Single Riveted Connecting Link

The Dayton 2YED9 is a single-strand connecting link built for 140 series roller chain. It suits maintenance crews and equipment operators who need to join or repair heavy-duty drive chains in industrial or agricultural machinery. The riveted pin construction creates a permanent joint that matches the strength of the surrounding chain links.

Operating Temperature Range 10 To 150 Degrees F

This steel link functions reliably between 10 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit, covering most ambient conditions found in workshops, farms and outdoor installations. Mid-carbon steel plates and a riveted pin resist deformation under sustained load. No lubrication schedule or power-draw figure is provided by the manufacturer.

Riveted Pin Installation Requires Press Tools

The supplied link uses a riveted pin design, meaning assembly demands a chain press or riveting tool to flare the pin ends securely. This differs from slip-fit or cottered alternatives that can be installed by hand. The package contains only the connecting link; no tools, lubricant or additional hardware are included.

Questions about this item

How do I install the riveted connecting link on my 140 chain, and what step do people get wrong?

Press the link plates onto the pins, then peen the pin ends with a hammer to form rivet heads; the common error is leaving the peened heads too flat, which lets the plates work loose.

What maintenance or replacement will this 140 connecting link need later?

Inspect the riveted pins and 1 in rollers for wear or elongation; replace the link once the chain stretches beyond the 1 3/4 in pitch tolerance or if the 7/32 in plates show cracking.

What limit shows up first when this 140 connecting link runs under sustained load?

The 38,280 lbf tensile strength is the ceiling; sustained tension near that value will stretch the 1 in inside-width plates before the 150 °F temperature limit is reached.
