Safe and reliable protection for cables in dynamic applications plays a crucial role in modern industry, where operational efficiency is all-important. The market is demanding increasingly high-performance cable-chain systems able to cope with longer runs, higher speeds and added weights, and greater durability as well. Our IR-Chains with Invisible Rolling system meet these needs and offer superior protection by eliminating malfunction risks and machine downtime.
In this article, we will explore the characteristics and benefits of IR-Chains, designed for use in a variety of industrial applications.
MAXIMUM CABLE PROTECTION
The distinctive feature of Brevetti Stendalto’s IR-Chains is their specific design. IR-Chains offer reliable protection of utilities, especially in tough industrial applications with extremely long runs, and high speed and acceleration. Brevetti Stendalto’s Invisible Rolling (IR) technology provides chains with a strong structure with great resistance against wear and reduced friction. IR-Chains, therefore, represent the best choice in the most challenging applications, where resistance against corrosive agents must coexist with excellent flawless durability even in extreme conditions.
RELIABILITY RUNS ON ROLLERS
Ensuring the most reliable performance for chain systems was the top priority that inspired Brevetti Stendalto’s R&D department to design a technology based on rolling. Retractable wheels prevent -elongation issues and allow the chain to always benefit from rolling friction. Such reduction in friction prolongs chain life, reduces stress on utilities, and globally minimises wear and tear of the chain system.
DYNAMIC HIGH-SPEED PROTECTION
Another advantage of IR-Chains is their ability to provide dynamic protection to utilities in high-speed applications. The decrease in friction and the consequent reduction in the push-pull force required to move the chain system enable the very high operational speed required by modern quay cranes as well as other industrial equipment.
MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
The versatility of IR-Chains makes them the best choice in many applications, including port cranes, bulk handling, steel plants, industrial automation and wherever very high operational performance is required.
The 6 winning features of IR-Chains can be summarised as follows
- Reliable performance
- Reduction of system push-pull force
- Invisible rolling technology that eliminates interference between wheels
- Durability
- Design adaptability to the toughest environments
- Perfect alignment between the top and bottom chain runs during movement
