The TSUBAKI RS-PC series roller chain is a power transmission chain manufactured with materials and treatments that resist corrosion, designed for environments where humidity, frequent washdowns or chemical agents shorten the life of a conventional chain. It is used in transmission equipment operating under demanding conditions and requires careful selection of pitch and configuration according to the installation.

The RS-PC series designation is read in parts: RS identifies the ANSI-pitch roller chain, the number that follows indicates the pitch size (for example, RS40-PC-1 corresponds to a 1/2" pitch and RS50-PC-1 to 5/8"), and the PC suffix indicates the version for corrosive environments. The last digit indicates the number of strands: 1 for single, 2 for double. Thus, RS25-PC-1 is a single-strand chain with 1/4" pitch, while RS60-PC-1 is single-strand with 3/4" pitch. Understanding this logic lets you order the correct part number without ambiguity.

These chains are used in industries where corrosion is a critical factor: food and beverage plants with daily washdowns, industrial laundries, surface treatment, chemical industry, paper mills and tanneries. Also in equipment exposed to the weather or corrosive vapors, such as conveyors, mixers, pumps and fans. In Argentina, MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to replace standard chains that fail prematurely due to rust.

To select an RS-PC chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the length and the type of sprocket. Corrosion resistance does not exempt you from proper lubrication: use a lubricant compatible with the environment and with the chain materials. Check shaft alignment and correct tension to avoid irregular wear. If the environment has extreme temperatures or specific chemicals, consult us before defining the model.

TSUBAKI RS-PC series chains can be interchanged with chains from other brands that follow the ANSI standard and have the same pitch and number of strands, although the level of anti-corrosion protection varies by manufacturer. When replacing, compare not only the part number but also the surface treatment and the roller material. If you need an equivalent, send us the part number of the original chain and we will advise you.
