When there's no off-the-shelf answer, we supply it: chain assembled and modified in-house, sprockets and gears machined to our specification from your drawing, matched and checked by us.
When a machine needs something that isn't in a catalogue, the usual answer is a compromise: a near-enough chain that wears fast, or a long wait on an OEM special at OEM prices.
We supply the exact part, assembled in our Malvern workshop, with sprockets and gears machined to your specification. You get the part you need, not the closest one, on a UK lead time.
To be clear about what happens in Malvern: we don't manufacture chain components. No forging, no plate stamping.The links themselves are made for us in our partners' ISO 9001:2015-certified factories. What our workshop does is turn those stocked components into your chain: inner and outer links assembled into working chain, cut to the exact pitch count, joined, attachments fitted and specials configured. You get a finished, checked chain built up for your machine, not a box of parts.
Chain, sprockets and gears, designed to work together as a matched drive.
Standard chain adapted, or a special configured from stocked components.
Cut, bored and hardened to suit the chain and the shaft.
Gears made to a drawing or reverse-engineered from a sample.
Send us what you have — we'll take it from there.
A drawing, a photo, a part number, or the worn chain or sprocket itself.
Our specialists confirm design, material, hardness and tolerances, and flag anything worth improving.
Chain assembled in Malvern; sprockets and gears machined by our trusted partners, then checked and matched by us before dispatch.
Checked, dispatched and repeatable. We hold the spec for your next order.
Whatever the chain family, the attachment or the material, the question we start from is the same: what does the application need?
We describe the application, not the customer. The machines our bespoke work goes into include:
Describe the part, the machine or the problem. A specialist will come back to you, usually the same day, and you can attach drawings or photos when we reply, or email them to info@merleychains.com.
If it drives, conveys or transmits, there's a good chance we can build or adapt it.
