When humidity, washdowns or chemical vapors are part of the daily routine, a standard roller chain can fail early. The TSUBAKI RS B-LM-NEP line addresses that problem with anti-corrosion treatments applied to plates, pins and bushings. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this chain to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America, and can help you confirm the exact variant for your equipment.

Reading the code helps you specify the right chain. RS indicates a roller chain with pitch according to BS standard. The number that follows —08, 10, 12 or 16— sets the pitch size. LM means the plates carry an anti-corrosion treatment, while NEP refers to treated pins and bushings for corrosion resistance. The final digit, 1 or 2, tells you whether the chain is single or double strand. So RS08B-LM-NEP-1 is single strand and RS08B-LM-NEP-2 is double strand.

These chains are common in food and beverage plants, washdown zones, surface treatment lines, packaging operations and wash tunnels where water, steam or cleaning agents are present. They also suit outdoor equipment and coastal locations. Typical applications include conveyors, pump drives, fans and process machinery. Compared with a conventional chain, the corrosion-resistant construction helps extend service life in these environments, where untreated chains tend to rust and elongate prematurely.

Selection depends on pitch, number of strands, working load and speed. During installation, verify sprocket alignment and tension: too tight accelerates wear, too loose causes jumping. Lubrication matters, and in corrosive settings you should use a lubricant suited to those conditions. Also inspect sprocket teeth for wear; a worn sprocket can shorten the life of a new chain.

BS pitch chains are interchangeable among manufacturers that follow the same standard, but anti-corrosion treatments and materials can differ. Avoid substituting a standard chain for an LM-NEP chain in a corrosive environment, since the surface protection is the key difference. If you are unsure, send us the original code and describe the working environment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies TSUBAKI as a brand and can guide you toward the right option.

To request a quote, send the full code via WhatsApp or email —for example RS10B-LM-NEP-2— along with the meters or number of links you need. If the code is not available, provide the pitch, number of strands and a photo of the old chain. We reply promptly and can suggest equivalents or help you choose.
