The TSUBAKI RS-SUP-H roller chain is a heavy-duty power transmission chain built with reinforced plates and pins to handle high loads and tough conditions. It drives shafts and mechanisms in equipment where a standard chain would not hold up. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries, and can help you select the correct pitch and configuration.

The code breaks down into clear parts. RS indicates an ANSI-pitch roller chain. The number after RS gives the pitch size, such as 80, 100 or 120. SUP means heavy-duty execution, and H is the reinforced variant. The final digit shows the number of strands: -1 for single strand, -2 for double strand. For example, RS80-SUP-H-1 is a single-strand chain with pitch 80, while RS100-SUP-H-2 is the same family in double strand.

These chains are common in drag conveyors, bucket elevators, mill drives, mixers, mining and quarry equipment, cement plants and continuous process lines. They also appear in agricultural machinery and material handling equipment where dust, vibration or starts under load are present. Because it is a heavy-duty chain, it is chosen when the transmission runs many hours per day and a failure would be unacceptable.

For proper selection, consider pitch, number of strands, number of teeth on the sprockets and center distance. During installation, check sprocket alignment, correct tension and lubrication. A poorly lubricated heavy-duty chain wears just like a standard one. Also inspect equipment sealing and the cleanliness of the environment, since abrasion speeds up elongation. If the original equipment uses a reinforced chain, do not substitute a lower-performance one.

ANSI roller chains are interchangeable between manufacturers when pitch, number of strands and terminal type match. In this line, the TSUBAKI reference can be compared with other brands that use the same numerical pitch nomenclature. To confirm an equivalent, send the complete code, the number of teeth on the sprockets and a photo of the old chain. With that information, the configuration can be verified before quoting.

To replace a chain from this line, contact us by WhatsApp or email with the code from the equipment plate or the previous chain. The team replies promptly and can suggest equivalents and help you choose the right chain for your application.
