This 304 stainless double row roller chain is engineered for builders, fabricators, and machine designers who need reliable power transmission in conditions where ordinary chains fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chain is manufactured from 304 stainless steel throughout — inner plates, outer plates, pins, bushings, and rollers — delivering consistent corrosion resistance across the entire assembly. Available in five ISO\/ANSI double-row (duplex) sizes: 06B-2, 08B-2, 08A-2, 10A-2, and 12A-2, with a fixed length of 1.524 m (approximately 5 ft \/ 60 in) per piece.
