Niklas, 

You just buy a length of chain a little longer than you think you need and a master (removable link).

You then drape the chain over the sprockets and mark it to the length needed.

Remove the extra links and join the chain with a new master link.

 

I assume you already have a rotary autopilot. You can remove the master link and measure the chain.

If it is a new installation just order more chain than is needed and do as I have written above.

Hello

Is there any that knows the length of the chain for the autopilot (rotary drive)

56 inches of chain would be enough for my installation.  That would give a little bit extra to be sure as Eric suggests.  

Of course, that assumes your installation is exactly the same as mine.
