The TSUBAKI lubrication-free attachment chain is a power transmission component designed to drag, lift or convey materials by means of attachments fixed to the links. Its lubrication-free construction allows operation in applications where oil dripping is undesirable, such as in the food industry or in equipment with restricted maintenance. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for the Argentine market, with technical advice to select the right pitch and configuration.
The designation of these chains is read in parts: RF indicates roller chain, the number that follows (08B, 10B, 12B, 16B) corresponds to the pitch according to British standard, and LM denotes the lubrication-free version. The final suffix -1 or -2 identifies whether the chain is single or double strand. For example, RF08B-LM-1 is a chain with 08B pitch, lubrication-free, single; RF10B-LM-2 is 10B pitch, lubrication-free, double. Knowing this nomenclature speeds up the quote.
These chains are used in drag conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting systems and packaging lines. In Argentina, they are common in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and material handling industries, where cleanliness and the absence of conventional lubricant are priorities. They also appear in bakery equipment, cold storage facilities and processing plants that require positive drag without oil contamination.
To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the type of attachment and the working environment. The lubrication-free version is intended for moderate speeds and loads that do not require continuous lubrication. During assembly, check the alignment of the sprockets, the proper tension and the condition of the rollers. Periodic cleaning and wear inspection extend service life, especially in dusty or humid environments.
Lubrication-free attachment chains can be interchanged with other brands that follow the British standard for pitches 08B to 16B, provided the pitch, number of strands and type of attachment match. Not all brands offer lubrication-free versions, so equivalence must be verified case by case. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on options that correspond in its power transmission line.
If you need a lubrication-free attachment chain for your equipment, send the code or model via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With the pitch, strand and attachment type data, the technical team can advise you and quote the option that best suits your application. The response is prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the abbreviation LM mean in the designation of these chains?
- LM indicates that the chain is lubrication-free, meaning it does not require conventional lubricant to operate. This makes it suitable for applications where oil dripping is a problem, such as in the food industry. The rest of the designation indicates the pitch and the number of strands.
- How do I choose between a single and double strand chain?
- The choice depends on the load to be transmitted and the available space. The double strand withstands higher loads but requires wider sprockets. If your original equipment uses single strand, you can most likely replace it with an equivalent one. Ask us with the code for advice.
- Can I replace a lubrication-free attachment chain with a conventional one?
- In some cases yes, but keep in mind that the lubrication-free version is designed to avoid contamination. If the environment allows it, a conventional chain can work, although it will require periodic lubrication. For food or pharmaceutical applications, it is recommended to keep the lubrication-free version.
