SENQCIA Inspire Series Freedom Series offset links are manufactured and are intended to be used without additional secondary lubrication. 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 Freedom Series 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.
