The TSUBAKI RF06B-NEP is a roller chain with side attachments, built for power transmission and material handling in corrosive settings. It links sprocket and chain positively, so it can drag, lift or guide parts along a process line. Where a standard chain would deteriorate quickly, this variant is intended to hold up.

Reading the code helps when specifying or replacing. RF marks the British-standard roller chain line. The number that follows, 06B, sets the pitch size and the series strength. NEP is the suffix for the attachment version with treatment for corrosive service. In RF06B-NEP, that is the full combination: RF line, size 06B, NEP finish. Change the number for another size in the same family; the rest of the code stays the same.

Typical installations include conveyors in food processing, parts washers, cooling tunnels, packaging equipment, and any area with moisture, steam or cleaning chemicals. Drag mechanisms in chemical plants, tanneries and surface treatment lines also use them. The side attachments let you bolt on rakes, plates or crossbars that push material along. A plain roller chain would need extra parts to do the same job.

Selection starts with the sprocket pitch and the load to be moved. Then choose material and treatment to match the environment. In corrosive duty, lubrication matters: the lubricant must reach pins and bushings and be compatible with the cleaning process. Check sprocket alignment and chain tension to avoid uneven wear and skipping. If washing is frequent, review how often you lubricate and how the mounting is sealed.

Attachment chains from different makers can be swapped when pitch, roller diameter, inner width and strand count match. The British-standard code makes comparison easier, but each brand's suffix may signal a different material or anti-corrosion treatment. Before substituting one chain for another, confirm the pitch and the sprocket it will run on. If anything is unclear, send the full part number and the equipment dimensions.
