Silent Chains for Power Transmission

RPV
Ramsey's RPV line of chain and sprockets redefines high performance for inverted tooth chains. Capable of speeds in excess of 7,000 feet/min and loads of 3,000 HP, RPV offers significantly improved performance over all ANSI Standard Chains. In fact, RPV has been specifically developed to meet or exceed the capacity of all other high performance chains, and is fully interchangeable with Morse HV™ type chain.

Duplex
Duplex Chain is designed for serpentine drives where sprockets are driven from both sides of the chain. Ramsey manufactures three different series of duplex chain:

  • SC duplex has been around the longest, and is the most economical.
  • Rampower duplex offers over two times the power rating of SC duplex and is most often employed in new equipment
  • Ramflex is the most robust duplex design and offers the maximum power capacity.
