    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.
    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.

    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.
    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.
    Corrosion-Resistant 304 Stainless Steel—Won't corrode from frequent washdowns and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions.
    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.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Guide

    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.
