A-Series Drive Chains According to DIN 8188 (ASA/ANSI)
American A-series drive chains are used for power transmission in mechanical systems. The most common type is the roller chain, while bush chains are available in selected sizes. These chains are standardized according to ISO 606 (DIN 8188, ANSI B29.1). Sometimes, they are also referred to as ASA or ANSI chains.
Roller chains of the American series are typically made of steel and available in simplex, duplex, and triplex designs. We also offer chains with enhanced performance features, made from advanced materials for demanding applications.
