Stenter Chains
Monforts Stenter Chain Type 2 Lightweight
Lighter and stronger build with PEEK bush and dust cover, for smoother running on the track.
Product Overview
This is the lightweight build of our Monforts chain for oil-free guide frames. It uses lighter and stronger materials for the PEEK bush and dust cover, which makes the chain run more smoothly along the track.
The component list is the same as the standard build: connectors, U-shaped connectors, pins, PEEK bushes, PEEK dust cover screws and wear sleeves, all with high quality bearings. What changes is mass and smoothness, which is what you notice on a fast line.
Key Benefits
- Lighter and stronger materials make the chain run more smoothly on the track
- Efficient at higher running speeds where a heavy chain drags
- PEEK bush and dust cover for long service life
- Lower assembly weight at approximately 0.63 kg
Who It Is For
- Monforts users running at the top of the machine's speed range
- Engineers looking for smoother chain running without a rail change
- Mills renewing a chain and willing to pay for the better build
Problems It Solves
- Chain drag limiting line speed
- Rough running on the track from a heavier chain build
- Short bush life where the original copper mesh lining has been retained
Application Scenarios
- Fast Monforts lines where chain drag limits speed
- Frames where the chain is audibly rough on the track
- Mills pushing throughput on an existing machine rather than buying a new one
Technical Features
- Lighter and stronger PEEK bush and dust cover materials
- High quality bearings for smooth running at speed
- Same component set as the standard build
- Black finish, approximate weight 0.63 kg

Certifications. We make no certification claim for this part. The original company statement is that products comply with international quality standards; no certificate is named and none is asserted here. Ask us directly if your procurement process requires documentation.
Comparison With Other Options
Against the Type 1 standard build, the lightweight version costs more but runs more smoothly on the track and is the better choice when speed is the constraint. If the line runs well below its top speed, the standard build is the more sensible purchase.
Use Guide
Confirm guide rail condition first, because a worn rail cancels out the benefit
Fit complete sections so chain mass is uniform around the run
Clean and grease the guide and chain at least once a year
Use a high temperature grease such as DuPont, Miller or Kluber
Listen for track noise after fitting; smooth running is the point of this build
FAQ
Questions About Monforts Stenter Chain Type 2 Lightweight
What is different about the lightweight build?
It uses lighter and stronger materials for the PEEK bush and dust cover, which makes the chain run more smoothly when it travels on the track.
Will it let me run faster?
It removes chain drag as a limit. Whether the line goes faster depends on the rest of the machine, particularly the guide rail and the pin bed.
Is the component list the same?
Yes: connectors, U-shaped connectors, pins, PEEK bushes, PEEK dust cover screws and wear sleeves.
How much lighter is it?
Approximately 0.63 kg per unit against 0.65 kg for the standard build.
What maintenance does it need?
The same: clean the guide and chain at least once a year and use a high temperature grease.
Lead time?
Confirmed at quotation, since chains are built to your machine length.
