For drives that operate around moisture, washdowns or chemical exposure, the TSUBAKI RF NP series roller chain is a metric pitch option built to handle those conditions. It links parallel shafts in machinery where a standard chain would deteriorate quickly. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this chain to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries, and can help you confirm the right pitch and strand count for your equipment.
The code breaks down into clear segments. The RF prefix denotes a metric pitch roller chain manufactured to BS standard, while the number that follows specifies the pitch—for instance, 06B is a 3/8" pitch. The final digit tells you the number of strands, which may be single, double or triple depending on the exact code. Reading it this way lets you identify size and configuration immediately.
You will find these chains in food and beverage plants that undergo frequent washdowns, industrial laundries, water treatment facilities, chemical operations, tanneries and outdoor equipment. They appear in conveyors, mixers, pump and fan drives, and packaging lines where water or cleaning agents are present daily.
When selecting a chain, consider the pitch, the number of strands and the total length measured in pitches. The NP version offers corrosion resistance, but it is not a substitute for a stainless steel chain in severely aggressive settings. Confirm that sprockets are aligned, tension is correct and lubrication suits the environment; using a compatible lubricant can help extend service life even in humid conditions.
Metric pitch BS roller chains can be interchanged among manufacturers that follow the same standard, as long as pitch, inner width and strand count are identical. For a quote, provide the complete code or the pitch and width measurements to prevent mix-ups. If your machine currently uses an equivalent chain from another brand, we can assist in finding the matching item.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the NP suffix indicate on a TSUBAKI chain?
- NP designates the anti-corrosion version of the RF series. It is intended for environments with humidity or substances that attack carbon steel. While not equivalent to a stainless steel chain, it provides better corrosion resistance than a standard chain.
- How do I decide between single, double or triple strand?
- The number of strands relates to the load the drive needs to transmit. More strands mean greater transmission capacity for the same pitch. If you are unsure, share your equipment details and we will help you choose the appropriate configuration.
- What information is needed to quote an RF NP chain?
- It is best to send the full code (for example, RF06B-NP-1), the number of pitches or total length, and whether it is for replacement or new equipment. With those details, we can quote you promptly via WhatsApp.
