Industrial Roller Chain Built for Performance
Renold designs and manufactures high-performance transmission chains that focus on the key areas of wear resistance and fatigue resistance.
Our industrial roller chain uses case-hardened, centreless-ground pins and precision-controlled heat treatment across every component. The result is a chain that holds its pitch accuracy longer, resists elongation, and runs quieter over its working life.
For a standard drive chain that combines a wide waisted plate shape for extra fatigue resistance with an end-softened spin-riveted pin for easy installation, view our range of Standard Chains.
If you’re searching for roller chain suppliers near you in New Zealand, Renold’s Auckland-based facility at Rosebank Road in Avondale holds stock for same-day dispatch on popular sizes from 3/8" to 1-1/2" pitch.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Chain for Every Environment
Behind every conceivable industry and application environment, heavy or light duty, indoor or outdoor, clean or contaminated, high or low temperature, Renold is hard at work delivering performance and increasing productivity.
Renold also offers a range of chains designed to tackle the challenges of corrosion, abrasion, lack of lubrication and shock loadings. In these situations, Synergy, Syno, Sovereign and Hydro-service can deliver a significantly longer working life than a standard chain. This range helps you to pick the right chain for the job.
Renold also offers many adapted and special products for thousands of industrial transmission chain applications, including;
- Small and large pitch (4mm up to 4 inches) chain
- Adapted Transmission Chain
- Hollow bearing pin chain
- Nickel Plated Chain
- Zinc Plated Chain
- Extended pitch chain
- Sidebow chain
- Cranked link chain
- Bush chain
- Oilfield Chain
Our stainless steel roller chain and specialty coated options—including zinc-plated and nickel-painted chain—give maintenance engineers real choices when specifying for aggressive New Zealand operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Renold different from other chain manufacturers?
Renold is one of the few global roller chain manufacturers that designs and produces its own chain in-house across 14 factories worldwide.
Our chain uses proprietary heat treatment, case-hardened pins and precision ball-drifted bushes—processes that directly improve wear resistance and fatigue life compared to standard imported chain.
Which Renold chain is best for corrosive or wet environments?
For moderate corrosion, our Hydro-service chain offers the strength of carbon steel with superior corrosion resistance. For full washdown or chemically aggressive environments, stainless steel roller chain is the best option. Zinc and nickel-plated chain offers cost-effective corrosion protection for lighter exposure.
Can I get a heavy-duty industrial chain for mining or forestry applications?
Absolutely—Renold manufactures industrial chain in pitches from 4mm to 4 inches, along with oilfield chain, cranked link chain, and custom-adapted specifications for high-load, high-impact applications across mining, forestry, and quarrying.
Looking for Something Else?
Beyond roller chain, Renold is one of New Zealand's leading industrial chain suppliers—manufacturing industrial conveyor chain, chain gears and sprockets, and a full torque transmission range. As an established gearbox manufacturer, we also produce worm gearbox units and other drive components from our Auckland facility.
