The TSUBAKI RS-KT series roller chain is built for power transmission in cold environments, where standard chains may become brittle or lose flexibility. It connects shafts and transfers motion between sprockets in equipment exposed to severe cold, such as freezer rooms, cold tunnels, and outdoor installations.
The chain code starts with RS followed by a number that indicates the pitch. Smaller numbers like RS35-KT and RS40-KT denote smaller pitches, while larger numbers such as RS120-KT and RS140-KT denote larger pitches. The KT suffix identifies the low-temperature variant. As the number increases, so does the chain's strength. If your equipment uses an intermediate pitch, such as RS50-KT, RS60-KT, RS80-KT, or RS100-KT, the same numbering system helps you find the right chain quickly.
In US industry, these chains are common in cold storage warehouses, freezing tunnels, low-temperature packaging lines, industrial refrigeration systems, and conveyors operating outdoors in cold regions. They also appear in food processing plants, meatpacking facilities, and logistics centers where subzero temperatures are maintained and a chain that resists stiffening and embrittlement is required.
When selecting a chain of this type, consider the pitch and sprocket tooth count, the transmitted load, the center distance, and available lubrication. In low-temperature applications, verify that the lubricant is rated for the temperature range, check sprocket alignment, and confirm initial tension. Sealing and cleanliness of the environment also affect the service life of the assembly.
Roller chains from different brands can often be interchanged by pitch number and number of strands, but manufacturers may vary heat treatment, materials, and factory lubricant. Before substituting one chain for another, compare the pitch, inner width, and roller type. If you are unsure, send us the code or model shown on your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the KT suffix mean on a TSUBAKI chain?
- The KT suffix identifies the low-temperature variant within the TSUBAKI roller chain family. To determine if it suits your equipment, compare the pitch, width, and operating conditions with those of the original chain.
- How do I choose the pitch of an RS-KT chain?
- The pitch is chosen based on your sprocket and transmission. Lower numbers like RS35 or RS40 correspond to smaller pitches, and higher numbers like RS120 or RS140 to larger pitches. Send us your chain code and we will advise you.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with an RS-KT?
- Generally yes, if the pitch, number of strands, and inner width match. Each manufacturer may vary material and treatment, so it is advisable to verify that data before installing. Write to us by WhatsApp with the code and we will help you compare.
