0218201601 - ESAB 0218201601 Replacement Chain Link 3/8

Keep Your ESAB Tractor Moving Smoothly

When your automatic welding tractor is down, production stops. The ESAB Chain Link 3/8 5.72 (0218201601) is the exact part you need to repair the drive chain on your ESAB automation equipment and get back to laying down perfect beads. We know that in the field or on the shop floor, you don't have time to mess around with generic parts that might not fit or will wear out in a week. This is a genuine ESAB part, built to the same tough standards as the machine itself.

Your welding tractor's travel speed is one of the most important variables in getting a consistent weld. If your chain is skipping, binding, or broken, your travel speed fluctuates, leading to inconsistent heat input, ugly ripples, or even burn-through. Swapping out damaged links with this authentic replacement restores the smooth, steady movement your machine was designed for. It’s a small part that plays a huge role in the quality of your work. Whether you are running an A2 Multitrac or another ESAB system that utilizes this 3/8" chain configuration, this link is designed to drop right in.

Don't let a broken chain link turn into a whole day of lost work. Keeping a few of these 0218201601 links in your toolbox or maintenance locker is a smart move for any shop running ESAB automation. They are made from durable steel to handle the grit, dust, and heavy loads of a welding environment. Installation is standard for chain systems, allowing you to repair a section without necessarily replacing the entire loop if the rest is in good condition.

Trust in OEM quality to protect your investment. Using the correct chain link prevents premature wear on your sprockets and gears, saving you from more expensive repairs down the line. Get your ESAB equipment running like new again with the right parts, right when you need them.
