Tritan 08B-1 Osl Offset Link 1/2 Inch Pitch Single Strand

Product Description

The TRITAN 08B-1 OSL is a single-strand offset link designed to connect or repair 08B-1 roller chain with a 1/2 inch pitch. Also called a half link, the offset link allows technicians to shorten a chain or close a run without requiring an even number of links. Constructed from carbon steel, this link uses a pin attachment type and meets ANSI B29.1 standards. It is a common maintenance component in industrial, agricultural, and mechanical power-transmission systems where 08B-1 chain is in service.

This offset link is used wherever 08B single-strand roller chain is installed, including conveyor drives, agricultural equipment, light industrial machinery, and general-purpose power-transmission assemblies. The 1/2 inch pitch matches the ISO 08B chain standard. Maintenance technicians and millwrights install this link during chain repair or length adjustment work on equipment that uses this chain size. It ships as a single link per package unit.

Installation Notes

Offset links are typically installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians using a chain breaker tool and connecting clip or press-fit pin tool appropriate for the chain size. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before working on any chain assembly. Inspect the surrounding chain links for wear or damage before installing a new offset link. Offset links are generally considered a service component and should be replaced rather than reused once removed.
