What is a Connector Link?

A connector link (also called a master link or connecting link) is a special removable link used to join the two ends of a roller chain loop. Unlike standard chain links that are permanently assembled, connector links feature a removable side plate secured with either a cotter pin or rivet. This design allows you to connect and disconnect chain without special tools, making installation, maintenance, and repairs much easier.

Attachment Options:

• Cotter Pin (Recommended): Secure attachment for high-load applications, pins must be properly spread after installation
• Riveted: Permanent installation for maximum strength, use when connector link will not need removal

Installation Notes:

• Connector links are slightly weaker than standard links - position away from high-stress areas when possible
• For cotter pin style, ensure pins are properly spread after installation
• Inspect cotter pins regularly and replace if damaged or loose
• Consider using offset link if odd number of chain links is required

Common Applications:

• Heavy-duty agricultural equipment requiring maximum strength
• High-load conveyors and material handling systems
• Industrial drives with extreme load requirements
• Any application requiring periodic chain removal for maintenance
