U.s. Tsubaki RS10BOL Roller Chain Offset Link 5/8 in Pitch

Product Description

The U.S. TSUBAKI RS10BOL is a roller chain offset link designed for use with British Standard single strand roller chain at a 5/8 inch (0.6250 inch decimal) pitch, conforming to ISO 10B specifications. Constructed from carbon steel, this connecting link allows technicians to join or shorten a length of British Standard roller chain without requiring a chain breaker press. It is a standard consumable used in industrial drive and conveyor applications where 10B-series chain is specified. The compact form factor and carbon steel construction provide reliable tensile performance in typical industrial service conditions.

This offset link is suited for light-to-medium duty industrial drive systems, conveyor assemblies, and agricultural equipment that run ISO 10B British Standard single strand roller chain. It is commonly installed during chain repair, chain shortening, or initial drive assembly on equipment designed around the British Standard pitch series. Maintenance technicians and millwrights working on imported machinery or equipment specified to British Standard chain dimensions will encounter this link as a routine replacement component.

Key Features

• Conforms to ISO 10B British Standard for direct drop-in compatibility with 10B single strand roller chain
• 5/8 inch (0.6250 inch) pitch matches standard B-series chain dimensions
• Carbon steel construction provides solid tensile strength for general industrial drive applications
• Offset (half-link) design allows chain length adjustment without a full inner/outer link pair
• Compact dimensions: 1.19 inches length, 0.57 inches width, 0.81 inches height

Compatibility

Designed for use with British Standard single strand roller chain at 5/8 inch pitch, ISO Number 10B. Suitable as a replacement or repair link for any 10B-series single strand roller chain application.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system before working on any chain drive assembly, following LOTO procedures in accordance with applicable safety standards. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned after link installation per the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Do not exceed the rated working load of the chain or link during service.
