Renold Synergy Built to be better

• Plate Shape – wide waist profile for improved stress

distribution; plate thickness maximised within the
constraints of the Standard.
• Bushes – solid extruded bush provides improved
roundness and strength compared to curled
bushes. Profiled ends improve bearing area and
extend wear life.
• Hole Quality – triple punch holing ensures controlled
positional location of pin and bushing for even wear.
• Interference Fits – optimised to ensure maximize
fatigue life.
• Fatigue Resistance – pre-stressed surfaces increase
fatigue resistance.
• Wear Resistance – profiled components and special
pin surface coating enhance wear resistance.
• Connecting Link – unique in design, allowing for
a chain system with no component weaker than
another.

• Exclusive! Our unique end-softened pins cut to length
