Description
TSUBAKI RF06B-SS-2 belongs to roller chain, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for RF06B-SS-2 and any equivalents.
The TSUBAKI RF B-SS series is a stainless steel roller chain engineered for power transmission in corrosive conditions. It suits equipment exposed to moisture, frequent washdowns, or chemical agents, providing an alternative to standard carbon steel chains in such settings.
The part number follows a clear pattern: RF designates a roller chain, the following number indicates the pitch according to the BS standard, and SS confirms stainless steel construction. A final digit specifies the strand count—1 for single strand, 2 for double strand. For example, RF06B-SS-1 and RF06B-SS-2 share pitch and material but differ in capacity.
Common applications include food and beverage processing, industrial laundries, chemical handling, and cold storage, where chains face regular cleaning or corrosive atmospheres. They also appear in packaging lines, wet part conveyors, and outdoor machinery. In these environments, stainless steel helps maintain chain integrity over time.
When selecting, confirm the pitch, strand count, and required length in pitches. Proper sprocket alignment and tensioning reduce wear and extend service life. For lubrication in corrosive settings, use a product compatible with stainless steel and verify protection against chemical exposure. Consult the team if washdown chemicals are involved.
BS stainless steel chains are dimensionally interchangeable across brands when pitch and strand count match, though material quality and surface treatment may differ. Mixing chains from different manufacturers in one drive is not recommended without confirming roller and pitch compatibility. Send the complete part number for verification.
To request a quote, provide the part number or model via WhatsApp or email. If unavailable, share the pitch, strand count, and approximate length. The team responds promptly and can suggest equivalents or help choose the right chain for the application.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the SS suffix indicate in a TSUBAKI RF chain?
- SS indicates stainless steel construction, intended for corrosive environments where carbon steel would degrade. The rest of the designation—RF, the pitch number, and the strand digit—remains the same as standard versions.
- How do I decide between a single and double strand chain?
- The strand count depends on the load and space constraints. A single strand (-1) suits lighter drives, while a double strand (-2) offers higher capacity at the same pitch. Provide equipment details for guidance.
- Can a TSUBAKI RF B-SS replace a chain from another brand?
- Yes, if the pitch, strand count, and roller type match. BS chains are interchangeable dimensionally, but material and treatment vary. Send the original part number to confirm equivalence.
