The TSUBAKI RS B-SS attachment chain is a stainless steel roller chain with side attachments, built for conveying, elevating, or dragging in corrosive or high-washdown settings. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the US, Canada, Mexico, and South America, with support for part number identification and application matching.
The RS B-SS code breaks down as follows: RS indicates a roller chain with pitch per BS standard; the number after RS (e.g., RS08B-SS, RS10B-SS, RS12B-SS, RS16B-SS) denotes the pitch size, increasing with the number. The -SS suffix means stainless steel. Side attachments are welded plates that allow mounting of scrapers, buckets, or other fixtures. When requesting a quote, include the full part number so the team can pinpoint the exact chain.
Typical installations include water treatment, food and beverage processing, washdown areas, chemical plants, and outdoor equipment like waste conveyors or bucket elevators. Stainless steel resists rust from humidity, acids, or cleaning agents, making it a practical choice where carbon steel would deteriorate quickly.
For selection, consider pitch, working load, speed, and the specific attachment configuration your equipment requires. Stainless chains need compatible lubricants; in dry or washdown processes, inspect more frequently. Maintain sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear on pins, bushings, and guides.
Interchangeability between brands is not automatic. Even with the same pitch, roller diameter, inner width, and attachment position may differ. Compare critical dimensions against the original chain or consult MR Industrial Accessories LLC before switching to prevent downtime.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the -SS suffix mean on the RS B-SS chain?
- The -SS suffix indicates stainless steel, suited for corrosive environments, washdowns, or chemical vapors where carbon steel would rust. It still requires proper lubrication and maintenance according to the process.
- How do I choose the correct pitch for my conveyor?
- Pitch depends on load and speed. If replacing an existing chain, use the stamped part number or measure the pitch between rollers. Send that information and sprocket dimensions to MR Industrial Accessories LLC for a precise match.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with this TSUBAKI one?
- Sometimes, but a matching pitch is not enough. Roller diameter, inner width, and attachment position must be compared. Provide the original chain's dimensions and the team will advise on compatibility.
