Short-pitch precision roller chains transmit power between sprockets in conveyors, agricultural machines, packaging lines and gearbox drives. We buy from Chinese factories and quote per metre, FOB; matching sprockets are quoted separately on request. Price follows chain series (A or B), pitch, strand count, steel grade and heat treatment, and surface finish. Buyers are drive-component distributors, machine builders and agricultural equipment makers. Goods ship in reels or boxed lengths, on pallets, by sea.
