RUD Chains, due to their excellent chain core toughness, have high breaking strength and resistance to brittle fracture.
Although generally with increased case hardening depth of round steel link chains the breaking strength decreases, RUD chains combine a very high wear resistance with extraordinary high strenth and toughness. These characteristics permit safe operation, e.g. of a high capacity bucket elevator.
As strength and relation of mechanical and and tribological demand on a chain are dependant on the installation where the chain is used. RUD offers chains and components in Special qualities in differing combinations of wear resistance and breaking strength, to cater for all requirements.
All RUD chains and components in special qualities have a remarkable fatique fractures in operation. Chains and components are matched with regard to their resistance to operating stress.
Worldwide competention and continuous demand for the highest quality requires innovtive quality plans of all companies.
The most important principle of modern quality assurance is that quality is not merely achieved, but has to be produced. Our main objective today therefore is, to controll the formation of a product to an extent that faults do not even have the chance to emerge.
RUD have taken these requirements into account and introduced the RUD Quality Assurance System, described in our RUD Qualtity-Assurance-System-Handbook. The RUD Quality Assurance System uses the latestdevelopments in quality sciences. It meets the requirements of ISO 9001-14001, or officially acknowledged QA system and the demands of the car industry.
