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.

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.

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.
