Belleone ANSI #40 Roller Chain 10 ft (240 Links) 1/2" Pitch High-Carbon Steel with 5 Connecting Links for Go-Karts & Mini Bikes

Belleone's ANSI #40 roller chain is a 10-foot, 240-link high-carbon steel chain with five connecting links designed to transmit power reliably across go-karts, mini bikes, scooters, motorcycles, ATVs and compatible machinery.

This heavy-duty roller chain offers a universal replacement for equipment that takes an ANSI #40 (1/2" pitch) chain. Built from 40Mn high-carbon steel, the chain balances toughness and wear resistance for common drive applications. The 10-foot length and included five master links make it easy to size and install the chain for many small-vehicle and light-industrial drives; always verify pitch and chain number before cutting and fitting to ensure proper engagement and safety.

How do I confirm this chain fits my vehicle or machine?

Match the chain number and pitch first: ANSI #40 corresponds to a 1/2" pitch. Check the sprocket tooth profile and the required link count for your setup. If you’re replacing an existing chain, compare link-to-link dimensions and the stamped chain type.

• Verify the sprocket is compatible with 1/2" pitch teeth.
• Measure an existing link center-to-center if unsure.
• Confirm required total links; this chain ships with 240 links (10 feet).
• Use the five included connecting links for joining or spares.

What tools and steps are needed to shorten and install the chain?

Shortening and installing an ANSI #40 chain requires a chain breaker or punch tool, pliers for connecting links, and basic hand tools. Remove excess links, clean cut ends, and use a connecting link to join the chain; ensure secure clipping and proper alignment before testing under light load.

• Chain breaker or punch to remove pins cleanly.
• Pliers or clip tool for securing the master connecting links.
• Torque or fastening tools for any sprocket covers or guards.
• Lubricant applied after installation for smoother operation and longer life.

What are the material and durability features of this chain?

Made from 40Mn high-carbon steel, the chain is engineered for repeated power transfer in small-vehicle and light machinery applications. The material provides strength and resistance to wear under normal operating conditions when maintained properly. It’s suitable for standard drive tasks, though heavy industrial or high-speed specialized uses may require graded or coated chains.

• 40Mn steel offers toughness for common drive loads.
• Heat-treated components for consistent pin and link strength.
• Regular lubrication and tension checks extend service life.
• Includes five master links for convenience and replacements.

Who is this for: This 10-foot Belleone ANSI #40 roller chain is built for hobbyists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who service go-karts, mini bikes, scooters, bicycles with compatible sprockets, ATVs, dirt bikes and light industrial drives. It’s ideal when you need a versatile, cut-to-length replacement or a bulk chain for multiple projects; however, confirm your machine’s pitch, sprocket compatibility and load requirements before purchasing to ensure safe, correct operation.
