For drives and conveyors exposed to moisture, chemicals or frequent cleaning, the TSUBAKI RF PC-SY roller chain offers an ANSI-pitch design with a surface treatment that stands up to corrosion. Instead of a plain steel chain that rusts quickly, this version keeps joints moving in food plants, washdown zones, water treatment and similar settings. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it and can help you match the pitch and length to your equipment.

Reading the code helps you order the right part. RF signals an ANSI-pitch roller chain; the number that follows tells you the pitch size, which changes from one code to another. The PC-SY suffix marks the variant treated for corrosive service. When you request a quote, send the full code exactly as it appears on the machine or drawing.

These chains fit applications where water, chemicals or routine cleaning would attack standard steel components. You will see them in beverage and food processing, industrial washdown areas, water treatment, tanneries and process lines with acid vapors. They also work on conveyors and drives that get washed down regularly or operate outdoors. In those conditions, the treated chain keeps its joints free longer than an unprotected one.

Selection depends on pitch, strand count, overall length and sprocket type. Align the chain with the sprockets and set the correct tension: too tight speeds up wear, too loose lets the chain jump. Lubrication matters as well. In corrosive environments, choose a lubricant that works with the chain treatment and refresh it according to your washdown schedule. Before replacing, inspect sprocket wear and chain elongation.

When swapping out a chain, compare by pitch and chain type rather than by a single brand code. ANSI chains of the same pitch are often interchangeable between manufacturers, but anti-corrosion treatments and materials differ from one line to another. If your equipment carries a chain from another brand, send us the pitch, the number of strands and a photo of the sprocket. We will help you find the equivalent within the TSUBAKI line we carry.

If you already know the code, send it by WhatsApp to MR Industrial Accessories along with the number of meters or pitches required, and we will quote promptly. If the exact variant is unclear, write to us anyway. We can guide you toward the right pitch and treatment for your application.
