The 40.SS Single Crank Link For Stainless Steel Chain (offset half-link) allows precision single-pitch (12.70 mm (0.500 in / 1/2″)) length adjustments on ANSI 40 Stainless Steel Single Strand (Simplex) Roller Chains. Built from corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel in compliance with ANSI B29.1 / ASME B29.1M / ISO 606 (08A-SS), it provides the ideal solution for fixed center-distance conveyors requiring fine chain tensioning.
Key Technical Specifications & Advantages
- Precision Chain Tensioning: Enables adding or subtracting an odd number of pitches (12.70 mm (0.500 in / 1/2″)) to eliminate chain slack on fixed center conveyors where take-up frames cannot be installed.
- All-Stainless Steel Construction: Formed entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel side plates, hardened pin, and fastener clip.
- Hygienic & Corrosion Proof: Fully resistant to corrosion, oxidation, and chemical washdowns across pharmaceutical and food handling environments.
- Matched Dimensions: Precision formed to 12.70 mm (0.500 in / 1/2″) pitch, 7.85 mm (0.312 in / 5/16″) inner width, and 7.92 mm (0.312 in / 5/16″) roller/bushing diameter.
Operating Recommendation
Recommended for intermediate tension adjustments in food conveyor, packaging line, and washdown environments.
