The WH82 chain is one of the most popular sizes of Engineer Class Chain in the market. This is widely due to its effectively productive offset link design. With an ultra-high tensile strength of 36,000 lbs at a low per foot weight of 4.8 lbs, this chain makes an excellent and efficient use in whichever application it is used in. What makes our WH82 chain different is the fully heat treated pins, barrels, side-plates, and high-precision strengthened welds. We also use high-grade steel so the core of the components has great metallurgy. Common applications for WH82 welded steel chain include heavy-duty conveyors, forestry, grain handling, pulp, paper, and sugar processing. This chain is supplied as 10' coils (39 link strands) and is supplied with one heat-treated connecting pin per coil.
WH82 vs WR82 ChainWR82 and WH82 chain directly interchange with each other dimensionally and are both equally as popular. However, when taking a closer look there are differences. WR82 does not implement fully heat-treated components, thus it has a much quicker wear life and a lower tensile strength rating. Because of this we primarily recommend WH82 chain and supply it at no additional cost!
WR82 strength: 32,000 LBS vs
WH82 Strength: 36,000 LBSMade in USA WH82 ChainsSomething that really sets USA Roller Chain and Sprockets apart from other suppliers in the industry is our lineup of domestically manufactured chains. We supply a Made in USA WH82 chain for almost the same price as an import chain, the benefit of domestic welded steel chains boils down to the metallurgy and workmanship/ quality control. Domestic steel has better properties than import and US workers ensure the chain is up to quality standards and is ready for install. Though working loads and tensile strengths are the same with a domestic chain, the metallurgy that domestic materials support will provide an overall better working life in the long-run.

WH82 Chain Attachments
WH82 attachments can be supplied onto the chain in any spacing/ configuration needed.
Standard Attachments:Non-Standard Attachments:
Pusher Attachment - These are used in trimmer applications, steel mills, and applications for pushing heavy or large products.
Flat Bar - These attachments are offered as just a standard steel flat plates/ flights or with UHMW or press-fitted steel tube. The UHMW flights act as the wear strip in the bottom of a conveyor.
HSS Square Tube - These are easily replaceable UHMW or steel tube sleeves that reduce wear, maintenance cost, power consumption, and reduce noise.
Non-standard attachments are made per requested dimensions from the customer.
We realize that some applications require a stronger chain than the "standard" type. Because of this, we also stock WH82XHD Extra Heavy Duty welded steel mill chain with a tensile strength of 57,000 lbs (21,000 lbs above WH82). It implements extreme-strength thickened side plates and will run on standard existing sprockets. WH82XHD is also available with attachments but please note that most attachments will need to be fabricated and will have a 1-2 week standard lead-time (unless expedited).
