When selecting chains, differences in standards and structures affect their application and performance. DIN 5685A/C and DIN 5686 are common European standard chains widely used in agriculture, industry, construction, and other fields.

Overview of DIN 5685A/C and DIN 5686 Chains

DIN 5685 chains follow German industrial standards and are mainly divided into:

DIN 5685A (short link)
DIN 5685C (long link)

DIN 5686 chains are knot chains, featuring a different structure from standard chains, and are used for specific applications.

Features and Applications of DIN 5685A/C Chains

DIN 5685A (Short Link)

Features: Shorter links, higher strength, less prone to deformation。
Applications: Commonly used in agricultural equipment, fencing, suspensions, and light traction.
Material: Usually carbon steel or stainless steel.

DIN 5685C (Long Link)

Features: Longer links, high flexibility, easy to handle.
Applications: Commonly used in lifting, securing, pet chains, and maritime applications.
Material: Similar to DIN 5685A, generally made of carbon steel or stainless steel.
