Browning 1297803 Connecting Link 50-3 Triple Strand

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297803 is a steel connecting link designed for use with ANSI 50-3 triple strand roller chain. It provides a removable, field-serviceable joint that allows technicians to close or open a chain loop without specialty tooling. Carrying ANSI Number 50-3, the link features a 5/8 inch pitch, a 0.200 inch pin diameter, and a 0.400 inch roller diameter. It is installed using a slip-fit pin and clip attachment. At 0.09 pounds, it is a compact component suited to industrial and mechanical power-transmission applications where triple strand No. 50 chain is specified.

This connecting link is used wherever ANSI 50-3 triple strand roller chain drives are installed. Typical applications include industrial conveyor systems, drive assemblies on HVAC and refrigeration equipment, agricultural machinery, and general power-transmission setups that require periodic chain removal for maintenance or inspection. The pin attachment style makes this link appropriate for moderate-duty drive systems where the chain must be disconnected and reconnected in the field.

Installation Notes

Connecting links on roller chain drives are typically serviced by qualified mechanical or millwright technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before opening or closing a chain loop. Ensure the slip-fit pin is fully seated and the retaining clip is secured in its groove before returning the drive to service. Refer to ANSI B29.1 chain standards and applicable equipment service documentation for drive alignment and tensioning guidance.
