Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the connecting link 12B-1 fit?

The 12B-1 roller chain according to DIN 8187 / ISO 606, which has a pitch of 19.05 mm (3/4"), a roller of 12.07 mm and an inner width of 11.68 mm. If your chain has these dimensions, the matching product in the Ozdowski range is: straight link (connecting link) 12B-1, pitch 19.05 mm (3/4"), L=21 mm, C45 steel.

How do I fit a connecting link?

Bring the chain ends together, insert the link pins into the bushes of the last inner links, fit the plate and secure it with a spring clip or a cotter pin. Fitting is easiest when the chain lies on the sprocket.

Does the 12B-1 chain fit ASA 60 sprockets?

No. The 12B chain (European standard) and the ASA 60 chain (American standard) have the same pitch but a different roller diameter and inner width. These systems should not be mixed.

Does a connecting link weaken the chain?

A correctly fitted connecting link works like the other links. Under heavy loads and vibrations, check the locking element (spring clip or cotter pin) during drive inspections.
