MAXTOP chains use solid (seamless) bushings and rollers.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know the differences between solid and conventional split (curled) bushings\/rollers?<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

How do solid bushings and rollers improve the chain performance?<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Split bushings and rollers<\/font><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Split
<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Split bushings have inferior rigidity and roundness, and deform into barrel shape when plates are pressed on.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It would lead to uneven contact area (point to point) with pins. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the split bushings leak lubricating oil through their seams. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

All these factors make the split chains have higher wearing and shorter working life than solid bushing chain.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Solid bushings and rollers<\/font><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Solid
<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Solid bushings have high rigidity and good fully cylinder through integral molding. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

When plates are pressed on, the bushings are not easy to deform. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

These allow the pins to have full contact with the bushings.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Without seams to cause leaking, the solid bushings effectively maintain the lubricant. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the roller chains with solid bushings and rollers have superior wear resistance and longer working life than split ones.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Test comparison: Split bushings and roller chain vs Solid bushing and roller chain<\/font><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Test result is based on MCC lab.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\"solid
<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The testing result show that roller chains with solid bushings and rollers greatly improves wear resistance and working life.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/font><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

High wear resistance is achieved by full contact between the pins and solid bushings.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

With seamless, the solid bushings improve leakage of lubricating oil.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, working life of chain is greatly extended.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
