Browning 1298074 Offset Link 35-2 Double Strand Chain

Product Description

The BROWNING 1298074 is an offset link designed for use with double strand roller chain in the 35-2 chain series. This link allows technicians to connect or shorten a double strand chain run when a standard even-numbered link count is not possible. The 35-2 designation follows ANSI standards, with a pitch of 0.375 inches. Offset links are a common maintenance component in drive systems found in light industrial, agricultural, and mechanical power transmission applications. Installation is straightforward but requires the correct chain series match to maintain drive integrity and load capacity.

This offset link is suited for double strand 35-2 roller chain assemblies in low-speed to moderate-speed drive applications. Typical installations include conveyor drives, small equipment drives, and power transmission setups where 35-2 double strand chain is the specified drive chain. Because offset links introduce a slight asymmetry into the chain loop, they are best used where the drive design permits their use and where the manufacturer or original equipment specification allows an offset connection point.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for 35-2 double strand roller chain
• ANSI-standard pitch of 0.375 inches ensures dimensional conformance
• Offset link configuration allows chain connection without removing a full link
• Sold individually, suitable for single-unit replacement needs
• Conforms to ANSI chain standards for interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement offset link for ANSI 35-2 double strand roller chain assemblies conforming to standard 35-2 chain specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with roller chain drive systems. Always de-energize and lock out the drive before servicing the chain. Use a chain breaker tool appropriate for 35-2 series chain and verify that the offset link is fully seated and the retaining clip or cotter pin is properly secured before returning the drive to service. Note that offset links may reduce the overall rated working load of the chain loop compared to a standard connecting link on some drive applications.
