Analogue of DIN 762 chain

What the DIN 762 chain is

DIN 762 is a family of long-link calibrated proof-tested round-link chains with a nominal pitch of 5d (gauges roughly from 10 to 23 mm). These are traction chains for chain conveyors and bucket elevators; in the current editions, part 1 is class 3 and part 2 is class 5. The long link (pitch 5d) distinguishes them from short-link lifting and transport chains.

Russian analogue

The Russian basis is long-link welded chains of normal strength:

• to GOST 2319-81 — welded general-purpose round-link chains;
• to our TU 25.93.17-001-06515248-2020 (TU-001, class 3) — long-link versions.

This is a close correspondence by link type and strength class, not full interchangeability: DIN 762 has a 5d pitch and a special conveyor purpose, and class 5 (part 2) is not produced in our range. Verify the gauge, pitch, link width, loads and weight per 1 m.

Correspondence by standards: heavy-duty conveyor versions — the basis is GOST 25996-97 (high-strength calibrated chains for mining equipment, ISO 610-90); standard duties — GOST 2319-81, version 1 (calibrated, for operation with sprockets).

Both plant lines suit a conveyor task: class 3 for standard duties, T8 for heavy-duty. The conveyor (traction) versions in our range are collected in the catalog category Conveyor chains (traction).

How to select

1. Measure the gauge (d), pitch (t) and outer link width.
2. Use the pitch as a guide: for DIN 762 it is 5d.
3. Check the loads and weight per 1 m against our TU table.
4. For conveyor tasks, also agree the sprocket engagement and the loading conditions.

Non-standard sizes and lengths — to order, by parameters or drawing.

Important

DIN 762 is a traction chain for continuous transport machinery, not a load-handling device. A match in gauge is not enough: the final conformity is confirmed by a technologist for the specific task and size. We use the wording “analogue/replacement”, without third-party trademarks.
