This listing covers a full range of ISO-standard roller chains — from the compact 04C simplex up to the heavy-duty 16B duplex — giving engineers, maintenance technicians, and serious DIY builders a single source for the chain model they need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach chain is constructed from carbon steel plates, precision-ground pins, and hardened rollers. The simplex (single-row, suffix -1) variants span pitch sizes from approximately 6.35 mm (1\/4 in) for 04C up to 25.4 mm (1 in) for 16A\/16B, while duplex (double-row, suffix -2) variants double the load capacity within the same pitch envelope. All chains are supplied in a standard 1.524 m (5 ft \/ 60-link) length, ready to cut and connect with a standard connecting link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include light conveyor drives (04C–06C), agricultural and general-purpose machinery (08A–10B), industrial gearbox output drives (12A–12B), and heavy-duty power transmission on construction or packaging equipment (16A–16B). Long-tail use cases include replacement roller chain for go-kart drives, mini-bike chains, and workshop bandsaw drives where an exact ISO pitch match is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚙️\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits all ISO 606 \/ ANSI B29.1-compliant sprockets matching the selected chain model's pitch and roller diameter.
