When moisture, washdown or chemical exposure is part of the daily routine, a standard chain can be the weak point of a drive. This TSUBAKI ANSI roller chain line is built for those conditions, linking parallel shafts on equipment where corrosion would otherwise cut service life short. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies it to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code tells you most of what you need. The number following RS sets the pitch: 3/8 inch for RS35-AS-1, 1/2 inch for RS40-AS-1, 5/8 inch for RS50-AS-1, 3/4 inch for RS60-AS-1 and 1 inch for RS80-AS-1. The AS portion flags the corrosion-resistant version, while the trailing -1 confirms a single-strand build. Match that pitch to your sprockets and you have the base of a correct selection.
These chains show up wherever regular washing or process chemicals are present: water treatment, industrial laundries, food and beverage plants, chemical operations, tanneries and marine equipment. Packaging lines, bottle conveyors and cleaning stations are typical examples. Their construction resists oxidation so the chain keeps its structural integrity instead of rusting through.
Before ordering, confirm pitch, strand count and the length you need in links or meters. On installation, align the sprockets and set tension so wear stays even. Choose a lubricant that suits the environment, since water-resistant or food-grade options are often the right call. Inspect rollers and check for elongation on a regular schedule to plan replacement before a failure stops the line.
TSUBAKI ANSI chains in this corrosion-resistant version interchange with other brands that share the same pitch and dimensions. Send the complete code, such as RS50-AS-1, plus the link count or total length when you request a quote. If the exact reference is not on hand, the team can help identify a suitable equivalent for your drive.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the AS suffix indicate on a TSUBAKI chain?
- It marks the corrosion-resistant version, made with materials and treatments suited to moisture, chemicals or frequent washing. Pitch and dimensions stay the same as the standard chain; only corrosion resistance changes.
- How do I match the pitch to my equipment?
- The pitch has to match your existing sprockets. If you are replacing a chain, read the number stamped on the plate or measure the distance between rollers. RS35, RS40, RS50, RS60 and RS80 all correspond to standardized pitches.
- Can a TSUBAKI AS chain replace one from another brand?
- Yes, provided both follow the ANSI standard with the same pitch and number of strands, since the dimensions are interchangeable. Check sprocket wear as well, and replace the sprockets if needed for proper operation.
