Some roller chain applications require a chain that features the ability to assemble and disassemble in the field rather than using a "grind and punch" method. In such a circumstances, we recommend you Cottered Type Roller Chain. Our Cottered style roller chains are manufactured with the same standard dimensions as a riveted roller chain, just with cotters instead of rivets.

When making a comparison between riveted chain and cotter chain, the obvious difference is actual cotter pin construction instead of a rivet. Another noticeable difference is that a cottered chain is typically slightly wider than a riveted chain. The reason why most people go with a cottered chain is that it's easier to disassemble than a riveted chain. But a cottered chain still uses press-fitted link plates which means completely disassemble will still be difficult. An easy and safe method for cutting a chain is to use a roller chain breaker.
