Browning 1298090 Offset Link 50-2 Double Strand Chain

Product Description

The BROWNING 1298090 is a steel offset link designed for use with double strand roller chain in ANSI 50-2 configurations. Offset links allow technicians to connect or shorten a chain run when an even number of links is not available, making them a practical component in drive system maintenance and assembly. This link features a 5/8 inch pitch and a pin attachment type, meeting ANSI standards for dimensional consistency. It is suited for mechanical power transmission applications in industrial and commercial equipment. Installation is typically handled by maintenance technicians and millwrights working on conveyor, drive, or sprocket systems.

This offset link is intended for double strand roller chain with a chain trade size of 50 and a 5/8 inch pitch. It is commonly used in agricultural equipment, material handling conveyors, industrial machinery drives, and similar power transmission setups where ANSI 50-2 double strand chain is specified. The pin attachment type is standard for this chain class and integrates directly into existing chain runs without special tooling beyond a chain breaker or press.

Key Features

• ANSI 50-2 compliant offset link for double strand roller chain
• 5/8 inch pitch matches standard 50-series chain dimensions
• Steel construction for durability in power transmission applications
• Pin attachment type for straightforward field installation
• 0.400 inch roller diameter and 0.375 inch roller width for proper chain engagement
• 0.200 inch pin diameter consistent with ANSI 50 chain specification

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI 50-2 double strand roller chain with a 5/8 inch pitch. Compatible with any standard ANSI 50-2 chain run requiring an offset link for connection or length adjustment.

Installation Notes

Offset links are installed by maintenance technicians and millwrights during chain drive assembly or repair. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before servicing the chain. A chain breaker tool is recommended for proper pin seating and removal. Inspect the surrounding chain links and sprocket teeth for wear before installing a new offset link, as worn components reduce the service life of the new link.
