The RS..B-SS line from TSUBAKI covers stainless steel roller chains built for transmission between parallel shafts on equipment that sees moisture, washdowns, vapors or chemicals. In those conditions a carbon steel chain would break down quickly. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you confirm pitch, strand count and length before you order.

Reading the code is the fastest way to know what you are asking for. RS marks a roller chain with pitch to BS standard; the figure after it sets the pitch and strength; SS confirms stainless steel; and the final digit tells you whether the chain runs as single, double or triple strand. So RS08B-SS-1 is an 08B pitch chain, stainless, single strand, while RS10B-SS-2 is the same family in double strand. The suffix at the end does not alter pitch; it alters how much load the transmission can carry.

These chains fit food and beverage plants, washdown zones, water treatment, chemical processing, tanneries and any process with frequent washing or outdoor exposure. They turn up on conveyors, mixers, packaging machines and equipment that gets cleaned every day. Stainless steel keeps surface rust from contaminating product or seizing the rollers, and it keeps the chain articulating without constant lubrication.

Selection comes down to pitch, number of strands and required length. Make sure your sprockets match the BS pitch and are still in good shape, because a worn sprocket speeds up wear on a new chain. At assembly, align the shafts and set the tension: too tight and you load the bearings, too loose and the chain jumps. Use a lubricant suited to stainless steel and check pin play before each start-up.

Roller chains are identified by standard and pitch, so a stainless BS chain from another maker with the same pitch and strand count is interchangeable. What differs between manufacturers is the stainless treatment, roller tolerance and service life. Do not mix brands within one run; if you replace, do the full length. And if the machine originally ran a carbon steel chain, verify that the sprockets accept the pitch and width of the stainless version.
