#40 Corrosion-Resistant Offset Link (Half Link) - ANSI Standard

#40 Corrosion-Resistant Offset Link (Half Link)

Premium ANSI standard offset link (half link) with advanced Dacromet armor coating for adjusting chain length and making repairs on #40 corrosion-resistant roller chain. Essential for custom length installations in agricultural and industrial applications where moisture, fertilizers, or chemicals would quickly corrode standard offset links.

Advanced Corrosion Protection

The baked-on Dacromet coating provides exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion—matching the protection of your corrosion-resistant chain. Each component is individually coated before assembly to ensure maximum protection and maintain corrosion resistance throughout the entire chain assembly.

Key Features:

• Dacromet armor coating matches corrosion-resistant chain
• ANSI standard compliant - fits all standard #40 roller chain
• Each component individually coated before assembly
• More corrosion-resistant than nickel plated offset links
• Essential for custom chain length adjustments
• Allows odd-number pitch length configurations
• Includes spring clip for secure connection

ANSI Standard Specifications:

• Chain Size: #40-1 Single Strand
• Pitch: 0.500"
• Compatible with all ANSI #40 roller chain
• Includes spring clip

What is an Offset Link (Half Link)?

An offset link, also called a half link, allows you to adjust chain length by one pitch increment. Standard roller chain requires an even number of links, but when you need an odd number of pitches, an offset link makes it possible. This is essential for achieving exact chain lengths when installing or repairing equipment.

Why Use Corrosion-Resistant Offset Links?

When using corrosion-resistant roller chain, it's critical to use matching corrosion-resistant offset links. A standard offset link will rust and fail quickly in corrosive environments, creating a weak point in your otherwise protected chain assembly. These Dacromet-coated offset links maintain the same corrosion protection throughout your entire chain.

Ideal Applications:

• Planter Fertilizer Boxes: Resists corrosion from fertilizer exposure
• Planter Insecticide Boxes: Withstands chemical exposure from insecticides
• Outdoor Agricultural Equipment: Protects against weather and field conditions
• Food Processing Equipment: Safe for food industry washdown environments
• Custom Length Installations: When exact chain length requires odd number of pitches
• Any Corrosive Environment: Where standard offset links would rust and fail

Installation Note

Keep corrosion-resistant offset links on hand for installations requiring precise chain lengths. They're essential when your equipment needs an odd number of pitches to achieve proper chain tension and alignment.
