Roll-Ring® chain tensioner
The ROLL-RING® is a simpl♣≤€e yet innovative chain tensioner made&•♦ of a specially formulated polymer. Th•↑e unique design is based onγ a simple toothed ri∏•☆ng that can be installed to≈α♦ a horizontal, vertic"©☆"al or diagonal drive in a matter of sec€∞onds, simply by placing σπit between the two strandγ•s of the chain, it is also s ¶elf-adjusting and maα intenance-free.
When the driver is in u₹♠<se, the ROLL-RING® deforms to an elli&≥©αptical shape due to comp✔♥ ression between the wires and complε₹etely absorbs any slack in the s'$±∞ystem. The ROLL-RING® cγ>♣ ombines a tensioner and a damper int'λ¶o one, making it ide✔☆↑al for applications where mai' ntenance is difficult or φ♠Ωimpossible.

Tensioning and damping
ROLL-RING® chain tensioners •<≈provide tension by:
-
Static tension from the elasti♦±Ωc ring
Dynamic tension from the damping of thσ€©e working material The ROLL-RING® p π♦rovides as much tension as p♥↑↑ossible at low chain speeds ♠βand retains tension and damping¥> capacity for higher chai ®n speeds.

advantage
ROLL-RING® chain tens•∏≈ioners provide cost-effective, ✔↕time-saving installation and ma$≈εintenance.
Compared to other types of chain tδ×ensioners, the advantage>Ωs are:
-
The ROLL-RING® can be easily instα'¥¥alled where space is l♦↔imited and traditional chain te>✔₹nsioners cannot be used.
-
The ROLL-RING® can be installe&™d in just a few seconds.✔λ×
-
Freestanding: No sproc©<kets, bolts, plates, drilling, or exβαpensive installation required
-
It can be used without any tools, te ≥¥±nsioning equipment, orσ any further alignme₹<αnt or adjustment.
-
It is fully effectiv σ☆e in both vertical and diagonal γ>drives.
-
The ROLL-RING® works automatically≈γ¥♠, is maintenance-free and self-≤↓lubricating.
-
Can be used in dusty, >∑dirty environments.
-
The ROLL-RING® is a combinatβ&ion of tensioner and damper in >♦×↕one, which reduces n←$→₩oise levels.
-
The ROLL-RING® also works in revβ$£¥erse mode.
-
ROLL-RING® chain tensioners r×£<educe chain wear and iε£mprove the quality and e₩€¶fficiency of the entγ✘ ire chain drive.
