Tsubaki RS160 Roller Chain Master Connecting Link

Description:

The Tsubaki RS160 ANSI #160 Master Connecting Link is used in industrial power transmission systems to join or repair ANSI #160 single-strand roller chains in heavy-duty applications. Commonly installed in conveyors, mining equipment, steel mills, aggregate processing systems, agricultural machinery, and other industrial drive systems requiring a secure field-installable chain connection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this connecting link for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement to restore chain integrity and minimize equipment downtime.

Applications:

The Tsubaki RS160 master connecting link is manufactured from heat-treated carbon steel and is designed specifically for ANSI #160 roller chain with a 2-inch pitch. It uses a cotter pin design for secure installation, matching the strength and dimensional requirements of the base chain while allowing convenient chain assembly and maintenance. It is ideal for heavy-duty conveyors, material handling equipment, mining machinery, agricultural equipment, and industrial processing systems.
