The TSUBAKI RF NP series roller chain is a metric-pitch transmission chain designed to work in corrosive environments. It is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts in equipment where humidity, frequent washdowns or chemical agents affect conventional chains. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the pitch and number of strands for your application.

The series designation is read in parts. RF indicates a metric-pitch roller chain according to BS standard; the number that follows defines the pitch (for example, 06B corresponds to a 3/8" pitch). NP identifies the version with anti-corrosion treatment. The last digit indicates the number of strands: RF06B-NP-1 is single, RF06B-NP-2 is double and RF06B-NP-3 is triple. So the part number tells you the size and configuration at a glance.

These chains are used in industries where there is exposure to corrosion: food and beverage plants with frequent washdowns, industrial wash bays, water treatment, chemical industry, tanneries and outdoor equipment. In Argentina you will find them in conveyors, mixers, pump and fan drives, and in packaging lines where the chain receives water or cleaning products daily.

To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the required length in number of pitches. The NP version is designed to resist corrosion, but it does not replace a stainless steel chain in very aggressive environments. Check sprocket alignment, correct tension and proper lubrication for that environment; a compatible lubricant helps extend service life even in the presence of humidity.

BS metric-pitch roller chains are interchangeable between manufacturers that follow the same standard, as long as pitch, inner width and number of strands match. When requesting a quote, it is best to provide the complete part number or the pitch and width measurements to avoid confusion. If your equipment has an equivalent chain from another brand, we can help you find the match.

If you need a TSUBAKI RF NP series chain, send us the part number or model by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that information we will send you a quote shortly and confirm the variant that best suits your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the NP suffix mean on the TSUBAKI chain?
NP identifies the version with anti-corrosion treatment of the RF series. It is designed for environments with humidity or agents that attack carbon steel. It is not the same as a stainless steel chain, but it offers greater corrosion resistance than a standard chain.
How do I choose between a single, double or triple chain?
The number of strands depends on the load the drive must transmit. The more strands, the greater the transmission capacity for the same pitch. If you are not sure, send us your equipment data and we will guide you to choose the correct configuration.
What information do I need to request a quote for an RF NP chain?
Ideally, send us the complete part number (for example, RF06B-NP-1), the number of pitches or the total length, and whether it is for replacement or for new equipment. With that we will quote you shortly by WhatsApp.
