Stainless Marathon chains: For maximum efficiency and optimum drive performance.

The stainless version of the Marathon chain is particularly suited for areas of application in which freedom of maintenance is a key factor in addition to availability, operational safety and reliability. With the new polymer bearing TRIGLEIT II, the MARATHON RF offers an exceptionally long service life even without re-lubrication. It proves its strengths in application areas with permanent water contact or dry running operations.

The combination of stainless steels with the new polymer bearing TRIGLEIT II with high load-bearing capacity ensures an extremely powerful chain link. With three different bearings for the MARATHON RF, Wippermann offers optimum solutions in terms of efficiency and technology for application in high temperature environments up to + 200 °C through to FDA conformity.

The dimensions of stainless marathon chains comply with ISO 606, so that any stainless steel standard chain can be replaced. The Wippermann range also includes roller chains of the "GL" series with straight plates and double pitch roller chains in accordance with ISO 1275.
