The new Rapid Response service is available for BS steel transmission chain with standard M attachments, K attachments, and extended pins, from half inch (08B) to one inch (16B) pitch, and in accordance with customer specifications.

Renold's dedicated team of specialist engineers are able to ensure that chain is ready for dispatch from the Bredbury Service Centre within 72 hours of an order being placed. For more urgent requirements the team offers an even faster service of either 48 or 24 hours, depending on requirements.

The service includes chain measuring and matching on high precision rigs and preloading on specialist machinery. Measuring and matching is particularly important, for example, on positioning applications where two strands of chain need to be in perfect alignment with each other, and the preloading of chain eliminates initial wear, or elongation, after installation.

The Bredbury Service Centre also features an in-house lubrication service for chain destined for a wide range of applications and environments. This includes food grade lubrication, cold temperature lubrication, hot lubrication, wax lubrication for dusty environments like quarries, and marine lubrication for salt water conditions.
