The TSUBAKI RS B-NEP attachment chain is a metric-pitch roller chain with attachments welded to the outer plates, made of stainless steel to withstand corrosive environments. It is used to convey bulk materials or parts in processes where there is moisture, vapors or frequent washdowns. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the right pitch and configuration.
The designation RS B-NEP reads as follows: RS identifies the metric-pitch roller chain; the number that follows —08, 10, 12, 16 or 20— indicates the pitch according to the BS standard, and B corresponds to the European series. The suffix NEP indicates the version with attachments and stainless steel for corrosive service. Therefore, an RS12B-NEP is not interchangeable with a chain without attachments of the same pitch: the function and the material change.
These chains are used in bulk material conveying, bucket elevators, industrial washing machines, water treatment plants, food and chemical industries, and process lines exposed to moisture or corrosive agents. In Argentina, they are common in sugar mills, meatpacking plants, tanneries and effluent treatment plants, where carbon steel degrades quickly and a durable alternative is needed.
To select the chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the length and the type of attachment. During installation, check sprocket alignment, correct tension and proper lubrication for stainless steel. Also check the wear of sprockets and guides: a new chain on worn components shortens its service life. If the environment is very aggressive, consider additional protections.
Attachment chains from different brands may differ in material, surface treatment and tolerances. Even if the pitch and dimensions follow the BS standard, do not take interchangeability for granted: always compare the complete designation and the manufacturer's specifications. If you need to replace an existing chain, send us the code stamped on the plates or the main dimensions.
To request a quote for an RS B-NEP attachment chain, write to us on WhatsApp with the complete code —for example, RS16B-NEP— and the number of meters or pitches you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the NEP suffix mean in the RS B-NEP chain?
- The NEP suffix indicates that the chain has attachments welded to the outer plates and is made of stainless steel to withstand corrosive environments. It is not a standard transmission chain: it is designed for conveying and elevating under aggressive conditions.
- How do I choose the right pitch for my application?
- The pitch is chosen according to the load, speed and available space. Small pitches such as 08B or 10B work for light loads; larger pitches such as 16B or 20B support more weight. Send us your equipment data and we will help you determine the most suitable one.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with a TSUBAKI RS B-NEP?
- Yes, as long as the pitch, the number of strands and the type of attachment match. Check that the roller and plate dimensions are compatible with your sprockets. If you have the original chain code, send it to us and we will compare it with the TSUBAKI line.
