A chain is a metal product consisting of round or oblong links connected in series with each other. DIN 5685 is a German standard that specifies requirements for chains and chain components. A short link chain is one type of chain that complies with this standard. A short link chain consists of a series of interconnected links that are short in length.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 5685 chains
DIN 5685 chains are made of steel and additionally coated with zinc. Plated zinc protects against corrosion if the fasteners are to be used in aggressive environments.
Areas of application for DIN 5685 chains
DIN 5685 is a chain that has a fairly wide range of applications. It can be used as a means of stretching in construction, for suspending or lifting lightweight structures, as elements of various mechanisms, as well as for the needs of farms and private households. The short link chain is widely used in various industries, such as industry, agriculture, cargo transportation, construction, repair work, and much more. The application of a short link chain depends on its strength, dimensions and other parameters, which are defined by DIN 5685.
