Description
A roller chain with attachments turns a standard drive chain into a carrying chain. Brackets, pins or special plates are fitted to the outer links at the pitch you specify, so the chain can both drive the line and carry the product, fixture or pallet. We produce standard attachment types and, more often, custom attachments made to your drawing or sample.
Available Models
This attachment chain is built on the following base chain model:
| Model | 08A-1 (40-1) |
| Pitch | 12.7 mm (1/2 in) |
| Chain size code | 4 fen, A series |
| Load class | Light to medium duty |
| Standard / series | A series, commonly ordered overseas as the ANSI 40 size |
Typical Applications
Model 08A-1 (40-1) is a general-purpose light to medium duty chain. Typical applications include:
- General-purpose equipment
- Conveyor lines
- Packaging machines
- Small hoists
- Woodworking machinery
Product Features
- Standard attachment types and custom attachments produced to your drawing or sample
- Attachments fitted to the outer links at the interval you specify
- Available on single strand chain and on multi-strand chain
- Standard and non-standard plate thickness and pin extension
- Carbon steel and stainless steel options
- Supplied either pre-assembled with the chain, or as separate attachment links
- Chain delivered in the exact length your machine needs
Product Advantages
- Converts a standard roller chain into a light-duty conveyor or indexing drive, so fixtures, trays or products can be carried on the chain itself
- Fewer parts on the machine, because in many designs no separate belt, carriage or indexing mechanism is needed
- Attachment spacing, height and shape made to your drawing, so the chain drops straight into an existing line
- Simple maintenance: a damaged section can be replaced link by link without changing the whole chain
- Custom attachments avoid the cost of buying standard parts and machining them to fit
- More than ten years of export experience, with technical support from our engineers

- Light-duty conveyors carrying fixtures, jigs and pallets
- Indexing drives and indexing conveyors on assembly lines
- Glass, ceramic and panel handling lines
- Printing, packaging and labelling machinery
- Weighing and filling lines that need attachments to carry the product
- Any machine where a standard roller chain needs a fitted bracket or pin extension
