Browning 1298116 Offset Link 80 Chain 1 Inch Pitch

Product Description

The BROWNING 1298116 is a steel offset link designed for use with double strand roller chain in size 80 applications. An offset link — also called a half link — allows chain length adjustment when an even number of pitches cannot be achieved with standard connecting links. This link features a 1 inch pitch, a roller diameter of 0.625 inches, and a pin diameter of 0.312 inches. It is installed by licensed mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on industrial drive systems, conveyor equipment, and power transmission assemblies. The pin attachment type ensures secure retention consistent with ANSI chain standards.

This offset link is suited for double strand size 80 roller chain installations in industrial and commercial settings. Typical applications include conveyor drive systems, agricultural machinery, manufacturing equipment, and general power transmission setups where chain length must be precisely adjusted. The steel construction provides durability under the load and wear conditions common to size 80 chain drives. This link conforms to ANSI standards, making it appropriate for any ANSI-compliant size 80-2 double strand chain system.

Key Features

• Offset link design enables chain length adjustment on double strand size 80 roller chain
• 1 inch pitch matches ANSI 80-2 double strand chain specification
• Steel construction for strength and wear resistance in industrial drive applications
• Pin attachment type provides secure, reliable connection
• Roller diameter of 0.625 inches and roller width of 0.625 inches for proper chain engagement
• Meets ANSI standards for roller chain components

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI 80-2 double strand roller chain with a 1 inch pitch. Suitable for any standard ANSI size 80 double strand chain drive system requiring an offset link for length adjustment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing chain components, following applicable LOTO procedures. Use the proper chain assembly and disassembly tools to seat the pin and retain the link without distorting the side plates. Verify that the offset link pitch and strand count match the existing chain before installation.
