SPECIAL EQUIPMENT Increasing demands on the availability and wear resistance of chains in various applications of the steel industry require modern product concept designs. Corresponding solutions and products are offered by KettenWulf Betriebs GmbH, a family-owned company located in Eslohe, Germany. The company's product range of conveyor chains and drive chains covers applications from hot metal treatment, steel production and further processing up to the transport of the finished products. High availability and wear resistance are key points in KettenWulf s product concept of high efficiency under cost structure considerations. Besides fatigue strength, wear resistance in the chain joint plays a major role in the life cycle of a chain. The geometry of the individual chain components - i.e. dimensioning of link plates, bushes, pins and rollers - is a basic requirement as well as adherence to bearing pressure limits between bushes and pins, bushes and rollers as well as bearing stress considerations at the sidebar pitch holes.
