, such as O-ring and X-ring chains, are commonly used in various applications, including motorcycles and industrial machinery, to reduce the need for frequent lubrication and maintenance. These chains are designed with special seals (O-rings or X-rings) between the chain’s inner and outer plates, which help retain lubrication within the chain’s internals and prevent contaminants from entering.

The seals used in O-ring and X-ring chains create a barrier that helps to retain lubrication, which prolongs the chain’s life and reduces the frequency of re-lubrication.
