DONGHUA ASA 160 roller chain

DONGHUA ASA 160 belongs to roller chain, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for ASA 160 and any equivalents.

The DONGHUA ASA 160 roller chain is built for power transmission between parallel shafts in heavy-duty equipment. With a 50.8 mm (2 in) pitch, it handles high loads at moderate speeds when properly lubricated. Its steel construction and standardized dimensions make it a practical choice for conveyors, mills, elevators and other demanding drives.

This chain follows the American ASA series, and the 160 size is defined by three key dimensions: 50.8 mm pitch, 28.58 mm roller diameter and 31.75 mm inner width. Those figures match other chains in the same series, so replacement is straightforward when you keep the original size. DONGHUA produces it in carbon steel with heat treatment that improves wear resistance at the pins and rollers. The large pitch is intended for low-speed, high-force transmission.

You will find ASA 160 chains in drag conveyors, bucket elevators, mill drives, industrial mixers, mining equipment and large agricultural machinery. They also appear in overhead cranes and long-center drives where the shafts are far apart. In these installations, mechanical strength matters more than speed. If your equipment already uses this size, staying with the same series avoids any need to modify sprockets or chain wheels.

During installation, confirm that the sprockets have the correct pitch and are properly aligned. Set tension carefully: a chain that is too loose can jump, while one that is too tight wears bushings and rollers faster. Lubricate with oil or grease suited to the load and speed. Check elongation at regular intervals, and when the chain stretches past the recommended limit, replace it and inspect the sprockets for wear. On critical drives, use safety guards and keep an eye on operating temperature.

If you are looking for an equivalent, send the complete code or the pitch, roller and inner width measurements. With that information we can search for alternatives in the same ASA series or from other brands we supply. We can also help if space is tight and a different pitch needs to be considered. The more precise your details, the faster we can give you a useful answer.
