The TSUBAKI RS B-LMX series roller chain is a metric-pitch transmission chain according to BS standard, manufactured with surface treatment and special lubrication for applications where maintenance is limited. It is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts in industrial equipment, with good performance in demanding environments. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct pitch and configuration.
The series designation combines the nominal pitch in inches with the chain type and its configuration. For example, RS08B-LMX-1 indicates pitch 08B (half inch), single-strand roller chain and the LMX variant with long-life lubrication. RS10B-LMX-1 and RS12B-LMX-1 follow the same logic with larger pitches, and RS16B-LMX-1 corresponds to an even larger pitch. The final numeric suffix indicates the number of strands: 1 for single. This nomenclature lets you quickly identify the size and execution.
In Argentine industry, these chains are found in conveyors in food plants, packaging lines, textile machines, bottling equipment and agricultural machinery drives. They are also used in the wood industry and in lifting systems. As part of the power transmission family, they are combined with sprockets of equivalent pitch and mounted on parallel shafts. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them for replacement and new projects throughout the country.
To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the required length, which is defined by the number of links. The LMX variant already incorporates long-life lubrication, designed for extended maintenance intervals. Check the alignment of the sprockets and the correct tension: a chain that is too tight accelerates wear and one that is too loose jumps. Also check the condition of the sprockets, because a worn sprocket shortens the life of the new chain.
Standardized BS roller chains are interchangeable between manufacturers that comply with the same standard and pitch. If you need to replace an existing chain, the key data is the pitch and the number of strands; with that, the equivalent can be found. Not all lubrication or treatment variants are equivalent between brands, so it is advisable to verify the application. If you have doubts, send the part number or the pitch marked on the old chain and we will compare it.
