TSUBAKI's RS B-PC roller chain line is built for drives where standard steel components would fall victim to corrosion. The plates, pins and bushings receive treatments that stand up to moisture, splashes and harsh vapors, while the pitch and geometry stay true to the BS series. You will find these chains in outdoor equipment or in plants that undergo frequent washdowns, where an untreated chain would rust and seize after just a few cycles.

Reading the chain code is straightforward once you know the parts. RS marks the TSUBAKI roller chain family; the following number —08, 10, 12 in our examples— sets the pitch per the BS series. B refers to that British standard for pitch and width. PC signals the anti-corrosion protection applied to the assembly. The final digit tells you the strand count: in RS08B-PC-1, RS10B-PC-1 and RS12B-PC-1 the 1 confirms a single-strand chain. Quote the exact variant by sending the complete code.

Typical installations include water treatment plants, industrial laundries, meat processing facilities and packaging lines with constant washdown. You will also see them on outdoor equipment such as aggregate conveyors, maneuvering yards and irrigation systems. Chemical and food industry operations often select them when acid vapors or high-pressure cleaning are present. In all these cases, the corrosive environment dictates service life, not the load being transmitted.

For proper selection, start with the pitch and number of strands your machine requires. Then assess the surroundings: if humidity or chemicals are always present, the PC line is the right choice; in a dry, clean setting a standard chain will perform just as well. During installation, verify sprocket alignment and correct tension—a corroded chain will not tolerate misalignment. Lubrication is equally important: choose a lubricant suited to the environment and refresh it according to the duty cycle.

BS chains from various manufacturers share the same pitch and geometry, so an RS B-PC can interchange with another chain of matching pitch and strand count, provided the anti-corrosion treatment is equivalent. Avoid mixing links from different makers in one run: tolerances differ and wear speeds up. When replacing a run, the safest approach is to install a complete chain and inspect the sprockets.

If you have the chain code —for example RS10B-PC-1— send it via WhatsApp to MR Industrial Accessories and we will quote you promptly. You can also ask about compatible sprockets, lubricants for corrosive environments and installation tools. At MR we know the typical applications of each line and help you choose the variant that best fits your equipment.
