Metric Roller Chain and Links
This chain conforms to ISO 606B and is compatible with BS 228 (British standard) and DIN 8187 (German standard).
Connecting links are also known as master links. They're used to join the ends of a chain length. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to a chain. Adding-and-connecting links are also known as half links and offset links. They can join chain that requires an odd number of links. For trade size 04B and 05B, an additional connecting link is required to join them to chain. For trade size 06B and up, the side plate is easy to remove for attaching them to chain.

Hollow-Pin Metric Roller Chain and Links



Connect attachments to this metric chain without disassembling it. In addition to letting you add attachments with extension pins or rods for conveyance or elevation applications, the hollow pins on this chain weigh less than standard pins. Made of steel, this chain resists wear and handles higher loads than stainless steel chain. It conforms to ISO 606B and is compatible with BS 228, a British standard, and DIN 8187, a German standard.
Connecting links are known as master links. They're used to join the ends of a chain length. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to a chain.
