Special sprockets and patented deflection for the perfect interaction with the rigid chain

Sprockets must be precisely adapted to the driven chain and the particular application. This is prerequisite to minimise wear and to increase the service life. The special sprockets for the Marathon Lift are another proof of our extensive expertise in this area: The special gearing ensures the smooth motion of the system and is therefore as gentle as possible on the drive components of the push-pull chain under load.

The patented deflection system allows the unique interaction between the chain feeding from the chain box without load and the push phase under heavy load. The chain is deflected load-free on specially shaped guide rails and is decoupled from the lifting movement. This reduces wear in the joint and between the U-bolts to a minimum. Moreover, this functional principle ensures an even motion of the chain and thus a jerk-free lifting of the loads.

The Marathon Lift is strictly designed for trouble-free integration into your system. Within the framework of the usual applicable standards and the technical specifications, plant manufacturers can develop individual solutions for the motor and gear unit of their system in order to adapt it to the specific requirements of their hoisting and conveyor applications. Our engineering department will be of assistance to you at any time.
