The TSUBAKI RS B-LM attachment chain is a power transmission component that incorporates extended side plates, called attachments, to mount accessories or pull loads. It is used in conveyors, elevators and linear motion systems where a roller chain with anchoring points is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with technical advice to select the right pitch and configuration.
The RS B-LM designation is read in parts: RS identifies the metric-pitch roller chain according to ISO 606, the number that follows —08, 10, 12, 16— indicates the pitch size, and B corresponds to the European roller series. The -LM suffix indicates that the chain comes with attachments and Lambda lubrication. Examples RS08B-LM, RS10B-LM, RS12B-LM and RS16B-LM show increasing pitches: the higher the number, the larger the pitch and load capacity. Attachments can be single or double depending on the model, and are located on one or both side plates.
These chains are used in industries that need to move materials or parts precisely: food, cement, automotive, logistics and general manufacturing. In Argentina they are commonly seen in modular belt conveyors, bucket elevators, drag systems in packaging lines and special machines where the chain must hold or push a product. They are also used in linear motion applications with carriages and in equipment where the feed must be synchronized with an accessory mounted on the attachment.
To select the correct chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the type of attachment (single or double) and the position of the attachments. Lambda lubrication is a solid lubricant layer that reduces maintenance and allows operation in environments where conventional oil is not viable. Check sprocket alignment, proper tension and sealing of the environment. If the equipment operates at extreme temperatures or with dirt, ask about variants with special treatments. Installation must respect the direction of rotation and the axial clearance recommended by the manufacturer.
Attachment roller chains can be interchanged between brands if the pitch, roller diameter, inner width and manufacturing standard match. TSUBAKI is a global reference, and equivalent products from other European and Asian brands exist in the local market. Interchangeability is not always direct: verify tensile strength, lubrication type and attachment geometry before replacing. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on compatibility without compromising equipment performance.
If you need an attachment chain for your application, send the part number or model shown on the equipment plate via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data, the technical team will reply shortly with the alternative that best suits your transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the -LM suffix mean in the RS B-LM chain?
- The -LM suffix indicates that the chain incorporates Lambda lubrication, a treatment that reduces the need for external lubrication. This makes it suitable for applications where maintenance is limited or the environment is demanding. It does not change the pitch or load capacity of the chain.
- How do I choose between a single or double attachment chain?
- The choice depends on the accessory you are going to mount and the available space. Single attachments are used for one anchoring point; double attachments allow mounting two accessories or increasing the pulling surface. Send the dimensions of your equipment and we will advise you.
- Can I replace a TSUBAKI chain with another brand?
- Yes, if the pitch, roller diameter, inner width and standard match. It is still advisable to verify tensile strength and lubrication type. Send the original chain part number and we will indicate compatible alternatives.
