Silent Chain for Power Transmission
Ramsey has manufactured silent chain for more than 80 years.
Silent chain drives are capable of transmitting power with low noise, high efficiency, and reduced vibration, at speeds and loads that exceed the capability of other belts and chains. There are many styles of silent chain and Ramsey offers a wide range of designs for different application requirements and budgets. Almost all Ramsey silent power transmission chains utilize efficient, quiet, two-pin roller bearing joints; technology which has been shown to outperform conventional, round pin joints.* These chains can be found in a wide variety of demanding industrial applications and similar designs are used in 4 wheel drive automobiles and NASCAR racing engines.
More detailed information on each chain style is available by clicking on the product links below.
