  • RS25 - RS35 are roller-less chain (only bush). The figure shown is the bush diameter.
  • Connecting links are clip type for sizes up to RS60, and cotter type for sizes RS80 to RS200.
    RS240 connecting links are spring pin type.
  • When a single pitch offset link is used, please calculate a 35% reduction of the fatigue strength.
  • Two pitch offset links (2POL) can be used at 100% of the above values.
  • Please contact us to get an updated stock information.
