Designing chain drives

When choosing roller chain for drive and conveyor applications there are a number of specific factors that need to be taken into consideration. To assist our customers, we have compiled the "iwis Chain Handbook" which describes and illustrates some basic principles of chain engineering.

You can also submit a calculation inquiry form to iwis's team of experienced engineers and developers for help with your particular application.
