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

The special sprockets which were explicitly designed for the rigid chain deployed in the Marathon Lift get the system moving. The special gearing interlocks perfectly with the rigid chain thus minimising wear of the loaded components. A patented deflection ensures smooth and even movement.

Efficient drive systems are the result of the perfect synchronisation of the interaction of all components. Our goal has always been to fulfil all requirements even if they seem to contradict each other. With the Marathon Lift, we managed to transfer the energy required for the lifting movement via the sprocket to the chain only after the deflection of the passive part of the rigid chain.

The users of the Marathon Lift benefit directly from decades of continuous research and development in the realisation of complex drive and conveyor systems. Our extensive know-how in the field of materials and coating as well as friction and wear calculations went into the special design of the chain-sprocket system of our rigid chain drive system.

Special sprockets with specifically adapted gearing for significantly reduced wear

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.

Patented deflection for smooth and even movement

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.

Individuelle Auslegung der Motor- und Getriebeeinheit

Individual dimensioning of motor and gear unit

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.
