Australian Standard Short Link Chain

The Australian Standard Short Link Chain is a highly durable chain constructed from low-grade carbon steel. It is available in various link diameters, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and overhead lifting applications. This chain type offers multiple protective finishes and packaging options, including natural, electro-galvanized, and hot-dip galvanized. The chains are made with calibrated short links designed to fit most Australian windlasses.

Different Types of Chain Links

The materials and structures used in chain links define the different types of link chains. Chains made of plastic or metal are more flexible than chains made of adjustable metal. Chains made of flexible materials are more flexible than chains made of steel or copper.

The most common chain type is the cable chain, which consists of uniform oval or round links. These links are usually 90 degrees apart and of the same size, giving the chain a classic look. Another type is the double-stranded or parallel chain. Rectangular or square links of alternating sizes can also be found. Thicker and heavier metal chains are available for those who prefer them, and they tend to be more durable than thinner chains. For those sensitive to metals, chains with higher karat gold can be chosen. Additionally, thin chains with more complex link designs are an option.

The cobra chain is a classic cable chain style that features several rows of alternating "v" shaped flat links. It is flat in profile and also available in low profile. Another classic style is the anchor chain, inspired by the chains used to fasten anchors to boats. Its links are made of vertical and oval rings, making them easy to connect.

Related Sprockets

Sprockets play a crucial role in chain-driven motion systems as they increase efficiency and carry heavy loads. Proper selection of sprockets is essential to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage to the machine. When choosing a sprocket, consider the size and type of fit for your system.

The lifespan of a sprocket can vary depending on factors such as riding style and conditions, chain pitch and size, and maintenance regime. Steel sprockets with "hardened teeth" can triple the lifespan compared to brand new steel sprockets.

Sprockets are toothed wheels that mesh with a chain as they rotate. They are commonly used in bicycles and various motor vehicles.
