Product Description

The BROWNING 1297738 is a steel connecting link designed for double strand roller chain with a 1-inch pitch. It meets ANSI standards and fits ANSI number 80-2 chain. The link uses a pin-style attachment and is constructed from steel for durability in industrial drive applications. Roller diameter is 0.625 inches and roller width is 0.625 inches, with a pin diameter of 0.312 inches. This type of connecting link allows technicians to join or close a length of roller chain without specialized tooling, making it a standard service component in mechanical power transmission systems.

This connecting link is used in industrial and commercial applications wherever ANSI 80-2 double strand roller chain is specified. Typical installations include conveyor drives, agricultural equipment, manufacturing machinery, and other mechanical power transmission setups. It is sized for 80 chain with a 1-inch pitch and double strand configuration, making it a direct fit for systems built to ANSI roller chain standards. Licensed maintenance technicians and millwrights commonly install and replace these links during chain service or repair.
