The TSUBAKI RS#B series roller chain with attachments is a power transmission component made up of roller links with welded side attachments. These attachments allow fixing accessories, guides or scrapers directly onto the chain, which makes it suitable for conveyors and drag systems. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its power transmission offering, backed by more than 80 years in the Argentine industrial market.
The RS#B series designation is interpreted as follows: the letters RS identify the metric pitch roller chain according to British standard, while the number that follows (08, 10, 12, 16, 20 in the examples) indicates the pitch size. The suffix B corresponds to the standard attachment variant. Thus, a code such as RS12B indicates a 12B pitch chain with attachments, and RS20B one with 20B pitch and the same type of accessory. This nomenclature allows quickly selecting the required size and configuration.
In Argentine industry, these chains are used in drag conveyors, bucket elevators, cleaning systems in food plants, bottling lines and material handling equipment. They also appear in the cement, mining and waste treatment industries, where the attachments make it easier to install scrapers or secure trays. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or moderate loads.
To correctly select a chain with attachments, take into account the pitch, the required tensile strength and the type of attachment (single or double). It is essential to verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be periodic and with the lubricant recommended according to speed and working temperature. If the environment is corrosive, evaluate coated or stainless steel versions, although that depends on the availability of each code.
As for equivalences, chains with attachments from different brands can be interchanged if the pitch, roller diameter and inner width match. However, it is not advisable to mix components from different manufacturers in the same transmission, because tolerances and heat treatments vary. For replacements, the safest approach is to compare the full designation and the critical dimensions. If you have doubts, ask us with the original code and we will help you identify the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the B suffix mean on the RS#B chain?
- The B suffix indicates that the chain is of the standard attachment type. These attachments are welded side plates that allow fixing accessories or guides. Do not confuse with the B suffix of some standards that indicates British pitch; in this case, the RS#B designation already includes that interpretation.
- Can I replace a chain with attachments from another brand with a TSUBAKI one?
- Yes, as long as the pitch, roller diameter and inner width match. It is advisable to replace the complete chain and check sprocket wear. If you need help finding the equivalence, send the original chain code via WhatsApp and we will advise you.
- What lubrication does a chain with attachments require?
- Lubrication depends on speed and load. In general, oil or grease of adequate viscosity is recommended, applied periodically to the pins and rollers. In dusty environments, use a lubricant that does not attract particles. Consult the equipment manual or contact us for a specific recommendation.
