ENGLISH A new innovation from RUD APPLICATIONS ® THE SYSTEM: TECDOS offers system solutions for transmission and conveying applications from one source. TECDOS offers new and cost effective alternatives to a vast variety of drive and conveying tasks. THE 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 even ice stop the RUD Omega Drive. This drive concept has proven itself in many applications all over the world. RUD Omega drive is the solution: for moving ship cranes, tracking solar panels to the sun, or simply traversing a machine. YOUR ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE:

TECDOS Omega Drive for a ship loader: A= Drive Chain guide avoids jumping over the wheel of the chain, even with a nagged or a floppy chain. Reduced bending stress and higher reliability to fatigue failure because of pocket wheels for reversion. Perfect geometric match between chain and wheel. Tradition in Dynamic Innovation Target of the project was to supply a robust and safe drive for a ship loader. At the pier the loader can be moved on rails in longitudinal direction. The vertical movement of the loading unit is carried out by a rope drive. The old equipment was worn out and the safety of the system could not be guaranteed anymore. With the expertise of our RUD engineers and our sophisticated TECDOS round steel chain system, a smooth and safe operation of the application could be achieved. 4 pocket wheels, case hardened, for reversion 4 end fixings less stress at working load and thus less abrasion case-hardened chain with longer lifetime very good accuracy of fit between chain and wheel guide wheels as pocket wheels, fatigue reduced bending stress and higher reliability to endurance failure chain jumping over the wheel is no longer possible, because of an added chain guide also with a nagged or a floppy chain a safe operation is possible RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u.
