Roller chain lengths

Chain lengths are simplex roller chains in ready-cut, fixed lengths. You buy as much chain as you need for the repair, shorten the length to size and close it with a connecting link.

Roller chain lengths - pay only for the length you need

You don't pay for a whole reel of which you will use only part, and you don't have to measure or break the chain yourself. A shorter length is easier and cheaper to ship, and takes up little space in a workshop or on a farm - a handy reserve in case of breakdown. The lengths come from the same chains we sell on reels: C45 steel, each component hardened separately before assembly, strength about 20% higher than the standard requires.

Lengths of B-type, A-type and heavy-duty AH drive chains

Lengths of the most popular European chains in the B-type subgroup and American chains in the A-type subgroup, together with heavy-duty AH versions. The length is given in the product name. The full choice of sizes, including multiplex chains, can be found in the A-type chains and B-type chains groups.

Questions and answers: shortening a roller chain length

How do I shorten a chain length?

Excess links are removed by driving the pins out of the outer plates, and the chain is closed with a connecting link. With an odd number of links, an offset link is also needed.

Is a chain length different from chain off the reel?

No. It is the same chain cut to a fixed length, so it runs on the same sprockets and with the same links.
