Self Lubricating Roller Chains

Self Lube Attachment Roller Chain

Nitro can custom build self lube roller chain with a select number of attachments. For more details, please send us a message.

Where It’s Best Suited

• Low Shock Load Drives: Ideal for applications with minimal shock or sudden load changes, ensuring consistent performance and extended chain life.
• Clean, Dry, Dust-Free Environments: Performs optimally in controlled settings where contaminants are non-existent, allowing the oil-impregnated bushings to maintain lubrication effectively.
• Difficult-to-Lubricate Settings: Perfect for machinery where regular lubrication is challenging or impractical, such as hard-to-reach drives or automated systems.
• Food and Beverage Equipment (Indirect Contact): Suitable for applications where cleanliness is critical but the chain does not directly contact food, leveraging NSF H1-approved oil.
• Temperature-Controlled Settings: Operates best within -4°F to 428°F ambient temperatures, ensuring reliability in moderate temperature ranges.

Limitations

Due to the nature of the sintered bushing & lubrication, there are limitations in the applications where the chain should be used. This chain is be suited for low shock load drives and a dry, clean and dust-free environment. Dusty & dirty environments will cause lubrication to be absorbed faster from the bushing. This chain is also not recommended in negative pressure environments as it can pull the lubrication the from the bushing. At some point, the lubrication will be depleted from the bushing, which will cause accelerated wear and elongation and will require the chain to be replaced.

*Chain should not come in direct contact with food or drinks. It's possible that non-NSF H1 oil may be present from the manufacturing processes of the individual chain parts.
