For drive systems exposed to moisture, frequent cleaning or chemical contact, the TSUBAKI RS B-NP roller chain offers a corrosion-resistant option. This metric-pitch chain follows the BS standard and is built with materials and treatments that withstand harsh conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it across the United States and Latin America, with technical support to help you select the right pitch and strand count.

Decoding the RS B-NP series: RS stands for the TSUBAKI roller chain family. The following number—08, 10, or 12—specifies the pitch under BS standard. The letter B confirms that standard. NP denotes the anti-corrosion version. The final digit—1, 2, or 3—tells you whether the chain is single, double, or triple strand. So RS08B-NP-1 is single strand, RS08B-NP-2 is double strand, and RS10B-NP-3 is triple strand. The full code captures pitch, standard, and strand count.

These chains suit operations where washdown and humidity are routine: food and beverage processing, meat plants, industrial laundries, surface treatment, paper mills, and water treatment facilities. They also work in equipment exposed to weather or chemical vapors, such as conveyors, elevators, packaging machines, and drives in condensation-prone areas.

When selecting a chain, begin with the pitch required by your sprocket, then determine the number of strands based on load and available width. Confirm that the sprocket matches the BS standard and pitch. During installation, check shaft alignment and tension: excessive tightness speeds wear, while too much slack causes jumping. Use a lubricant suited to humid environments and verify that the sealing or anti-corrosion protection fits the exposure level.

Roller chains are specified by standard, pitch, and strand count. When comparing brands, pitch alone is insufficient: check that the standard (BS, ANSI, or other), roller diameter, and inner width align. A chain from another maker with the same pitch may not be interchangeable if the roller or width differs. For replacements, compare the complete code and critical dimensions before mounting.

If you need a chain for equipment in a corrosive setting, send the code or model via WhatsApp to MR Industrial Accessories. We will identify the series, pitch, and strand count, and respond promptly.
