What is a Connecting Link?

A connecting link (also called a master link or connector link) is a special removable link used to join the two ends of a roller chain together. Unlike standard chain links that are permanently assembled, connecting links use a spring clip that allows them to be installed and removed without pressing pins. This makes them essential for chain installation, allowing you to size chain to exact length and connect the ends in the field. Each connecting link consists of two outer plates, two pins, and a spring clip that secures the pins in place.

When Do You Need a Connecting Link?

• Installing new chain - every chain needs one connecting link to join the ends
• Replacing worn or damaged connecting links
• Creating custom chain lengths from bulk chain
• Field repairs where you need to disconnect and reconnect chain
• Any application where you need to remove chain periodically for maintenance

Applications:

• Agricultural equipment chain installation and repair
• Conveyor system assembly and maintenance
• Material handling equipment
• Any CA550 chain application requiring connection or disconnection
• Field repairs and emergency chain fixes
