Abrasion-focused power transmission

DHA Roller Chains for demanding industrial drives

EP Transmission is positioned as one of China’s largest transmission component enterprises. The DHA programme combines standard roller-chain geometry, matched sprockets and wear-focused pin engineering for industrial drives exposed to dust, fines and difficult lubrication access.

Popular DHA Roller Chain Series

Start with pitch and strand count, then confirm roller diameter, inner width, pin diameter, plate geometry and sprocket condition.

Built around the chain joint

Roller-chain wear develops where the pin and bush articulate. DHA-style surface engineering targets that joint while keeping the familiar roller-chain envelope used in many industrial drives.

The 2017 chain catalogue identifies the core parts as outer and inner plates, pins, bushes and rollers, together with connecting and offset links. Selection therefore cannot stop at pitch alone: the whole geometry and the existing sprocket must be checked as a system.

Applications across industry

Different sectors create different wear mechanisms. Dust loading, cycle rate, wash-down, shock load and maintenance access all change the chain decision.

Precision machinery

Compact drives in machine tools, packaging lines and automated equipment demand accurate alignment and stable articulation.

Application engineering →

Material handling

Conveyors and transfer systems often combine contamination, variable duty and guarded access, making sprocket condition and lubrication planning critical.

Material-handling guidance →

Heavy & abrasive service

Aggregate, construction, agricultural and steel-processing duty can expose chain joints to hard particles that accelerate pin-bush wear.

Inspection and maintenance matter as much as chain selection

The source catalogue dedicates technical sections to power selection, lubrication and roller-chain drive maintenance. A strong replacement programme also checks sprocket teeth, alignment, guarding and safe maintenance access.

Chain inspection and testing equipment

What to send for a technical match

Existing chain number, measured pitch, strand count, roller diameter, inner width, sprocket tooth counts, shaft centres, speed, load, contamination, lubrication method and photos of the complete drive.
