    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.
    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.

    Minimize shock loads—the thick side plates on this chain absorb jolts from motor startups, emergency braking, and sudden reversing. 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.

    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.
    Steel with Through-Hardened Pins—Even stronger than standard steel chain, the pins in this chain are treated to withstand the most extreme shock loads.
    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 flat-edge roller chain to attach brackets and guides or move items directly in conveying, timing, and aligning setups. The flat, oblong side plates create a level surface that keeps items moving along conveyor lines. Unlike standard attachment links, there are no divots to snag or hang up products. We offer compatible flat-edge chain for your convenience. When using your own chain, make sure the trade numbers match.
    Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication.
    Double Pitch—This chain has links that are twice as long as those on a single-pitch chain, making it lighter in weight and more energy-efficient over long drives. However, it operates at slower speeds. Use it with standard sprockets that have at least 24 teeth.
    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.
    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.
    Tab—The tabs have holes to mount parts and hang hooks.
    C2060H and C2080H—Best for minimizing shock loads from abrupt starts and stops. The thick side plates on this chain absorb jolts from motor startups, emergency braking, and sudden reversing.

    Debris falls through this chain, so it doesn’t jam the rollers and bring everything to a halt. Originally designed to move lumber while letting splinters and sawdust drop to the floor, this chain has the largest roller spacing in our offering. Flat, oblong side plates create a level surface that keeps items moving along conveyor lines with no hang-ups. Unlike standard roller chain, there are no divots to snag products. Pair this chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts.
