DHA Roller Chain in China
China is an important market for general machinery, automotive manufacturing, agricultural equipment, logistics, construction machinery and industrial automation. These sectors often value standard-envelope replacement parts that can be integrated with existing machinery while improving wear control at the chain joint.
Industry fit
For DHA chain selection, start with pitch and strand count, then verify roller diameter, inner width, pin diameter, load, speed, contamination and the existing sprockets. Abrasive-duty treatment is most relevant when joint wear rather than bulk corrosion is the dominant problem.
Regulation & policy context
GB/T 1243-2024 is the current Chinese national standard for short-pitch transmission precision roller and bush chains, attachments and associated sprockets. It took effect on 1 December 2024 and is identical to ISO 606:2015.
Recent market note
The 2024 revision explicitly brings ANSI chain numbers such as 25, 35, 40 and 50 into the standard framework and covers dimensions, tolerances, length measurement, prestretching and minimum strength requirements.
Customer Reviews & Case Studies
