LAMBDA for international standards
  • Operates in temperatures up to 302°F
  • Replaces BS/DIN chain
  • Cost effective, lube-free operation


The heavy roller link plates slightly increase the width, which means drive LAMBDA connecting links are required.

  • 1 Width between roller link plates (W) is slightly narrower than ANSI standard, however this chain runs on standard sprockets.
