The performance of existing plant and machinery can sometimes be markedly improved by the simplest of modifications, such as retrofitting a better quality transmission chain. Greg Sharp of Tsubaki UK expands on the concept and looks at some real-world examples where productivity and profitability gains were achieved It is easy to take transmission and conveyor chain for granted. Often viewed as a commodity product, it's easy to overlook the demands and stresses placed on each link during operation. The effects of impacts, misalignment, harsh conditions or poor maintenance can quickly lead to wear or damage, which can result in lost production hours. This creates an interesting opportunity: why not consider using a high quality or specialist replacement chain that will lead to better overall machine performance?
