The TSUBAKI RS B-NEP series roller chain is a metric-pitch transmission chain according to BS standard, manufactured with materials and treatments that resist corrosion. It is used to drive shafts and mechanisms in equipment exposed to humidity, vapors or frequent washdowns. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and helps you choose the pitch and number of strands for your application.

The series designation starts with RS, which identifies the BS-pitch roller chain line. The number that follows, as in RS08B or RS10B, indicates the pitch size: the higher the number, the larger the pitch and the greater the transmission capacity. The letters B correspond to the BS series, NEP indicates the version for corrosive environments and the last digit defines the number of strands: -1 is single and -2 is double. Thus, RS12B-NEP-1 is a single-strand 12B pitch chain with anti-corrosion treatment.

These chains are chosen in food and beverage plants, industrial washdown areas, water treatment, tanneries and sectors exposed to chemical agents or constant humidity. In Argentina you will find them in conveyors, packaging machines, washing equipment and transmission systems operating outdoors or in high-condensation areas. Corrosion resistance extends service life compared to conventional chains.

To select the chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the power to be transmitted and the sprocket speed. Verify that the sprocket is compatible with the BS pitch and that lubrication is suitable for a corrosive environment. Shaft alignment and correct tension prevent premature wear. If the equipment is exposed to washdowns, choose the NEP version and periodically check the condition of the rollers and pins.

BS-pitch roller chains are interchangeable between manufacturers that follow the same standard, as long as pitch, inner width and number of strands match. TSUBAKI is a benchmark brand in the market, and MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it as part of its power transmission line. If you need to replace an existing chain, compare the standardized dimensions and ask us about the equivalence with the code on the nameplate or in the equipment manual.

To request a quote, send us the complete code of the chain you need via WhatsApp, for example RS10B-NEP-2, and we will reply shortly. If you are not sure about the pitch or the number of strands, send us a photo of the old chain or the sprocket measurements and we will help you identify it. MR Accesorios Industriales has more than 80 years supporting Argentine industry with transmission components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does NEP mean in the TSUBAKI chain?
NEP identifies the chain version manufactured to resist corrosive environments. It is used in equipment with humidity, vapors or frequent washdowns. It does not change the pitch or the number of strands, only the treatment of the components to extend service life.
How do I choose between a single and a double chain?
The number of strands depends on the power to be transmitted and the available space. The single (-1) is used in light or medium transmissions; the double (-2) allows greater capacity with the same pitch. Send us your equipment data and we will advise you.
What data do I need to request a quote for an RS B-NEP chain?
Send the complete code shown on the chain or in the manual, for example RS08B-NEP-1. If you do not have it, indicate the pitch, the number of strands and the number of links or the center distance. With that we will quote you shortly.
