Product Description
Steel spiked chain (also called spiked roller chain or traction chain) is a specialized power transmission chain that features protruding spikes or lugs for enhanced grip. These chains are designed for applications that require effective traction in harsh conditions such as mud, ice or uneven terrain.
Key Features and Benefits
High Traction - Spikes/lugs prevent slipping on loose or slippery surfaces.
Durability - Made of hardened steel for impact and abrasion resistance.
Customizable Spikes - Spike length, shape and spacing can be adjusted to specific needs.
Corrosion Resistant - Optional coatings (galvanized, nickel-plated) for harsh conditions.
Load Capacity - Reinforced links to handle heavy-duty applications.

Selection Guide
When choosing a steel spike chain, consider the following:
Spike configuration (fixed or removable, spike spacing)
Chain strength (matching load requirements)
Environmental factors (corrosion, wear, temperature)
Compatibility (sprocket tooth profile must match spikes)
MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
PERIODIC INSPECTION: Check for broken nails, worn bushings or elongation.
LUBRICATION: Use high pressure grease on pivot points.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Always use guards/covers to prevent entanglement.
Comply with OSHA/ISO machinery safety standards.
We also provide Sprockets.
