    D-3 Attachment

    Skip the hassle of adding attachment links, this chain arrives with them already installed. No disassembly required, just pick your length and get moving. Use this chain to mount brackets and guides, move items directly, or trip switches with tabs or pins 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.
    Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication.
    Steel—The go-to for roller chain, steel is strong and economical. While proper lubrication helps prevent rusting, it’s not as corrosion resistant as coated or stainless steel.
    Pin—The pins are extended to trip switches.
    Connecting Link—Use a single link to join both ends of your chain. Start by removing the spring clip or cotter pin from the link’s side plate. Then, slide the link pins into the mating rollers at each end of your chain and snap the clip back on. Also known as master links.
    Adding Link—Attach with a connecting link to extend the length of your chain. Each link adds a length equal to the chain’s pitch. Also known as roller links.

    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.
    Steel—The go-to for roller chain, steel is strong and economical. While proper lubrication helps prevent rusting, it’s not as corrosion resistant as coated or stainless steel.
    Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—Combines the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to withstand 500 hours of salt spray, so it holds up well in wet and outdoor conditions.
    Connecting Link—Use a single link to join both ends of your chain. Start by removing the spring clip or cotter pin from the link’s side plate. Then, slide the link pins into the mating rollers at each end of your chain and snap the clip back on. Also known as master links.
    Pin—The pins are extended to trip switches.
