SENQCIA Ultra-Max Chrome Plated Pin offset Links are manufactured to a special high performance specification. They offer premium performance and long life in a wide variety of applications. Chrome plating provides an ultra-hard wear surface that performs better in abrasive conditions or applications where lubrication is not possible. Offset links are supplied with “flatted” connecting pins and a split cotter for ease of assembly in the field. These special purpose links allow the user to make an endless strand of roller chain from an odd number of pitches. They are also used to reduce the length of a strand by one pitch when normal chain elongation has created excess catenary sag on a roller chain drive. Care however should be taken as the offset link has significantly less load carrying capacity than the base chain itself. Each offset link is individually packaged in a sealed plastic bag.
