  • Connecting links are clip type for sizes RS40-LMD to RS60-LMD, and cotter type for sizes RS80-LMD to RS140-LMD.
  • Drive and Conveyor series Lambda chain cannot be intercoupled or interchanged.
  • Due to increased roller link plate thickness, Drive Lambda connecting links are required.
  • Due to increased roller link plate thickness, the pins are longer. Check for machine interference.
  • When a single pitch offset link is used, please calculate a 35% reduction in fatigue strength.
  • The listed sizes are stock items, other chain sizes are available on request
  • Also available in Neptune™ specification.
