KMD Standard Economy Roller Chains
KMD Standard Economy Roller Chains
KMD Standard is the economy chain brand of KMD Chain. These are standard drive chains for universal use. They are suitable for normal operating conditions under normal to medium loads. They are available as simplex to sextuplex chains to European standard DIN 8187 and American standard DIN 8188, as well as simplex chains to factory standards.
Since the end of 2017 a new, improved version of this standard chain series has been available.
The main advantages of the improved KMD Standard are:
Seamless rollers, standard bushes
Higher breaking load than DIN
Pre-stretching of the chains with a higher force, equal to 30–50% of the breaking load depending on size. This minimizes the possibility of later elongation during operation
A special grease/liquid oil combination is used for the initial lubrication of the chain. The liquid lubricant evaporates relatively quickly as the chain heats up during operation, but the grease keeps melting slowly and provides long-lasting lubrication even after the liquid lubricant has evaporated. This means less wear and a longer life
The chains KMD Standard have a small twist angle – max. 9 degrees per 3 m. Their components rotate freely
High-quality materials – special carbon and alloy steels for the individual components
Sand-blasting of all components
Special plate-hole treatment ensuring perfectly round holes and better riveting
All chains come with an inspection certificate according to EN 10204-3.1
All chains are marked KMD-St and with the chain type
All chains are packed in branded KMD boxes
All chains KMD Standard up to size 16B/A are supplied in 5 m lengths + 1 connecting link, and larger sizes in 2.5 m lengths + 1 connecting link
All standard chain sizes are in stock in Sofia, with delivery within 24 hours anywhere in Bulgaria
The chains KMD Standard are lower priced than other chains of this design in this economy segment
