Abstract
A chain link 2 for connecting two additional chain links 3, 3.1 hooked therein, for the formation of a round steel link chain, for example, a conveyor chain of a scraper conveyor, comprises two bends 4, 5 and two legs 7, 7.1 connecting the bends. On its external side facing away from its inner space 6, one or more functional surfaces 8, 11, 15, 15.1, 16 are present. The chain link 2 is designed asymmetrically with respect to at least one of its central planes in at least one of its two bends 4, 5 so as to form or enlarge one or more functional surfaces 8, 11, 15, 15.1, 16.
