When a roller chain has to do more than transmit power, the TSUBAKI RS-CU-SS series provides a stainless steel chain with side attachments for conveying, lifting or driving where an extra fastening point is needed. Its all-stainless construction suits humid areas, washdown routines and exposure to corrosive agents, making it a practical choice for tough operating conditions.

Reading the code helps you order the right chain. RS stands for roller chain with ANSI pitch, and the following number (40, 50, 60, 80) sets the size and load capacity per the standard. CU means the chain carries attachments or special attachments, and SS confirms that every component is stainless steel. So RS40-CU-SS is a pitch 40 chain with attachments in stainless, while RS80-CU-SS is pitch 80 with the same features.

Typical users are in food, pharmaceutical, chemical and water treatment operations, where corrosion and hygiene matter. You will see these chains on packaging lines, bottle conveyors, industrial washers, food processing equipment and lifting systems that run outdoors or in damp spaces. They handle washing with water and cleaning agents, which fits plants with strict sanitation requirements.

Selection comes down to pitch, sprocket tooth count, the load to be transmitted and the environment. Stainless steel resists corrosion, but check compatibility with lubricants and avoid cross-contamination. During assembly, keep shaft alignment precise and tension adequate to prevent premature wear. Use a lubricant made for stainless steel, and where sealing is used, make sure it keeps particles out.

On interchangeability, TSUBAKI RS-CU-SS chains follow the ANSI standard, so they can replace other brands with the same pitch designation and attachment type. Still, verify the exact attachment dimensions and mounting holes, as these can differ between manufacturers. Check with a specialist before replacing a chain to confirm mechanical and chemical compatibility.
