Description
About S52 Agricultural Chain
S52 is a steel agricultural roller chain from the [DIN 8189 S-type agricultural chains] — the European standard range found on balers and combines. S-type steel agricultural chains use solid pre-stretched rollers, are heat-treated, and interchange with the same size from other brands. Inside that family, S52 is the general-purpose size that turns up most often on European farms. It is wide-bodied, so identifying a used one starts with the width between the inner plates — the same pitch is also made in a narrower S51 and in further variants. That one measurement usually settles which chain you need.

S52 vs Other S-Type Agricultural Chain Sizes
S52 shares its pitch with the narrower S51 agricultural roller chain, so the two look alike until you measure the inner width. S45 uses the same inner width and roller as S52 but has a longer pitch, so it will not run on the same sprocket. S52F10 and S52L share the same pitch but differ in roller, plate, and strength, making this a specification question rather than a drop-in swap. Read the four values below first, then confirm against the full dimension list above.
| Chain Size | Pitch | Inner Width | Min. Tensile Strength |
| S52 | 38.10 mm | 22.23 mm | 18.00 kN |
| S51 | 38.10 mm | 16.00 mm | 28.00 kN |
| S45 | 41.40 mm | 22.23 mm | 18.00 kN |
S52F10 | 38.10 mm | 22.00 mm | 23.50 kN |
S52L | 38.10 mm | 16.40 mm | 29.20 kN |
Attachments and Custom Assemblies
S52 can be supplied with standard agricultural attachments — A1, K1, SA1, SK1, and similar — fitted at the spacing your machine needs. We build finished chains to a total link count or to your drawing, and we also work from a worn sample: send the old chain or its measurements, and we match pitch, width, roller, and attachment layout. See our roller chains with attachments range for the available styles, or read the short guide to roller chain attachments if you are unsure which one fits.
Where S52 Roller Chains Are Used
S52 agricultural chain suits the feeding, conveying, and elevating duties that run all day on agricultural machinery:
✔ Square and round balers — pickup and bale chamber drives
✔ Combine harvesters — feeder house and header conveying sections
✔ Silage and forage machinery — cutting and feed-out lines
✔ Grain conveying and elevating equipment, with dusty, wet, or abrasive loads
Tell us the machine model and the chain you are replacing, and we will confirm the size against your sample.
