The TSUBAKI LMD-H series belongs to the Lambda Lube Free line of roller chains. These chains are manufactured with lubrication already applied at the articulation points, so they operate without needing additional oil in normal service. They are used to transmit power between shafts, change speeds and synchronize mechanisms in industrial machinery. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series and assists in selecting the correct pitch and configuration for your equipment.

The code structure breaks down into segments. The letters RS denote an ANSI-pitch roller chain. The following number gives the pitch size, such as RS40, RS50, RS60, RS80 or RS100. The suffix LMD-H indicates the heavy-duty Lambda Lube Free version. The final digit, as in RS40-LMD-H-2, shows the strand count: 1 for single, 2 for double. For instance, RS60-LMD-H-2 is a size 60 chain with two strands from the LMD-H line.

Common applications include conveyors, elevators, packaging machines, bakery equipment, bottling lines, mills and water treatment plants. They also appear in food processing, where traditional lubrication can be problematic, and in drives for pumps, fans and compressors. Since they do not need external lubrication, maintenance is simplified in hard-to-reach or contamination-sensitive areas.

When choosing an LMD-H chain, specify the pitch, number of strands, link count and joint type. Verify sprocket alignment, tooth condition and proper tension: an overly tight chain speeds up wear on bushings and rollers. The Lambda Lube Free line arrives pre-lubricated and requires no additional oil under normal conditions, cutting maintenance tasks and preventing drips.

ANSI roller chains can be interchanged among manufacturers if pitch, strand count and roller type are the same, but tolerances and treatments may differ. It is best to compare the full designation, not just the pitch number. If unsure, send the original chain code and MR Industrial Accessories will help you find a suitable equivalent.

To request a quote, send the complete code via WhatsApp, for example RS50-LMD-H-2, or provide the pitch and number of strands you need. You can also attach a photo of the chain and sprocket. With that information, we respond quickly with the best alternative for your equipment.
