The TSUBAKI BS standard attachment chain is a power transmission component that combines the function of a roller chain with that of a conveyor. The attachments, welded or riveted to the links, allow accessories to be fastened, materials to be dragged or mechanisms to be synchronized. It is used in production lines, packaging equipment and material handling systems. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line backed by more than 80 years in the industry.
The RF#B-# designation reads as follows: RF indicates roller chain with attachments, the number that follows (08, 10, 12, 16) is the pitch in eighths of an inch according to BS standard, the B corresponds to the British series and the last digit specifies the number of strands. For example, RF08B-1 is a chain with 1/2" pitch and single strand; RF10B-2 is 5/8" pitch and double strand. Variants with center guide or special attachments are identified with additional suffixes that are checked by part number.
In Argentine industry, these chains are seen in accumulation conveyors, packaging machines, drag systems in meat plants and automotive assembly lines. They are also used in baking equipment, the ceramic industry and aggregate processing plants. Their ability to withstand side loads and fasten devices makes them versatile where an ordinary roller chain is not enough.
To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the type of attachment required. Check the alignment of the sprockets and the proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be periodic and with the lubricant recommended according to the speed and working temperature. Sealing does not apply to open chains, but cleaning does, to prevent abrasion.
TSUBAKI BS standard attachment chains are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same standard, provided the pitch, inner width and number of strands match. When requesting a quote, provide the complete part number and, if possible, the critical dimensions or the pitch. This allows the equivalent alternative to be offered without errors.
