Agricultural Chains

Standard roller chain, S-type combine chains, C-type conveyor chains, heavy-duty SP series and stainless options — engineered for the abrasive dust, shock loads and continuous duty of Australian fieldwork.

Built For Australian Fieldwork

Chain that survives where lesser drives surrender

An agricultural chain has to work harder than industrial chain ever does. It runs in dust thick enough to cake bearings, swings between freezing dawn starts and 40-degree afternoons, takes shock loads from wet hay, foreign objects and seized rollers, and is expected to keep running for thousands of paddock hours between service intervals.

Our catalogue is the result of two decades supplying these conditions — standard ANSI and BS roller chain through to specialised S-type and C-type agricultural profiles, plus heavy-duty SP series for the highest shock environments and stainless options for fertiliser, slurry and dairy effluent service. Every chain ships with traceable material certificates and tensile test data.

Chain Families

Six chain families covering every Australian drive scenario

From standard tractor implement drives to specialised combine and baler chains, our range matches the chain to the equipment — not the other way around.

Most Common Standard ANSI BS roller chain simplex duplex triplex for agricultural drives

Standard Roller Chain (ANSI / BS)

The everyday workhorse — single, double and triple-strand roller chain to ANSI and BS standards. Fits the bulk of tractor implement drives, header chains, mower decks, planter row units and conveyor returns across the Australian fleet.

  • ANSI 35 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120
  • BS 06B / 08B / 10B / 12B / 16B / 20B
  • Simplex, Duplex and Triplex strands
  • Solid bushing & pin construction
Heavy Duty Heavy duty SP series agricultural chain for shock loaded combine threshing drives

Heavy-Duty SP & HSP Series

Where standard roller chain fatigues, the SP (Strong Plate) and HSP series take over. Heavier side plates, larger pin diameters and shot-peened components extend life dramatically on shock-loaded drives — combine threshing, large-square baler ram drives, forage harvester feed rolls.

  • Up to 30 percent higher tensile strength
  • Shot-peened side plates resist fatigue cracking
  • Through-hardened pins and bushings
  • Direct-fit upgrade for standard chain duty
Combine & Baler Agricultural S-type combine chain S32 S42 S55 S62 S77 S88 series

S-Type Agricultural Chains

The specialised S-series (S32, S42, S55, S62, S77, S88) is the long-pitch agricultural standard for combine pickup conveyors, baler pickup tines, forage harvester feeders and any drive with attachment links. Greater pitch reduces chain mass at lower speeds.

  • S32 / S42 / S55 / S62 / S77 / S88 sizes
  • Standard roller and welded steel options
  • Attachment links (K1, K2, A1, A2, F1, F2)
  • Stainless variants for corrosive duty
Conveyor C-type CA-type agricultural conveyor chain CA550 CA555 CA557 for grain elevators

C-Type / CA-Type Conveyor Chains

The CA-series (CA550, CA555, CA557, CA620, CA627) is the de facto standard for grain elevators, baler bale-tube conveyors, header chain returns and tomato harvester elevators. Wide-flange rollers, drilled side plates for standard attachments.

  • CA550 / CA555 / CA557 / CA620 / CA627 / CA650
  • Standard and oversize roller variants
  • K1 / K2 / F4 / F11 attachment patterns
  • Optional through-hardened pin upgrade
Versatile Hollow pin chain with attachments for agricultural conveyor flight bolting

Hollow Pin & Attachment Chains

Hollow-pin chain accepts cross-rods, paddles or flights bolted directly through the chain itself — the standard for muck spreaders, manure conveyors, beet harvester web aprons and feed mixer scraper conveyors. Saves the cost of welded attachments.

  • HP series in 40HP through 100HP pitches
  • Compatible with standard sprocket profiles
  • Wide range of attachment configurations
  • Carbon steel or stainless construction
Specialty Stainless and special agricultural chains for corrosive fertiliser and dairy effluent service

Stainless & Special Chains

For environments that destroy carbon steel: 304 stainless for general fertiliser and irrigation duty, 316 stainless for high-chloride coastal and dairy effluent service, and self-lubricating polymer-bushed chains for dust-laden conveyors that can't be greased.

  • 304 / 316 stainless roller chain
  • Self-lubricating bushless variants
  • Nickel-plated finishes for marine duty
  • Custom pitches and attachments to drawing

Heavy-Duty Construction

What goes into an SP-series chain

The SP and HSP series cost more than standard roller chain — and last two to three times longer in shock-loaded duty. The difference is in construction details that don't show on the data sheet:

  • Side plates 15 to 20 percent thicker than standard ANSI dimensions, shot-peened for fatigue resistance
  • Pins through-hardened to HRC 55-58 the full diameter — not just case-hardened on the surface
  • Solid one-piece bushings (not curled-and-welded sheet) eliminate the seam failure mode
  • Higher-grade alloy steel rollers, induction hardened to resist abrasion in dusty grain handling
  • Pre-stretched and lubricated assembly — chains arrive pre-conditioned for service

Why CA-series chain dominates grain handling

If you've worked on Australian harvesters or grain elevators, you've seen CA-series chain. It became the agricultural conveyor standard for good reason — the design solves three problems at once:

  • Wide-flange rollers spread the load over a larger contact area, reducing the per-roller pressure that destroys standard chain on heavy grain conveyors
  • Drilled side plates accept the full range of K, F and A attachment patterns without modification — flights, paddles and bolted mounts simply bolt through
  • Long pitch (50.8 mm and up) keeps assembly mass low at the slow speeds typical of conveyors, reducing inertial wear on sprocket teeth
  • Direct interchange with the original CA part numbers means worn chain can be replaced without redesigning the drive
  • Available with hardened-pin upgrade for the dust-loaded conditions of paddock-to-silo grain handling

Specifying Made Simple

Four steps to the right chain every time

Whether you're replacing a worn drive or specifying a new build, work through these in order. If anything is unclear, send us your details and our drive engineers will recommend a part number.

1

Identify the chain

Read the marking stamped on the side plate (e.g. ANSI 60-1, BS 12B-2, S55, CA550). If unstamped, measure pitch with a vernier — pitch is the centre-to-centre distance between two adjacent rollers or pins.

2

Calculate working load

Establish peak and continuous tension. For PTO-driven implements, divide rated power by chain pitch line velocity. Apply a service factor of 1.5 for steady duty, 2.0 for shock loads, 2.5 for severe shock such as rotary cutters or chippers.

3

Choose the duty class

Standard ANSI / BS suits low-shock implement duty. For combines, balers and any drive seeing peak loads above 70 percent of chain rating, specify SP or HSP heavy duty. Corrosive environment? Move to stainless.

4

Verify length & attachments

Count chain links from old chain or calculate from sprocket centres plus chain wrap. Identify any attachment links (K1, K2, A1, A2, F1, F2) or extended pins required for cross-rods. Order with matching connecting links.

Common Questions

Chain FAQs from Australian buyers

What's the difference between ANSI and BS chain, and can I mix them?
ANSI (American) and BS (British) chains use different pitch dimensions and roller diameters even when chain numbers look similar. ANSI 50 chain is not compatible with BS 10B sprockets. Always match chain and sprocket to the same standard. If you're unsure, send us a photo of the side-plate stamp — the marking identifies the standard. Chain and sprocket should always be replaced as a matched pair when worn.
When should I upgrade from standard to SP / heavy-duty chain?
Any drive where peak loads exceed 70 percent of the standard chain's working load limit, or where shock loading is significant. Combine threshing drives, large square baler ram drives, forage harvester feed rolls, big rotary cutters and high-torque irrigation pump drives all benefit. SP-series chain typically runs two to three times longer in field service than standard ANSI in these conditions, even though the upfront cost is only 25 to 35 percent higher.
How is S-type chain different from standard roller chain?
S-type chains (S32, S42, S55, S62, S77, S88) are a separate agricultural standard with longer pitches and specialised side-plate geometry designed for attachment links. They run on different sprocket profiles and are generally not interchangeable with standard ANSI or BS chain. S-type is the standard for combine pickup conveyors, baler pickups and forage feed conveyors — applications with attachment flights, paddles or guide bars bolted to the chain.
Can your chains replace chains from major OEM brands?
Yes — we manufacture to a large library of OEM patterns and can reverse-engineer chain from a worn sample. Provide the OEM part number, a photo of the side-plate stamp, or the equipment serial number, and we will confirm interchangeability. Direct dimensional matching is standard. For high-duty applications we also offer material upgrades over the original specification — for example, hardened pins or reinforced side plates while keeping the OEM-pattern outer dimensions.
Can you make chain to my own drawing or sample?
Yes — about 40 percent of our output is to customer drawings or sample parts. We accept DWG, DXF, PDF and STEP files, or can reverse-engineer from a worn sample chain. Drawings should specify pitch, roller diameter, side-plate dimensions, attachment configuration, material grade and any special heat treatment. Custom pitches outside the standard ANSI / BS series are also possible for specialist OEM equipment.
What warranty applies to your agricultural chains?
All chains carry a 12-month manufacturing defect warranty from date of dispatch, covering material flaws, dimensional non-conformance, tensile failures below rated load, and heat-treatment defects. Wear from normal field use is not covered, nor is failure caused by under-sized chain selection or running on worn sprockets. For OEM customers, extended warranty arrangements can be agreed contractually.
Do you provide ISO certificates and test reports?
Yes — every shipment ships with a certificate of conformity referencing our ISO 9001 quality system. Tensile test reports, material chemistry certificates and pin hardness data are all available on request. For OEM customers we also provide dimensional inspection reports against your drawing tolerances and serialised lot traceability.
Do you supply matched chain-and-sprocket kits?
Yes — many customers find it easier to order chain and sprocket as a matched set. Specify the chain length and standard, sprocket tooth counts and bore configurations, and we ship a kit with chain and wheels matched to the same standard, manufactured tolerance and quality grade. Particularly popular with implement OEMs and harvester rebuild specialists who don't want mismatched-life issues halfway through a season.
What lubricant should I use on agricultural chains?
For most agricultural duty, use a high-cling chain lubricant that resists fling-off. SAE 30 to SAE 80 mineral oils with extreme-pressure additives suit most temperature ranges. In the dust-heavy environments common to harvest, dry film (graphite or PTFE) lubricants reduce dust adhesion. For stainless chain in food or fertiliser duty, use food-grade or chemically inert lubricants only. Avoid grease — it traps abrasive dust against the bearings.
