The TSUBAKI stainless steel roller chain with attachments is a power transmission component designed to withstand corrosive environments. It is used in applications where the standard chain would degrade quickly from exposure to humidity, chemicals or frequent washdowns. The attachments allow accessories to be mounted or act as drag elements in conveyors. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with technical advice to select the right pitch and configuration.

The series designation combines the pitch number with the SS suffix. For example, RF2040-SS indicates a chain with pitch 40 (half an inch) in the stainless steel version; RF2050-SS corresponds to pitch 50 (5/8"), and so on up to RF2160-SS with pitch 160 (2"). The RF prefix identifies the roller construction with attachments, and the SS suffix indicates stainless steel. This nomenclature allows the size and corrosion resistance to be identified quickly.

These chains are used in industries where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are critical: food, chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment and industrial washdown. In Argentina, they are common in packaging lines, bottle conveyors, food processing equipment and drag systems in recycling plants. The attachments make it easy to install scrapers, buckets or guides, adapting to the specific configurations of each piece of equipment.

To select correctly, take into account the pitch, number of strands, type of attachment and working environment. Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, but it is important to verify compatibility with lubricants and the operating temperature. During installation, ensure precise alignment of the sprockets and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be the one recommended for corrosive environments, and it is essential to periodically check roller and plate wear.

As for equivalences, TSUBAKI chains in the RF series with the SS suffix follow ANSI standards, which makes them interchangeable with other brands that manufacture stainless steel roller chains with attachments. Always verify the pitch and critical dimensions before replacing a chain, since small differences can affect performance. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on compatibility with your current equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SS suffix mean on TSUBAKI chains?
The SS suffix indicates that the chain is made of stainless steel, which gives it corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for humid environments, frequent washdowns or exposure to chemical agents. Not all chains in the RF series have this version; the SS suffix is specific to corrosive applications.
How do I choose the right pitch for my application?
The pitch is selected according to the load to be transmitted, the speed and the available space. The RF series covers from pitch 40 to 160. It is important to consult a specialist to verify strength and performance. MR can advise you with your equipment data.
Are TSUBAKI SS chains interchangeable with other brands?
Because they follow the ANSI standard, TSUBAKI RF series chains with the SS suffix are interchangeable with other brands that manufacture stainless steel roller chains with attachments, as long as the pitch and dimensions match. Always verify the specifications before replacing.
