Applications  Lube-free drive chain - 2. Melted aluminum supply device

Chain use

  • ・Lambda chain  RS60-LMDKF-1

Applications

Melted aluminum supply device

Melted aluminum supply device

Lambda Chain is used in the robot arms of a melted aluminum supply system.

Advantage

  • ・Application challenges
    The original installation used standard Lambda Chain. Due to the high temperature, the oil-impregnated bushes quickly ran out of oil, leading to a short service life.
  • ・User assessment
    Replacing with KF Series Lambda Chain, which uses special lubricant less subject to volatilization and deterioration, even in high temperatures (150℃ to 230℃), dramatically extended the wear life.
