TSUBAKI RS B-NEP is a metric-pitch roller chain supplied with attachments welded onto the outer plates and built in stainless steel, so it holds up where moisture, vapors or routine washdowns are part of the process. It handles conveying and elevating of bulk materials and individual parts. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this chain to customers in the United States and Latin America, and helps with pitch and configuration questions before you order.

Reading the code helps you avoid ordering the wrong item. RS marks the metric-pitch roller chain. The number that follows, whether 08, 10, 12, 16 or 20, sets the pitch under the BS standard, and the B tells you it is the European series. NEP closes the designation and means the chain carries attachments and is made of stainless steel for corrosive duty. So an RS12B-NEP does not swap for a plain chain of the same pitch, because both the job it does and its material are different.

Typical installations include bucket elevators, bulk material conveying, industrial washing equipment, water treatment plants, food and chemical processing, and any line that sees moisture or aggressive agents. Carbon steel tends to break down quickly in these settings, which is why a stainless chain is often specified instead.

When selecting, work through pitch, number of strands, overall length and attachment style. At installation, confirm sprocket alignment, set the correct tension and apply a lubricant suited to stainless steel. Inspect sprockets and guides for wear as well, since running a new chain over worn parts shortens its working life. Very aggressive environments may call for extra protection.

Attachment chains are not automatically interchangeable between brands, even when pitch and dimensions follow the BS standard, because material, surface treatment and tolerances can vary. Compare the full designation and the manufacturer's specifications rather than the pitch alone. For a replacement, send the code stamped on the plates or the main dimensions.
