Welded Metric Series – What are Welded Metric Chains?

At John King Chains, we offer a range of high-quality conveyor chains in our Welded Metric Series, including our metric welded bush chains, designed to offer unrivalled reliability and longevity. But what are welded metric chains and how could they be useful for your business?

Welded chains, which may also be known as metric roller chains or welded steel chains, are a type of power transmission chain widely used for industrial applications, including for conveying, driving, and transferring power. They feature inner links, outer links, pins, rollers, and bushes. 

Specialised Design

Welded metric chains are characterised by welded pins and bushes which, when applied correctly, can increase the strength of the chain by around 30%. Welded joints connect the inner links and the rollers. Providing a strong and durable connection that ensures superior performance and increased resistance to wear, even under heavy loads and harsh operating conditions.

There are several types of welded chains which can come in a variety of sizes and specifications making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including for use in conveyor systems, material handling equipment, industrial processing, and more. They can also be customised with different attachments, coatings, and surface treatments to make them more suitable for specific requirements.

Our metric welded bush chains have proven to be the most reliable conveying medium, even in aggressive settings such as log conveyance in forestry environments. With fully heat-treated components and a welded pin and brush, they are designed to deliver maximum chain life and performance.

With the correct installation, maintenance and servicing, metric welded chains can help to improve the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of your conveyor systems, even under heavy-duty operations.
