Over three times the bush – roller wear life Longer life means less maintenance and lower running costs. Coefficient of friction is reduced by 1/3, greatly reducing the required power and allowing for a chain two sizes smaller to be selected. Greatly reduced CO 2 emissions thanks to lower required power.
Longer lifetime, no lubrication required, environmental- friendly. Maintenance time is reduced, less waste generated. Fits to the millimeter, no additional material or space needed, less downtime due to open construction. Resource conservation, less waste generated.
