Overview
The SDRC 60-2Riv roller chain is a precision-manufactured double-strand (duplex) power transmission chain meeting ANSI B29.1 standards. With a 3/4″ (0.750″) pitch, this chain is the sixth largest-sized roller chain in the ANSI lineup. The 60-2Riv designation indicates duplex (two-strand) construction, which significantly increases load capacity and tensile strength compared to single-strand alternatives. This 10-foot coil with 160 links provides reliable mechanical power transfer for industrial drive and conveying systems.
Key Features
- Double-Strand (Duplex) Construction: The 60-2 chain offers high tensile strength of 19,800 LBS with a 3,370 LBS maximum working load, suitable for demanding applications.
- ANSI Standard Compliance: Manufactured to ANSI B29.1 specifications, ensuring interchangeability with standard-sized sprockets and dependable performance across equipment brands.
- Proven Durability: Applications for #60-2 double strand roller chain include demanding agricultural equipment, plant machinery, conveying and drive applications.
- Ready-to-Use Coil: Supplied as a complete 10-foot coil with 160 links; new in box condition ensures immediate installation.
