KCM Self-Lube ASA Connecting Link Simplex 40NL

KCM connecting links join the ends of a length of ASA self-lube simplex roller chain into a continuous loop. Match the link to the KCM chain with the same chain number, strand count and series. Oil-impregnated bushing gives self-lubrication, so no relubrication is needed.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

For ASA chain the number is the pitch in eighths of an inch: 40 is 4/8" (1/2"), 60 is 6/8" (3/4"), 100 is 10/8" (1-1/4"). The figure after the dash is the number of strands.

Choose self-lube chain where lubrication is not required or is hard to carry out. Select it from its chain power transmission table, not by the low-speed selection method. Single strand chain runs on standard sprockets; multiple-strand chain needs an exclusive sprocket.
