Chain wheels and guide rollers

Production

Chain wheels

Our chainwheels are manufactured from material C 45 as standard. The tooth flanks are either flame- or induction-hardened. For special application purposes are available for other steel types for manufacturing. One special quality feature of our toothed discs is the CNC contour-milled tooth contour. Together with the plane-parallel milled forks of the chain links, an optimum contact situation is guaranteed. This interaction has a positive effect on the service life of the individual components.

The best chain wheels

Depending on the application area, chainwheels need to be adapted to the respective requirement. We know which type is suitable for your industry and we will find the perfect solution. Standard is no good? Then let's develop your individual product together.

Standard chain wheel

Application: this ensures optimum contact between the chain links and the bearing flanks of the chain wheels.
 

Reversible chain wheel

Application: for use in changing directions of rotation.
 

Chain wheel in divided version

Application: divided hub for easier replacement. The shaft does not need to be removed.

The welding process

We have a flash butt welding machine with an integrated deburring device to optimise the welded joint between the fork link and the driver. The flash butt-welding process is a computer-controlled welding process with parameter logging. Any impairment of the chain link due to uneven preheating is ruled out. 
The result is a homogeneous material structure and a unit between fork link and driver. We also make use of the possibilities of autogenous and inert gas welding. For use in particularly abrasive environments and for a long service life, we reinforce our chain links with high-strength armoured wire.

Cement industry

Our Branscheid chains are optimised for feeding clinker plants in the cement industry.  Our fork link chains are characterised by high chain tensile forces, a long service life and optimum suitability for harsh operating conditions.
