Experience the DUROCHAIN Difference
DUROCHAIN Premium #08BHP Hollow-Pin Connecting Links are made for specific use with #08BHP single-strand hollow-pin metric roller chain. Also commonly referred to as master links, these connecting links provide a secure and dimensionally accurate method for joining two sections of compatible hollow-pin chain.
Each DUROCHAIN #08BHP connecting link is manufactured from premium carbon steel with hardened high-strength pins, precision-prepared straight sideplates, and shot-peened components. This carefully controlled construction helps improve strength, fatigue resistance, component fitment, and dependable link performance in demanding conveying and material-handling applications.
The hollow-pin configuration maintains the versatility of the adjoining chain, allowing cross rods, attachments, fixtures, and other components to pass through the assembled link. Common applications include packaging machinery, sorting equipment, textile machinery, incline conveyors, production lines, and customized material-handling systems.
