TSUBAKI BS standard attachment chains merge roller chain power transmission with conveyor functionality. Attachments, either welded or riveted to the links, enable accessory mounting, material dragging, or mechanism synchronization. Common applications include production lines, packaging machinery, and material handling systems.
The part number structure helps you identify the chain. In RF08B-1, RF stands for roller chain with attachments. The two digits that follow (08, 10, 12, 16) indicate the pitch in eighths of an inch per BS standard. The letter B denotes the British series, and the final digit shows the number of strands. For instance, RF08B-1 is a single-strand chain with 1/2" pitch, while RF10B-2 is a double-strand chain with 5/8" pitch. Suffixes for center guide or special attachments are verified by part number.
These chains are found in accumulation conveyors, packaging machines, drag systems in meat plants, and automotive assembly lines. They also appear in baking equipment, ceramic production, and aggregate processing. Their capacity to handle side loads and secure devices makes them suitable where a standard roller chain falls short.
When selecting, consider pitch, strand count, and attachment type. Verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to prevent premature wear. Lubricate periodically with a lubricant suited to speed and operating temperature. Open chains do not require sealing, but cleaning is essential to avoid abrasion.
TSUBAKI BS standard attachment chains are interchangeable with other brands following the same standard, as long as pitch, inner width, and strand count match. For a quote, provide the complete part number and, if available, critical dimensions or pitch. This ensures an accurate equivalent alternative.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the RF08B-1 designation mean?
- RF indicates attachment chain, 08 is the pitch in eighths of an inch (1"), B corresponds to the British series, and 1 means single strand. This standardized nomenclature simplifies identification.
- How do I choose between a single and a double chain?
- The choice depends on the load to be transmitted and the available space. Double-strand chains handle higher loads but require wider sprockets. Contact us with your application data for guidance.
- What lubrication do these chains need?
- Periodic lubrication with oil or grease suited to the speed and temperature is recommended. In dirty environments, clean before lubricating. The frequency depends on the working conditions.
