Overview
The Timken 140-2 COTTERED CO LINK is a heavy-duty, double-strand roller chain designed for industrial power transmission. This chain features a #140 size with 1-3/4″ pitch, making it suitable for applications requiring significant load capacity and reliable motion control. The Timken 140-2 cottered roller chain is manufactured to ANSI B29.1 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial equipment and sprockets.
Key Features
- Cottered design uses cotter pins on one side, making cutting and disassembly easier than riveted chain
- Carbon steel construction with heat-treated material specification for maximum strength and wear resistance
- Shot-peened and precision heat-treated components provide enhanced fatigue and wear resistance
- Rust preventive coating finish extends service life in industrial environments
- Wide-waisted link plates for improved load distribution and reduced plate stress
- Pre-loaded construction ensures proper chain tension engagement
