ENGLISH®THE SYSTEM:TECDOS offers system solutionsfor transmission and conveyingapplications from one source.TECDOS offers new and cost effectivealternatives to a vast variety of driveand conveying tasks.A new innovationfrom RUDTHE OMEGA DRIVE:This innovative drive concept still ”purrs“along reliably when rack-and-pinion drives,spindle drives or roller chains have long given up.Dirt, rain, aggressive media and not evenice stop the RUD Omega Drive. This driveconcept has proven itself in many applicationsall over the world.RUD Omega drive is the solution: for movingship cranes, tracking solar panels to the sun,or simply traversing a machine.YOUR ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE:APPLICATIONS

PRACTICAL EXAMPLETECDOSOmega Drivefor a ship loader:Description of the problem:Target of the project was to supply a robust and safe drivefor a ship loader. At the pier the loader can be moved on railsin longitudinal direction.The vertical movement of the loading unit is carried out bya rope drive. The old equipment was worn out and the safetyof the system could not be guaranteed anymore.RUD solution:AWith the expertise of our RUD engineers and oursophisticated TECDOS round steel chain system, a smoothand safe operation of the application could be achieved.A=DriveChain guide avoids jumpingover the wheel of the chain, evenwith a nagged or a floppy chain.Reduced bending stress and higherreliability to fatigue failure becauseof pocket wheels for reversion.Perfect geometricmatch betweenchain and wheel.Endfixation and easy axial tensioning possibility.RUD equipment:2 strands TECDOS Premium chain, case hardened2 pocket wheels, case hardened, for drive2 chain guides, case hardened4 pocket wheels, case hardened, for reversion4 end fixingsThe following advantages could be achieved:less stress at working load and thus less abrasioncase-hardened chain with longer lifetimevery good accuracy of fit between chain and wheelguide wheels as pocket wheels, fatigue reduced bendingstress and higher reliability to endurance failurechain jumping over the wheel is no longer possible,because of an added chain guidealso with a nagged or a floppy chain a safe operationis possibleYour contact:RUD KettenRieger & Dietz GmbH u.
