AX e-chains® series - special chain for fine dust applications

The 4240AX has been developed for applications where fine dust complicates the use of a conventional e-chain®. With conventional stop systems the finest dust can collect on the stops and cause the radius of the e-chain® to become larger over an extended period of time. Thanks to the external stop dogs, this situation does not occur in the 4040AX and 4240AX.
4240AX Dust of all kinds can settle in the stops and cause failures.
Advantages of the AX chains:

Exterior stop dogs

No accumulation of (wood) dust in the stop dogs

No "setting up" of the e-chain®

Optimised interior space


Potential applications:

Woodworking industry

Coal power stations

Mining

In applications with fine dust/particles

AX
AX AX chain link with external stop dog system
By the exterior stops no dust can accumulate in the stops, but is pushed out again from the chain immediately.
