When your conveyor line demands consistent, low-maintenance power transmission, a mismatched or worn roller chain becomes a costly bottleneck. Engineers, maintenance technicians, and DIY builders working on agricultural feeders, packaging lines, or material handling rigs need a double pitch roller chain that installs cleanly and runs quietly under load. This 2040–2082 conveyor roller chain is sized for exactly those applications.
Each length is 5 feet (1.524 m) and includes one connecting link for immediate assembly. The chain series spans pitch sizes from 2040 (25.40 mm / 1.00 in pitch) through 2082 (50.80 mm / 2.00 in pitch), covering the full ANSI double pitch conveyor range. Two configurations are available: Type A (solid roller, lighter weight) and Type B (extended pin, suitable for attachments). Steel construction with a natural or lightly oiled finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.
Typical use cases include replacement conveyor roller chain for agricultural grain augers and elevator buckets, retrofit drive chain for packaging and bottling line conveyors, and custom-length conveyor chain for DIY material handling and workshop automation projects.

The number after "20" indicates the pitch in eighths of an inch. 2040 = 1.00 in pitch, 2050 = 1.25 in pitch, 2060 = 1.50 in pitch, 2080 = 2.00 in pitch. Match the series to your existing sprocket's pitch marking. If your sprocket is stamped "2060," order the 2060 chain.
Type A chains use standard solid rollers and are suited for straightforward conveyor and drive applications. Type B chains feature extended pins on every other link, allowing you to bolt on attachment plates, pusher dogs, or custom fixtures. If you need to carry product directly on the chain, Type B is the correct choice.
These chains carry a light corrosion-inhibiting oil finish suitable for sheltered indoor use and occasional exposure to moisture. For continuous outdoor exposure, high-humidity environments, or washdown applications, we recommend applying a chain lubricant rated for your conditions or contacting us to confirm suitability before ordering.
Each 5-foot section includes one master link. If you are joining multiple sections end-to-end to form a longer loop, you will need one connecting link per joint. Additional connecting links can be ordered separately — contact us if you need extras.
Match the chain series number (e.g., 2060) to the sprocket's ANSI designation. Also verify the sprocket's tooth profile is designed for double pitch chain — double pitch chains have a longer pitch than standard single pitch chains of the same roller diameter, so they require double pitch sprockets or every-other-tooth engagement on a standard sprocket. Type B chains additionally require sprockets with clearance for the extended pins.
A standard roller chain breaker (chain press tool) is all that is required to remove links and size the chain to your application. The included connecting link can be installed with needle-nose pliers and a flat-head screwdriver. No special tooling is needed for basic installation.
Lubrication frequency depends on operating speed, load, and environment. As a general guideline, apply a light machine oil or chain lubricant every 8–40 hours of operation for moderate-duty applications. In dusty or high-load environments, inspect and lubricate more frequently. Proper lubrication significantly extends chain life and reduces sprocket wear.
