They are listed separately in order to make the selection easier.

Their application range is the same as the ''European Series''

Chains but they offer the advantages of a higher fatigue resistance due to their design characteristics.

Because of these properties the ''American Series '' chains (ANSI) are widely used also in Europe .

The ''American Series'' chains are usually available with 1,2,3,4, roller strands but on request they can be supplied with multiple strands (see photograph)
