Abstract
A drive link for a sawchain is disclosed wherein the drive link has a top side which faces away from an opening plane defined by the respective axes of the rivet openings and extends at least partially at the drive link apex. A functional surface and a contact surface spaced apart from the functional surface are provided on the top side of the drive link. The functional surface is formed on the drive link apex and includes a section of the top side in which the top side is at a maximum spacing from the opening plane. The functional surface of the top side of the drive link is point-symmetric to a symmetry point with respect to the contact surface in the viewing direction toward the drive link plane.
