Browning 1297688 Connecting Link 35-2 Double Strand

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297688 is a connecting link designed for double strand roller chain with a 3/8 inch pitch, conforming to ANSI standard number 35-2. Connecting links serve as the removable master link that joins the two ends of a roller chain loop, allowing the chain to be assembled or removed without special tooling. This link is engineered to match the geometry of 35-2 double strand chain, with a roller diameter of 0.200 inches and a roller width of 0.187 inches. It is installed by licensed mechanical and industrial technicians, as well as maintenance professionals working on conveyor, drive, and power transmission systems.

This connecting link is suited for mechanical drive applications where double strand 35-2 roller chain is used. Typical install scenarios include conveyor systems, small machinery drives, and general industrial power transmission setups. It is appropriate for both light commercial and industrial applications where ANSI 35-2 chain is specified. Minimum order quantity is 5 units, sold in single-piece packages.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI 35-2 double strand roller chain with a 3/8 inch pitch. Verify chain pitch, strand count, and ANSI number before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or maintenance technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system completely before servicing any chain or sprocket assembly, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the connecting link clip or cotter pin is fully seated and oriented correctly per the direction of chain travel. Inspect the mating chain ends and sprocket teeth for wear before installing a new connecting link.
