Can-Am Welded Steel Chains
Can-Am Welded Steel Chains provide an economical and superior replacement for most cast chain applications. They will normally operate over the same sprockets and in the same channel as their cast chain equivalents. Besides being more economical, Welded Steel Chain has the advantages of:
- Greater Wear - simply turn chain over when worn on one side.
- Higher Ultimate Strength - Won't break as easily as malleable chains.
- Weldability - Need attachments? Simply weld them on to side-bars.
For higher impact strength and greater wear resistance, use fully heat treated or induction hardened chain.
Heat treated and induction hardened
Can-Am welded steel chains are available from stock with fully heat treated parts and/or induction hardened parts. For maximum chain life in severe applications including heavy impact loading, high speed requirements, capacity loads, or abrasive conditions, some or all of your Can-Am chain will benefit from specific heat treatment.
Heat treating of Can-Am steel chain will increase the wearability and prolong the life of your chain, thus reducing down time and minimizing maintenance problems. More Technical Information on heat treatment and induction hardening can be found in Maintenance & Technical Information.
Through heat treating and induction hardening
Used individually or combined, the two types of heat treating Can-Am Chain can dramatically increase chain life.
IMPACT - Through heat treated chain (to the proper hardness) will improve impact strength two or three times.
STRENGTH - Heat treated sidebars will increased strength by 20-30%.
WEAR - In a non-abrasive environment heat treated chain will give up to 50% greater wear life. Reduction of elongation of side bar holes can be achieved by induction hardening the hole perimeter. In a non-abrasive environment, induction hardened chain will give several times greater wear life.

Can-am roller chains are made to our own very high standards, using steles especially selected for fatigue strength and exceptional long life
provides the power to perform because it has been engineered to exceed the industry’s highest standards. delivers leading edge solutions with over 100 years of advanced engineering knowledge and experience.
Some of the features and benefits of Precision Roller Chain include the following:
- Waisted Link Plates - The design of sizes 3/4" and larger reduces the bending stress in the link plate which increases the fatigue strength of the chain.
- Solid Rollers - utilizes solid rollers on all precision roller chains. The solid rollers allow for smooth rotation on the bushing, minimizing the impact load as the chain engages the sprocket tooth.
- Factory Preloading - precision roller chain is preloaded during assembly. Preloading the chain seats the chain components, which minimizes the initial elongation of the chain.
- Heat Treatment - Rigorous process controls and state of the art heat treating furnaces assure consistent quality in all chain components; this results in optimum toughness and resistance to wear.
- Pre-lubrication - After final assembly the roller chains are hot dipped in a special lubricant. This process assures that all the load bearing surfaces are protected from metal to metal contact, improving the wear life of the chain.
- Shot-Peened Parts - All precision chain rollers and link plates are shot-peened for greater fatigue strength.
