Husqvarna Chains & Bars for chainsaws
Use chains and guide bars to match the chainsaw cutting system to the job and the saw. Bar length is only one part of compatibility: pitch, gauge, drive-link count and bar mount must all agree.

What do the markings on the guide bar mean?
Buying a new saw chain? Read the markings on the bar and check the pitch, gauge and number of drive links. Here is what each specification means.
Simplified example. Markings and their position vary between bars.
Select a marking to learn more.
Bar length · 14″ / 35 cm
How long is the guide bar?
Length is often stated in both inches and centimetres. It refers to the nominal cutting length of the fitted bar, not the total length of the removed bar.
Remember: Do not choose a chain by bar length alone. Two chains for 14-inch bars can have different numbers of drive links.
Pitch · .325″ mini
Which chain pitch do you need?
Pitch describes the spacing of the chain’s rivets. Measure from the centre of the first rivet to the centre of the third, then divide that distance by two.
Remember: Read the full designation, including terms such as mini. The chain must be the correct type for the bar and the saw’s drive sprocket.
Gauge · 1.1 mm / .043″
How thick should the drive links be?
The bar groove width must match the thickness of the chain’s drive links, known as the gauge. 1.1 mm and .043 inch are two ways of specifying the same nominal size.
Remember: This is not the file diameter. Use the gauge to select the chain, not the round file.
Drive links · 59 DL
How many drive links do you need?
DL stands for drive links. These are the lower parts of the chain that run in the bar groove. In this example, the chain needs 59 drive links.
Remember: Count the drive links, not the cutting teeth. The drive link count and pitch together determine the chain’s length.
Three specifications to match when choosing a chain
The correct pitch and chain type, gauge and drive link count. Also check the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure the chain is approved for your saw and bar.
Can’t read the markings?
Send us a photo of the bar and the saw’s identification plate. If possible, include the bar’s part number or the old chain packaging. The model name alone may not be enough if the bar has been replaced.
The bar’s part number can help identify it. It is not the same as the chain’s part number.
Replacing the bar itself? The bar mount and recommended bar length must also suit your chainsaw.

Identify the existing cutting system
Read the markings on the bar and chain and compare them with the saw manual. Do not select a chain from the saw name alone when several bar lengths or mounts exist for the same family.
Keep the system working together
Use the specified chain tension, ensure lubrication reaches the bar, and replace damaged components. A new chain on a badly worn bar or sprocket can still run poorly.
Check before you buy
Use the full saw model and product number, then verify every dimension in the product description. Wear suitable protective equipment and disconnect the power source before fitting or maintaining the cutting system.
