Overview
The SDRC 60-2Riv ANSI roller chain is a double-strand (duplex) industrial power transmission component manufactured to meet ANSI B29.1 standards. Supplied in new condition with 160 links spanning 10 feet, this 3/4″ pitch chain delivers dependable performance across standard-duty applications requiring smooth, consistent power delivery.
Key Features
- Double-Strand Design: Two parallel strands distribute load evenly, reducing wear on individual rollers and pins.
- Riveted Pin Construction: Riveted pins provide permanent joint assembly without the need for removable fasteners.
- Carbon Steel Material: Standard carbon steel throughout—plates, rollers, pins, and bushings—for cost-effective durability in dry indoor environments.
- Standard Rollers and Pins: Compatible with conventional sprockets designed for #60 chain geometry.
- ANSI B29.1 Compliance: Meets American National Standards Institute specifications for interchangeability and performance.
- New in Box Condition: Factory-sealed packaging ensures no prior use or wear.
