The TSUBAKI roller chain of the RS B-PC line is designed for drives where corrosion attacks conventional steel components. Its construction combines plates, pins and bushings with treatments that resist humidity, splashes and aggressive vapors, maintaining the pitch and geometry of the BS series. It is used in equipment that works outdoors or in plants with frequent washdowns, where a standard chain rusts and seizes within a few cycles.

The designation of these chains is read in parts. RS identifies the TSUBAKI roller line; the number that follows —08, 10, 12 in the examples— defines the pitch according to the BS series. B corresponds to that British standard of pitch and width. PC indicates the anti-corrosion protection of the assembly. The last digit indicates whether it is single, double or triple: in RS08B-PC-1, RS10B-PC-1 and RS12B-PC-1 the 1 confirms a single-strand chain. Send the complete code to quote the exact variant.

In Argentina these chains appear in water treatment plants, industrial laundries, meat processing plants and packaging areas with permanent washdown. Also in outdoor equipment: aggregate conveyors, maneuvering yards and irrigation systems. The chemical and food industries choose them when there are acid vapors or high-pressure water cleaning. In all those cases, the corrosive environment is what defines the service life, not the transmitted load.

To select well, first look at the pitch and the number of strands your machine needs. Then evaluate the environment: if there is constant humidity or chemical agents, the PC line makes sense; if the environment is dry and clean, a standard chain performs the same. During installation, check the alignment of the sprockets and the correct tension: a corroded chain does not forgive misalignments. Lubrication also matters: use the lubricant compatible with the environment and renew it according to the duty cycle.

BS chains from different brands share pitch and geometry, so an RS B-PC can be interchanged with another chain of the same pitch and number of strands, as long as the anti-corrosion treatment is equivalent. Do not mix links from different manufacturers within the same run: manufacturing tolerances vary and wear accelerates. If you need to replace a run, the safest option is to change the complete chain and check the condition of the sprockets.

If you have the chain code —for example RS10B-PC-1— send it on WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you shortly. You can also ask about compatible sprockets, lubricants for corrosive environments and installation tools. At MR we know the typical applications of each line and help you choose the variant that best suits your equipment.
