The TSUBAKI lubrication-free attachment chain uses attachments fixed to the links to drag, lift or convey materials. Because it runs without conventional oil, it suits applications where dripping lubricant is not acceptable, such as food processing or equipment with limited maintenance access. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line with technical support to match pitch and configuration to your equipment.

The part number breaks down into segments. RF stands for roller chain. The number that follows, such as 08B, 10B, 12B or 16B, is the pitch under British standard. LM marks the lubrication-free version. The ending -1 or -2 tells you whether the chain is single or double strand. So RF08B-LM-1 is 08B pitch, lubrication-free, single strand; RF10B-LM-2 is 10B pitch, lubrication-free, double strand. Reading the code this way makes it easier to request a quote.

Typical installations include drag conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting systems and packaging lines. They are common in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and material handling operations where cleanliness matters and conventional lubricant is a concern. Bakery equipment, cold storage rooms and processing plants that need positive drag without oil contamination also use them.

Selection depends on pitch, number of strands, attachment type and the working environment. The lubrication-free design is intended for moderate speeds and loads that do not call for continuous lubrication. At assembly, verify sprocket alignment, correct tension and roller condition. Cleaning and wear checks at regular intervals help extend service life, particularly in dusty or humid areas.

Lubrication-free attachment chains can interchange with other brands that follow the British standard for pitches 08B through 16B, as long as pitch, strand count and attachment type match. Not every brand offers a lubrication-free option, so equivalence should be confirmed case by case. MR Industrial Accessories can review options within its power transmission line.

Frequently asked questions

What does LM mean in these chain designations?
LM indicates the chain is lubrication-free and does not need conventional lubricant to run. This makes it suitable where oil dripping is a problem, such as in food processing. The remaining characters give the pitch and the number of strands.
How do I decide between a single and double strand chain?
It depends on the load to be transmitted and the space available. A double strand handles higher loads but needs wider sprockets. If your original equipment uses single strand, an equivalent single strand is likely the direct replacement. Send us the code for advice.
Can a lubrication-free attachment chain be replaced with a conventional one?
Sometimes, but remember the lubrication-free version is designed to avoid contamination. If the environment permits, a conventional chain can work, though it will need periodic lubrication. For food or pharmaceutical applications, keeping the lubrication-free version is recommended.
