The TSUBAKI RF B-SS roller chain is a stainless steel transmission chain, designed to work in corrosive environments where a carbon steel chain would degrade quickly. It is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts in equipment exposed to humidity, washdowns, vapors or chemicals. MR Accesorios Industriales offers it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and helps you choose the correct pitch and configuration for your application.
The designation of this line is read in parts: RF identifies the roller chain, the number that follows —as in RF06B— indicates the pitch according to BS standard, and the suffix SS indicates stainless steel. At the end, the last digit defines the number of strands: RF06B-SS-1 is single and RF06B-SS-2 is double. With those three data —pitch, material and number of strands— you can already identify the chain you need.
These chains are chosen in food and beverage plants, industrial laundries, surface treatment, chemical industry and cold storage, where there is frequent washing or contact with corrosive agents. They also appear in packaging equipment, transport of wet parts and machinery exposed to the weather. In all these cases, stainless steel extends the service life compared to carbon steel.
To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the length in number of pitches. Check the alignment of the sprockets and the correct tensioning: a misaligned or overly tight chain wears out sooner. In corrosive environments, lubrication also matters: use a lubricant compatible with stainless steel and check the sealing or protection of the equipment. If there are chemical washdowns, consult us about compatibility.
Stainless steel BS chains are interchangeable between brands keeping the same pitch and number of strands, but the surface treatment, corrosion resistance and accessories may vary. Do not mix chains from different manufacturers in the same transmission without verifying pitch and roller compatibility. If in doubt, send us the complete part number and we will confirm the equivalence.
To request a quote, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number or model shown on your equipment: for example RF06B-SS-1 or RF06B-SS-2. If you do not have it at hand, tell us the pitch, the number of strands and the approximate length. At MR Accesorios Industriales we respond promptly with the alternative that best suits your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SS suffix mean in a TSUBAKI RF chain?
- The SS suffix indicates stainless steel. It is the variant designed for corrosive environments, where a carbon steel chain would rust quickly. The rest of the designation —RF, the pitch number and the final digit— remains the same as in the standard version.
- How do I choose between a single and a double chain?
- The number of strands is defined by the load to be transmitted and the available space. The single (
-1) is used in light transmissions; the double (-2) allows greater capacity with the same pitch. If you are not sure, send us your equipment data and we will guide you. - Can I replace a chain from another brand with a TSUBAKI RF B-SS?
- Yes, as long as the pitch, the number of strands and the roller type match. BS chains are interchangeable between manufacturers, although the material and treatment may vary. Send us the part number of the original chain and we will confirm the equivalence.
