Attachment Chain
Solid Roller | Solid Bushing | Custom Spacing | Stainless Steel | Nickel-Plated | British Standard | Aqua-Series
MAXCO attachment chains are standard ANSI single and double pitch chains with modified side plates or pins. Attachments may be used for a variety of purposes such as conveying, timing or alignment. Several types of standard attachments are available from stock while custom attachments can be made to order. MAXCO carbon steel attachment chains are standard with solid rollers and solid bushings, greatly extending chain life. For corrosive or extreme environments, stainless steel, nickel-plated and Aqua-Series chains are also available. MAXCO stocks many unique attachments for specialized applications such as the poultry, packaging and forestry industries.
ATTACHMENT SPACING
When referencing attachment chains, the attachment spacing must be specified. The attachment spacing or centers (space from the center of one attachment to the next) should be referred to in terms of pitches (links). When counting pitches both the outside (pin link) and the inside (roller link) must be counted. Example: attachments on every link (all inside and outside links). Attachments on every second pitch on the pin link (every outside link). Attachments on every second pitch on the roller link (every inside link). Attachment every third pitch (alternating between inside and outside links).

EVERY 3rd PITCH

Standard Attachments
MAXCO Chain stocks most standard attachment chains in carbon steel and stainless steel. Most custom attachment spacing can be assembled with short delivery times. Single pitch chain with two attachment holes in one attachment is considered wide contour. Many custom attachments are also available or can be made to order.
