Buying Guide: Roller Chain

Roller Chain Sizes
The roller chain is identified by chain number, including No. 35, No. 40, No. 50, No. 60 and No. 60H. Some chains are identified by pin diameter and pin length instead, such as 1/8 in. pin diameter with 1/2 in. pin length.

Offset Links
Offset links add a half link to a roller chain. The Tru-Pitch No. 60 heavy offset link is sold in a 2 pack.

Choosing the Right Chain
Match the chain number or the pin diameter and pin length on your old chain before ordering. Check your equipment manual for the chain specified by the manufacturer.
