Browning 1297704 Double Strand 50 Chain Connecting Link

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297704 is a steel connecting link designed for double strand roller chain with a 5/8 inch pitch and ANSI number 50-2. It provides a removable, field-serviceable joint for joining or repairing double strand chain runs. The link attaches via a pin-style closure and is built to ANSI standards for dimensional consistency. With a roller diameter of 0.400 inches and a roller width of 0.375 inches, the link matches the geometry of standard 50-2 chain. Typical installers include industrial maintenance technicians, conveyor system mechanics, and equipment service professionals who work with chain-driven machinery.

This connecting link is suited for use in industrial drive and conveyor applications where double strand ANSI 50-2 roller chain is specified. Common install scenarios include agricultural equipment, material handling conveyors, light industrial drives, and general power transmission systems that require periodic chain removal or replacement. The pin-style attachment allows the link to be installed and removed with standard hand tools without cutting the chain.
