Special and non-standard chains

Special chains are chains whose design or dimensions do not fit into the other groups. They are most often sought as spare parts for a specific machine when the original chain is hard to get or expensive.

Special and non-standard chains - an equivalent instead of a part from the machine manufacturer

Instead of waiting for a part from the machine manufacturer, you choose an equivalent based on the designation or the dimensions of the old chain. That means shorter downtime and usually a lower repair cost. Matching connecting links are available for most chains in this group, so you can shorten and close the chain on site without sending it to a service centre.

Non-standard DG and TM series chains and chains with a special pitch

Non-standard chains, including the DG and TM series, as well as individual chains with a special design or pitch. Exact dimensions and designation are given on the product page. Standard roller chains can be found in the A-type chains and B-type chains groups.

Questions and answers: choosing a non-standard chain without a designation

What should I do if I don't know the chain designation?

Measure the old chain: the pitch, inner width, and roller and pin diameters. With these dimensions you can easily compare it with the chains in our range.
