    Pair this chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts. Like the chain on a bike, the side plates have a figure-eight shape that grips the sprockets 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.
    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.
    Corrosion-Resistant 304 Stainless Steel—Won't corrode from frequent washdowns and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion resistant roller chain won’t degrade when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals.
    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.
    Adding-and-Connecting Link—An all-in-one link for adding and connecting. It adds a half-pitch length at the roller end, allowing finer length adjustments than full-pitch links. The pin end connects to your chain—except for trade number 25, which requires a separate connecting link. Remove the side plate to install. Also known as half links and offset 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.

    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.
    Pin—The pins are extended to trip switches.
    Tab—The tabs have holes to mount parts and hang hooks.

    Forget the mess and the stress, this chain has bearings that run reliably with little or no need for lubrication. 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.
    Oil-Embedded Open Bearings—Made from porous bronze saturated with oil, these bearings don’t require lubrication.
    Sealed Bearings—These bearings come with seals to retain the grease you add and reduce the need for additional lubrication. They also keep grease off your equipment and prevent dirt from sticking to the chain.
    Steel—The go-to for roller chain, steel is strong and economical. It’s best for dry environments since moisture will cause it to rust.
    Corrosion-Resistant Nickel-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the nickel plating adds a layer of rust protection in wet environments. However, if scratched, the underlying steel may still rust. The plating may also hinder welding.
    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-and-Connecting Link—An all-in-one link for adding and connecting. It adds a half-pitch length at the roller end, allowing finer length adjustments than full-pitch links. The pin end connects to your chain. Remove the side plate to install. Also known as half links and offset links.

    Slide rods or other attachments straight through the rollers. With hollow pins, there’s no need to take this chain apart or add attachment links like you would with standard roller chain. Pair the chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts. It’s commonly used in conveying applications.
    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.

    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.
    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.

    No more hang-ups thanks to the flat, oblong side plates that create a level surface to keep items moving along conveyor lines. Unlike standard roller chain, there are no divots to snag products. Pair this chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts.

    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.

    Snap this chain together without links, tools, or headaches. Made of plastic, it’s lightweight, quiet-running, and resistant to mild chemicals. It also runs smoothly without lubrication. However, 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.

    Floating Roller Chain Tensioners

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains MultipleImages. Chain and Belt Tensioners. Floating Roller Chain Tensioners.
    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.
    UHMW Polyethylene—UHMW polyethylene tensioners are stronger and more durable than PTFE tensioners.
    PTFE—PTFE tensioners handle temperatures up to 450° F, more than twice as high as UHMW and titanium models.
    Titanium—Titanium tensioners stand up to harsh and dirty environments. They're stronger and more durable than plastic tensioners. And with a low coefficient of friction, they work with chain that has little or no lubrication.

    High-Accuracy Roller Chain Wear-Indicating Gauges

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Chain Wear Gauges. High-Accuracy Roller Chain Wear-Indicating Gauges.
    Precisely measure chain elongation to see if you need to replace your chain. These gauges give a more accurate reading than alternatives because they’re designed to anchor to a roller and extend across several links. A color indicator helps you quickly measure the space between rollers. If the gauge rests on top of the chain and you see green markings, your chain doesn't need to be replaced. If it slips between two rollers and you only see red markings, it’s time for a replacement.

    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.
    Flanged Frame—Guides with flanged frame allow easy mounting. Stainless steel frames are more corrosion resistant than steel frames.
