Description

#40 Industrial Roller Chain Half Link – Economy Grade


The 4016 #40 Economy Half Link is designed for fine-tuning chain length in light-duty or general-purpose applications using #40 industrial roller chain. This half link, also known as an offset link, is used when your chain length cannot be perfectly matched using full links alone—providing flexibility where space or adjustment range is limited.


Important: This half link is intended only for use with economy or non-performance #40 chain, such as the 40-1R-10 model. It should not be used in high-performance or racing applications.


Key Features:

  • Fits: #40 pitch economy roller chain
  • Type: Half (offset) link
  • Part Number: 4016
  • Use Case: Chain length adjustment for low-load setups
  • Material: Steel construction for general-purpose use


Racing/Performance Notice:

While half links provide a quick solution for adjusting chain length, they are not suitable for high-torque or high-speed applications. In racing or performance settings, we strongly recommend using a chain breaker tool to create a permanent custom-length chain. Relying on master or half links in racing can lead to chain failure or separation under stress.


Ideal For:

  • Light-duty machinery
  • DIY projects
  • Shop equipment
  • Non-racing go-karts or lawn equipment

FAQ

1. What is a half link or offset link?

A half link allows you to adjust your chain length by half a pitch, which can be useful when a full link would make the chain too long. It’s often used in tight-fit applications.


2. Can I use this with a performance or racing chain?

No. This half link is intended for economy-grade chains only. It is not designed to withstand the torque and speed of racing or high-performance engines.


3. Will this fit all #40 chains?

This half link is made for economy #40 chain types, such as the 40-1R-10. Fit with other #40 chains is not guaranteed, especially with premium or reinforced brands.


4. What’s the best alternative for racing use?

For racing or high-performance use, you should use a chain breaker tool to cut your chain to a permanent length and avoid half or master links, which can fail under load.


5. Is it reusable?

While it can be reused in light-duty applications, we recommend replacing half links when servicing or adjusting the chain for optimal reliability.
