DRIVE CHAINS: 4+1 REASONS WORTH YOUR ATTENTION
The Czech company ŘETĚZY VAMBERK is one of the largest manufacturers of chains and sprockets in Central Europe.
It manufactures drive chains of various types such as: conveyor belt chains, chains for high torques and forces, conveyor, rotary, special, as well as chains for lifting machines, agricultural chains, chains for bakeries, for the insulating materials industry, for the wood and paper industry and for a range of other applications in all industrial sectors.
In its product range it also includes sprockets provided for all types of chains.
Let's take a closer look at which industries benefit the most from the use of drive chains.
LIFTING MACHINE CHAINS
Lifting machine chains are manufactured by ŘETĚZY VAMBERK based on design for high tensile loads. They are most often applied to lifting equipment such as forklifts and are also used to hold the counterweight in elevators or used as conveyor chains in cranes.
Chains are mostly supplied in specific lengths and terminate in end links at each end, either the inner link or the outer link.
ŘETĚZY VAMBERK delivers chains in AL, BL (LH) and LL versions. The AL and BL (LH) versions are manufactured to the American standard, while the LL version is manufactured to the British standard.
Special constructions in different lengths are possible upon request.
CHAINS WITH PARTICULAR RESISTANCE TO GREAT FORCES
These chains are similar to ordinary chains, but are more reinforced and their links are secured against rotation. These chains are suitable for carrying high pulling forces at low speeds.
conveyor CHAINS
The manufacture of conveyor chains constitutes the largest part of the manufacturer's output. ŘETĚZY VAMBERK produces and supplies the full range of standard conveyor chains FV to DIN 8165, M to DIN 8167, ISO 1977 and ČSN 26 0401, SMS to Swedish standard SMS 1698 and BS to British standard BS 4116/4.
The company also develops and manufactures special conveyor chains of all possible construction designs and dimensions, intended for all industrial sectors and applications.
ROTARY CHAINS / SPECIAL CHAINS
ŘETĚZY VAMBERK is one of the few manufacturers of these specific products worldwide. It can offer high-quality products thanks to its long-term experience and its special manufacturing department as well as its many years of know-how.
These chains apply in particular
- for the movements of drying and mixing drums in the mining industry
- in the production of fertilizers and asphalt
- in the timber industry
- in cement production
The huge advantage of these chains consists in their high resistance to dynamic load, but mainly in the lower cost of acquisition compared to classic transmissions and the lower cost of maintenance. It should also be mentioned that these chains adapt to the cylindrical shape of the drums and help with their alignment.

AGRICULTURAL CHAINS
All ŘETĚZY VAMBERK products for agriculture are designed for extremely heavy-duty work with irregular lubrication, very dusty environment, irregular and high vibration loads.
The high resistance of the products to dynamic stress and wear is an important factor for their service life. You can find these chains on a wide range of agricultural machinery, such as combines, picking, sorting and spreading machines, etc.
BAKERY CHAINS
ŘETĚZY VAMBERK offers a complete range of chains for the bakery industry, especially for oven installations with product lifting that will satisfy even the most demanding customer.
Bakery chains are available in various designs and combinations upon request. Different materials (steels, stainless steel, plastic) can be used, heat treated, surface finished and lubricated. To ensure proper operation of the conveyors, the chains are also pre-tensioned, paired and marked.
CHAINS FOR THE INDUSTRY OF INSULATING MATERIALS
Thanks to its long-term cooperation with leading manufacturers and users, ŘETĚZY VAMBERK has developed a wide range of products for chains used for the production of insulating materials from various raw materials such as glass, basalt, polystyrene, etc.
The chains are used in the entire process, namely from the initial raw material with the processing of the materials in a collection chamber up to the curing oven and the actual packaging of the finished products.
The company's products are characterized by an extremely long lifespan. This long life is achieved through the use of special materials and the know-how applied to the design of the products and their manufacture, ensuring high precision and resistance to wear.
CHAINS FOR THE WOOD AND PAPER INDUSTRY
ŘETĚZY VAMBERK offers a complete range of chains for the wood and paper industry that will satisfy even the most demanding customer.
More than 60 years of experience and the development of technologically advanced products in this field (in cooperation with both manufacturers and end users) make the company one of the leading manufacturers in the field.
Its products are intended for almost all movement and transport processes in the wood and paper industry, such as round timber transport, sawmills, sawn timber transport and sorting, bundle transport, chip conveyors up to paper roll conveyors or chipboard transport etc.
SPECIAL CHAINS

As a designer and manufacturer of special chains and sprockets, ŘETĚZY VAMBERK meets specific customer requirements and always seeks to propose the best solution.
Meets any customer requirement for design, dimensions, raw material, lubrication, heat and surface treatment of chains and sprockets.
THE ROLE OF sprockets IN CHAIN TRANSMISSION
First we must emphasize that chains and sprockets go together.
Sprockets / wheels are an integral part of the transmission and of the chain and therefore are one of the most important factors related to their proper operation and long life.
When we have a machine that produces more or less revolutions than we need to move something, chains and sprockets help us change the reduction ratio and get the speed we want.
Also, when our space does not allow us to put the driving machine directly on our application, we use chains and sprockets to reach the driven machine in places we could not otherwise. Modern machines usually do not use chains and sprockets to transmit the motion because the driving machine is inserted directly onto the application.
When we have conveyor belts of heavy materials we usually use chains to transport them on the conveyor belt.
ŘETĚZY VAMBERK offers sprockets/ wheels with all its chains. More specifically, it offers sprockets/ wheels with teeth according to ČSN / DIN / ISO / ANSI standards as well as sprockets with optimized tooth shapes. The sprockets/ wheels are manufactured from high quality materials and can be supplied without heat treatment, with heat treatment or with teeth that have undergone induction upon request.
