The TSUBAKI RS B-SS attachment chain is a stainless steel roller chain with welded side attachments, designed to work in corrosive environments or with frequent washdowns. It is used to convey, elevate or drag materials in plants where moisture, acids or chemical agents attack carbon steel. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right pitch and configuration.

The designation RS B-SS is read as follows: RS identifies the roller chain with pitch according to BS standard; the number that follows — for example, in RS08B-SS, RS10B-SS, RS12B-SS or RS16B-SS — indicates the pitch size, which increases with the number. The suffix -SS indicates stainless steel, suitable for corrosive service. The attachments are additional side plates that allow fixing scrapers, rakes or buckets. When requesting a quote, provide the full part number so that MR Accesorios Industriales can identify the exact chain.

These chains are found in water treatment plants, food and beverage industries, industrial washdown areas, tanneries and chemical processes where there are vapors, brines or high-pressure water cleaning. Also in waste conveyors, bucket elevators and drag systems operating outdoors. In Argentina, they are commonly found in cold storage plants, packaging plants and treatment plants. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel extends service life compared to carbon steel, which rusts quickly in those environments.

To select the chain, consider the pitch, working load, speed and the type of attachment your equipment needs. Stainless steel does not accept the same lubrication as carbon: use compatible lubricants or, if the process requires it, operate dry with more frequent inspections. Verify sprocket alignment and correct tension; a misaligned attachment chain wears sprockets and guides. Also check the sealing of the environment: although stainless steel resists, abrasive dirt accelerates wear of pins and bushings.

Roller chains with attachments are available in different brands and standards. Interchangeability between manufacturers is not automatic: even if the pitch matches, roller diameter, inner width and attachment position may vary. Therefore, before replacing a chain, compare the critical dimensions with the original part or consult with the supplier. The BS standard is a starting point, but dimensional verification prevents downtime and breakage.

If you need an attachment chain for a corrosive environment, send the part number or model shown on your equipment by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data, the technical team identifies the variant and responds promptly. You can also ask about other configurations in the TSUBAKI line if your application requires a different pitch or material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -SS suffix mean in the RS B-SS chain?
The -SS suffix indicates stainless steel. It is a chain designed for corrosive environments, with washdowns or chemical vapors, where carbon steel would rust quickly. It does not mean it is unbreakable: it requires compatible lubrication and maintenance according to the process.
How do I choose the correct pitch for my conveyor?
The pitch is tied to the load and speed of your equipment. If you are replacing an existing chain, take the stamped part number or measure the pitch between rollers. With that data and the sprocket dimensions, we define the variant. Contact us on WhatsApp.
Can I replace a chain from another brand with this TSUBAKI one?
Sometimes yes, but matching pitch is not enough. You must compare roller diameter, inner width and attachment location. Send us the measurements of the original chain and we will tell you if the RS B-SS is compatible.
