The TSUBAKI LMD-KF series roller chain is a power transmission component designed to last longer and require less maintenance. Its self-lubricating construction makes it ideal for applications where periodic re-lubrication is difficult or impossible. It is used in industrial equipment operating at moderate speeds and high loads, and is a reliable option to replace conventional chains in demanding environments.

The LMD-KF series designation reads as follows: RS indicates an ANSI-pitch roller chain, the number that follows (40, 50, 60, 80) defines the pitch and strength, and LMD-KF identifies the self-lubricating version from Tsubaki. The last digit (1 or 2) indicates whether it is single or double strand. For example, RS40-LMD-KF-1 is single strand pitch 40, while RS50-LMD-KF-2 is double strand pitch 50. This nomenclature lets you order the exact part number without ambiguity.

In Argentine industry, these chains are used in conveyors, elevators, machine tools, packaging equipment and production lines where access for lubrication is limited. They are also common in the food industry, since internal lubrication reduces the risk of contamination. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to replace standard chains in applications where the goal is to extend service life and reduce maintenance downtime.

To select the correct chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the type of lubrication. The LMD-KF series comes with solid lubricant built into the pins and bushings, which eliminates the need for re-lubrication. It is important to verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. If the environment is very dirty or humid, ask about options with additional sealing.

TSUBAKI LMD-KF series chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ANSI standard in terms of pitch and dimensions. However, the LMD-KF designation is specific to Tsubaki, so when looking for equivalents in other brands you will find self-lubricating chains with their own part numbers. Always verify the pitch and number of strands before replacing. If you have doubts, send us the original part number and we will advise you.

To request a quote for the chain you need, write to us on WhatsApp with the complete part number (for example, RS60-LMD-KF-1) or with the characteristics of your equipment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we reply promptly with availability and the alternatives that best suit your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does LMD-KF mean in the chain designation?
LMD-KF identifies the self-lubricating version from Tsubaki, which incorporates solid lubricant in the pins and bushings. This reduces the need for re-lubrication and extends service life in applications where maintenance is difficult.
How do I choose between a single and a double strand chain?
The choice depends on the load and the available space. The double strand (suffix 2) supports more load than the single strand (suffix 1) for the same pitch. Verify the power to be transmitted and the sprocket dimensions.
Can I replace a standard chain with an LMD-KF?
Yes, as long as the pitch and number of strands match. The LMD-KF series is dimensionally interchangeable with conventional ANSI chains, but offers the advantage of self-lubrication. Consult us about your particular case.
