The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When a worn or snapped roller chain brings your conveyor, drive system, or machinery to a halt, finding the right replacement fast is critical. This stainless steel roller chain is engineered for makers, maintenance technicians, and industrial DIYers who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant drive solution without compromise.
Each length measures 1.524 meters (approximately 60 inches) and is available in five ISO-standard pitch sizes — 06B (9.525 mm / 0.375 in), 08B (12.7 mm / 0.5 in), 10A (15.875 mm / 0.625 in), 12A (19.05 mm / 0.75 in), and 16A (25.4 mm / 1.0 in). Choose from 201 or 304 stainless steel, and select your attachment plate configuration: Single Side Single Hole, Bilateral Single Hole, Single Side Double Hole, or Double Side Double Hole.
Typical applications include food-processing conveyor lines requiring washdown-safe roller chain replacement, agricultural equipment drive systems exposed to moisture and debris, and light industrial automation rigs where a corrosion-resistant simplex roller chain with attachment links is essential for reliable power transmission.

Match the pitch size to your existing sprocket. Measure the distance between the centers of two adjacent roller pins — this is your chain pitch. Common sizes in this listing: 06B = 9.525 mm, 08B = 12.7 mm, 10A = 15.875 mm, 12A = 19.05 mm, 16A = 25.4 mm. When in doubt, check your sprocket's stamped designation or OEM documentation.
201 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance at a lower cost, making it suitable for indoor or mildly humid environments. 304 stainless steel contains higher nickel content, providing superior resistance to oxidation, moisture, and mild chemicals — ideal for food processing, outdoor, or washdown applications where long-term durability matters.
The attachment plate type describes how the extended link plates are configured for mounting fixtures or guides. Single Side means attachment plates are on one side of the chain only. Bilateral means both sides have attachment plates. Single Hole means each attachment plate has one mounting hole; Double Hole means two holes per plate for more secure or adjustable fastening.
Yes. Stainless steel roller chain can be shortened using a chain breaker tool to press out a pin at the desired link. You will need a connecting link (master link) of the matching pitch and material to rejoin the ends. Ensure the connecting link is rated for your load requirements.
The 304 stainless steel variant is commonly used in food-adjacent and washdown environments due to its corrosion resistance. However, this chain does not carry an NSF or food-grade certification in this listing. For regulated food-contact applications, verify compliance requirements with your facility's standards before use.
Each piece is 1.524 m (60 in) long. Calculate your required loop length based on your center distance and sprocket circumferences using the standard chain length formula: L = 2C + (N1 + N2)/2 + (N2 − N1)²/(4π²C), where C is center distance in pitches. Order 2 or 3 pieces if your drive requires more than 1.524 m, and use a connecting link to join lengths.
Stainless steel chains still benefit from periodic lubrication to reduce wear between rollers, pins, and bushings. Use a food-safe lubricant for washdown environments, or a light machine oil for standard industrial use. Avoid lubricants containing chlorides, which can cause stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel over time.
