Optimizing Production Lines with Next-Generation Stainless Steel Chain Solutions from Tsubaki

In industrial manufacturing, especially in sectors with strict hygiene requirements or corrosive environments, stainless steel chains are an indispensable choice. However, the two biggest challenges that operations engineers frequently face are: rapid chain elongation due to wear and insufficient strength to increase productivity.

Recognizing these challenges, Tsubaki has upgraded and introduced new Stainless Steel chain series, delivering breakthroughs in both service life and load capacity.

1. New SS Series: Double the Life, Reliable Operation

The standard SS Series has undergone a significant upgrade. The most pivotal improvement lies in the seamless bush structure, which replaces the previous split bush design.

• Wear Life: Increased by 2 times compared to the previous SS Series.

• Maximum Allowable Load: Increased by 1.5 times, ensuring more stable system operation under high pressure.

• Applications: Ideal for both drive chains and small-size conveyor chains (ranging from RS40 to RS100).

This is the perfect replacement for the previous AS Series, offering equivalent or superior performance while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance.

2. HS Series: A "Boost" for Superior Productivity

If your business is planning to increase output by boosting conveyor speed or load capacity, the HS Series is your definitive answer.

By utilizing 13Cr stainless steel for the pins, bushes, and rollers, Tsubaki has engineered a chain with incredible strength:

• Maximum Allowable Load: 2.7 times higher than the previous SS Series.

• Wear Life: An exceptional 3 to 6 times longer, significantly minimizing downtime for maintenance or chain replacement.

3. The Indispensable Duo: Wear-Resistant Sprockets



A common mistake is pairing high-end chains with standard sprockets. Tsubaki highly recommends using the Wear-resistant Stainless Steel Sprocket series, which features a special surface treatment.

This synchronized combination extends sprocket life by 2.5 times, preventing premature sprocket wear when operating alongside heavy-duty chains like the HS Series.

Making the Right Choice to Lead

Investing in the right chain not only protects your equipment but also directly reduces long-term operating costs.

• Choose the New SS Series for versatile applications with optimized costs.

• Choose the HS Series when absolute strength and the highest wear resistance are required.
