Inverted tooth chain from UK manufacturer
Building on the success of its inverted tooth conveyor chains, Pennine has now launched a new range of inverted tooth power transmission chains. Pennine’s new PP and PPV chains use components manufactured in the company’s assembly facility in Yorkshire and its own Press shop in the West Midlands, in fact all manufacturing is undertaken here in the UK, and all steel used in the new range of chains is sourced from either the UK or within Europe.
The new PP range is available in both 3/8in and 1/2in pitch designs, with standard widths between 3/4in (19mm) and 6in (150mm). Typical applications for the new Pennine PP range would be chain drives with high loads and speed where space is limited. The PPV range of chains and sprockets redefines high performance for inverted tooth chains, capable of speeds in excess of 2,000 metres/min. The PPV chain is interchangeable with competitor chains and is also available in both 3/8in and 1/2in pitch.
Both types of chain are available in Centre and Side guide assemblies. All the link plates used in these chains include a number of special processes which increase the load bearing contact points and relieve material stresses giving uniformed components.
