Browning 1297985 Offset Link 40 Chain 1/2 Inch Pitch

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297985 is a steel offset link designed for use with single strand roller chain in ANSI No. 40 applications. With a 0.5 inch pitch, this link provides a reliable method for achieving an odd number of links in a chain assembly without compromising drive integrity. The pin attachment type and precision-machined dimensions ensure proper engagement with standard 40 chain sprockets. This component is typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical service professionals working on power transmission systems.

This offset link is suited for light-to-medium duty roller chain drive applications found in industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, conveyor systems, and general power transmission setups. It is designed for use with ANSI No. 40 single strand chain and is appropriate for situations where chain length adjustment is required in the field or during assembly. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.
