Selecting the Right Industrial Chain for Maximum Efficiency
Learn how pitch, material, and lubrication affect chain life in steel, cement, and power applications.
Choosing the right industrial chain is critical for long service life and reduced maintenance costs. Factors like pitch size, break load, material grade, and lubrication method all directly affect how long your chain will last under operating loads.
For heavy-duty applications like steel plants and cement mills, we recommend our BS/ANSI multi-strand roller chains with in-house heat treatment for maximum surface hardness. For food-grade and corrosive environments, stainless steel options with self-lubricating bushings are ideal.
Galaxy Chains Pvt. Ltd. manufactures chains to BS 228, ANSI B29.1, IS 2403, and ISO 606 standards — covering pitches from 0.5" to 2.5" in Simplex to 8-Plex configurations.
