Welded Chain Attachments & Sprockets: Maximizing Chain Utility

Selecting the right attachments and matched sprockets ensures your welded steel chains deliver full performance, longevity, and safety.

Common Attachment Types

Standard WH attachments include A-1/A-2, K-1/K-2, extended pins, and custom brackets for flights, buckets, or scrapers.

Sprocket Selection

Use sprockets designed for chain pitch and sidebar thickness. Engineered-class sprockets differ from roller chain profiles—correct matching reduces wear.

Upgrading Chains & Sprockets Together

Welded chains often interchange with cast chain sprockets, but worn sprockets should be replaced to protect new chains and minimize downtime.
