Choose the correct Renold chain

Use the table below to help choose the right chain for your application. When it comes to choosing the right chain for the job, there are many elements to consider.

For general purpose use, choose from our range of Transmission Chains. Here, wear, fatigue performance and suitability of use in high speed systems may be an important consideration.

However, in some circumstances, such as highly corrosive environments, resistance to chemicals may be of higher importance. Where this is the case, choose from our range of Solution chains.
