Add these links to your roller chain to attach brackets and guides, move items directly, or trip switches in conveying, timing, and aligning setups. Like the chain on a bike, the side plates have a figure-eight shape that grips sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts without slipping. We offer compatible chain for your convenience. When using your own chain, make sure the trade numbers match. Do not use these links with our Low-Maintenance Roller Chain.

Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication.

Say goodbye to messy grease and time-consuming maintenance. This chain has plastic bearings that run smoothly without lubrication. Paired with stainless steel pins and side plates, it’s lightweight, quiet-running, and resistant to mild chemicals. The chain withstands starts and stops better than all-plastic chain, but it handles only a fraction of the load of all-metal chain. Like the chain on a bike, the side plates have a figure-eight shape that grips sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts without slipping.

Thanks to extra space between components, this chain flexes side to side to take on misaligned sprockets or curved conveyor paths. Like the chain on a bike, the side plates have a figure-eight shape that grips sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts without slipping. Also known as bow chain.

Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication.

Place these steel inserts between two roller links. If they can be inserted past your ANSI number, the chain is worn out.

Drive out chain pins with a twist of the handle. Breakers allow you to disassemble chain in order to remove or add links.

Tighten the hex head screw with a wrench to remove chain pins without damaging side plates. Breakers allow you to disassemble chain in order to remove or add links.

Push both chain pins out of your roller chain with the pull of a handle. These chain breakers make it easy to disassemble your chain to add or remove links. Since they mount to a work surface, they give you extra leverage and are convenient for frequent jobs.

These pullers grip both ends of a roller chain and draw them together so you can add or remove a link without fighting chain tension. They eliminate the need for a second person to hold chain ends in alignment, making field repairs and resizing faster.

Mount these tensioners directly onto your chain drive. They have adjustable straps that take up slack and apply constant tension. Because they engage with the side plates instead of the rollers, they increase the life of your roller chain.

Also known as captured guides, deep-channel guides prevent chain from slipping off track. Use them to minimize friction, reduce noise, and prolong the life of your roller chain. They can be cut to the exact length you need.

Install these rings between strands of chain to absorb slack without the need for realignment, lubrication, or tools—good for use in confined spaces where maintenance may be difficult.

Built-in springs put constant tension on roller chain to absorb and buffer shock, reduce vibration, and improve drive performance.

At less than 4" in height, these tensioners are good for use on low-clearance drives. Built-in springs put constant tension on roller chain to absorb and buffer shock, reduce vibration, and improve drive performance.

Able to fit in tight spots, these tensioners are less than 3" tall. Built-in springs put constant tension on roller chain to absorb and buffer shock, reduce vibration, and improve drive performance.
