The DIN 5685 standard defines the requirements for round steel link chains that are not tested for lifting purposes but are essential for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. These chains are categorized into two primary forms: Form A (Short Link) and Form C (Long Link).
In today's global market, the demand for DIN5685 chains has surged due to their versatility in agriculture, DIY hardware, marine secondary systems, and industrial securing applications. As a leading China DIN5685 Short/Long Link Chain Supplier, we recognize that procurement managers in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia are increasingly looking for a balance between tensile strength and cost-efficiency.
Current industrial trends show a move towards Stainless Steel DIN5685 chains (AISI 304/316) for their superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Whether it's for animal tethering, barrier creation, or general utility, the global supply chain relies on Chinese manufacturing for high-volume, high-quality production.
Optimized for flexibility and high density. Short link chains provide better wrapping around pulleys and drums, making them ideal for security barriers and decorative hardware where a compact look is required.
Designed for easy attachment. The elongated link allows for hooks and shackles to be easily inserted at any point, making them the preferred choice for agricultural fences and marine mooring lines.
Our factory utilizes premium carbon steel and stainless steel alloys. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for pitch accuracy and weld strength, ensuring reliability in every meter supplied.
Founded in 1999, Shanghai Mei Shen Industrial Co., Ltd. is a premier integrated manufacturer of research, production, and high-end services. We are dedicated to the manufacturing of steel wire ropes and link chains, providing the global market with the most reliable industrial rigging products.

Our production base in Jiangsu Province spans across massive facilities, specializing in stainless steel wire ropes, galvanized ropes, and specialized hardware rigging like the DIN 5685 link chains. Our products are widely used in construction machinery, bridge building, and ocean engineering.
The industry is moving towards G100 and G120 grade alloys, even for non-tested utility chains like DIN 5685, to reduce weight while maintaining strength. Our R&D team is constantly testing new zinc-plating techniques to extend lifespan by up to 300% compared to traditional galvanization.
Procurement is no longer just about price. It's about data. As a leading China Link Chain Supplier, we offer full traceability from raw material ingots to final link welding, meeting the transparency needs of global corporations.
In applications such as offshore wind farms and solar panel securing systems, DIN 5685 chains are used for peripheral hardware. Our factory is investing in electric furnace technology to reduce the carbon footprint of our chain production lines.
We understand the localized needs of different regions—from the specific Metric/Imperial preferences in the UK to the high-demand Hot Dip Galvanized requirements in humid Southeast Asian markets.
Our massive production capacity allows us to offer OEM services. Whether you need custom link lengths, specialized surface treatments (Powder Coating, Black Oxide), or private labeling, we deliver.
By optimizing our supply chain and locating our plant in the heart of China's industrial hub, we offer competitive pricing without compromising on the DIN 5685 standards.
Our engineers are ready to help you choose between Form A and Form C DIN 5685 chains for your specific project.
