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 humidity, acids or chemical agents attack carbon steel. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as a brand, with technical advice to choose the right pitch and configuration.

The RS B-SS designation reads as follows: RS identifies the roller chain with pitch per 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 -SS suffix indicates stainless steel, suitable for corrosive service. The attachments are additional side plates that allow scrapers, rakes or buckets to be fastened. When requesting a quote, send 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. They are also used in waste conveyors, bucket elevators and drag systems operating outdoors. In Argentina, they are commonly found in meatpacking plants, packaging plants and wastewater treatment facilities. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel extends service life compared with carbon steel, which rusts quickly in those environments.

To select the chain, take into account the pitch, the working load, the speed and the type of attachment your equipment needs. Stainless steel does not accept the same lubrication as carbon steel: use compatible lubricants or, if the process requires it, run dry with more frequent inspections. Check 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 on 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, the 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 the model shown on your equipment by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that information, the technical team identifies the variant and replies promptly. You can also ask about other configurations in the TSUBAKI line if your application requires a different pitch or material.
