U.s. Tsubaki 60SSCL Connecting Link 60SS 3/4 Inch Pitch

Product Description

The U.S. TSUBAKI 60SSCL is a stainless steel connecting link designed for use with 60SS single-strand roller chain at a 3/4 inch pitch. Connecting links join two ends of a roller chain run, enabling loop closure on drive and conveyor assemblies. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, washdown, and chemically aggressive environments where standard carbon steel chain hardware would degrade prematurely. This part conforms to ANSI standards for the No. 60 chain series, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other ANSI-compliant 60SS components. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and industrial mechanics install this type of hardware during chain replacement or drive reassembly.

This connecting link is suited for light-to-medium duty single-strand roller chain drive applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Typical installation environments include food processing equipment, marine machinery, chemical handling conveyors, and outdoor power transmission drives. The 3/4 inch pitch matches the 60SS chain trade size, making this link appropriate wherever 60SS chain is used in a single-strand configuration. It is sold as an individual link, one piece per package.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in washdown and chemical environments
• 3/4 inch pitch matches ANSI No. 60 single-strand chain dimensions
• Conforms to ANSI standards for No. 60 series roller chain
• Single-strand design for standard single-row chain drives
• Direct replacement connecting link for 60SS chain assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI No. 60 single-strand stainless steel roller chain (60SS trade size) at 3/4 inch pitch. Conforms to ANSI dimensional standards for No. 60 series chain connecting links.

Installation Notes

Connecting links are typically installed by millwrights or maintenance mechanics during drive chain replacement or repair. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive before opening or closing any chain link. Ensure the clip or cotter pin that retains the link plate is fully seated and oriented with the closed end facing the direction of chain travel. Follow applicable ANSI and equipment manufacturer guidelines for maximum allowable chain wear and replacement intervals.
