The TSUBAKI SS series roller chain is a stainless steel transmission chain, designed to work in corrosive environments where a standard chain would degrade quickly. It is used in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in any application with frequent washdowns or exposure to aggressive agents. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and helps you choose the correct pitch and configuration for your equipment.

The SS series designation is read in parts. The letters RS identify the ANSI pitch roller chain; the number that follows indicates the pitch (for example, RS40 corresponds to a 1/2" pitch and RS50 to 5/8"). The SS suffix indicates the stainless steel construction. The last number indicates the number of strands: 1 for single, 2 for double. Thus, RS40-SS-1 is a 1/2" pitch stainless steel single-strand chain, and RS40-SS-2 is the double-strand version. This nomenclature lets you quickly identify the chain you need.

In Argentina, these chains are seen in packaging lines, industrial washers, cooling tunnels, bottle conveyors and food processing equipment. They are also used in chemical plants and in applications where there is steam, mild acids or high-pressure water cleaning. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel extends service life compared with carbon steel chains, which in those environments rust and contaminate the product.

To select well, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the required length. Verify that the sprockets are compatible with the ANSI pitch and that they are in good condition: a worn sprocket accelerates chain wear. Lubrication also matters: in corrosive environments it is advisable to use lubricants suitable for food contact or directly self-lubricating chains. Check shaft alignment and tension: a poorly tensioned or misaligned chain fails earlier. If there are frequent washdowns, consider the SS series as the first option.

TSUBAKI SS series chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ANSI standard in terms of pitch and dimensions. If you need to replace an existing chain, the safest approach is to compare the pitch, inner width and roller diameter. Often the original chain code matches the RS designation. If you have doubts, send us a photo or the code stamped on the plate and we will help you identify the equivalent.
