The TSUBAKI RF PC-SY roller chain is an ANSI chain manufactured to work in corrosive environments. Its construction combines steel with coatings that resist humidity, washdowns and acid vapors, so it is used in plants where a standard chain rusts in a short time. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and helps you choose the pitch and length for your transmission.
The series designation is read in parts. The letters RF identify the ANSI-pitch roller chain; the number that follows indicates the pitch size: for example, RF40 PC-SY, RF50 PC-SY and RF60 PC-SY are three different pitches of the same family. The suffix PC-SY indicates the version with treatment for service in corrosive environments. To order it, provide the complete part number as it appears on your equipment or drawing.
These chains are used in industries where water, chemicals or frequent cleaning attack steel components. They appear in food and beverage plants, industrial wash bays, water treatment, tanneries and process areas with acid vapors. Also in conveyors and transmissions that receive periodic washdowns or work outdoors. In those environments, the RF PC-SY chain keeps the joint free for longer than an unprotected chain.
To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the total length and the type of sprocket. The chain must be aligned with the sprockets and at the correct tension: excessive tension accelerates wear and low tension makes the chain jump. Lubrication also matters: in corrosive environments it is best to use a lubricant compatible with the chain treatment and renew it according to the washdown schedule. Check sprocket wear and elongation before replacing.
When replacing, always compare by pitch and chain type, not only by one brand's part number. ANSI chains of the same pitch are usually interchangeable between manufacturers, but anti-corrosion treatments and materials vary from one line to another. If your equipment has a chain from another brand, send us the pitch, the number of strands and a photo of the sprocket: we will help you find the equivalent within the TSUBAKI line we sell.
If you already have the part number, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales along with the number of meters or pitches you need. With that information we will send you a quote shortly. If you cannot find the exact variant, write to us anyway: we can guide you on the right pitch and treatment for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the PC-SY suffix mean on the TSUBAKI RF chain?
- The PC-SY suffix identifies the version of the RF chain prepared for corrosive environments. It keeps the ANSI geometry of the corresponding pitch, but incorporates a surface treatment that resists humidity, washdowns and aggressive vapors better than an unprotected steel chain.
- How do I order an RF40, RF50 or RF60 chain by WhatsApp?
- Write to us with the complete part number, for example RF50 PC-SY, and specify the number of meters or pitches you need. If you do not have the part number, provide the pitch, the number of strands and the type of sprocket. With that information we will quote you shortly.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with a TSUBAKI RF PC-SY?
- In general yes, if the ANSI pitch and the number of strands match. Keep in mind that anti-corrosion treatments and materials vary between lines. Send us the original chain part number and the sprocket measurements so we can verify the equivalence before quoting.
