When moisture, washdowns or chemical agents attack a drive, the TSUBAKI RS series chain with LMD-NEP finish is built to handle it. This ANSI chain has treated plates, pins and bushings to resist oxidation while maintaining its tensile capacity. It suits equipment that sees frequent cleaning, constant humidity or exposure to chemicals, and it can replace standard chains that rust too quickly.

The code tells you what you are working with. RS is the ANSI roller chain family. The number after it—40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120 or 140—sets the pitch and strength; larger numbers mean a bigger pitch and more load capacity. LMD refers to the treatment on the plates, and NEP to the treatment on pins and bushings. The final digit is the strand count: 1 for single. So RS60-LMD-NEP-1 is a single-strand chain with pitch 60 and anti-corrosion protection on plates, pins and bushings.

You will find these chains in food and beverage plants with water and detergent washdowns, industrial laundries, cooling tunnels and packaging lines in high humidity. They also show up in surface treatment where acidic or alkaline conditions degrade plain carbon steel, and in port or outdoor equipment. Common applications include meatpacking, dairy, wineries and canning operations where chemical cleaning is routine.

To select the right chain, consider pitch, number of strands and length in pitches. Make sure the sprockets match the ANSI pitch and that the anti-corrosion treatment also covers the rollers. During installation, align the sprockets with a straightedge or laser, set tension to the recommended sag, and do not skip lubrication: in corrosive settings, use a grease or oil that clings and is not washed away by water. Inspect bushing and pin wear before the chain jumps.

ANSI chains of the same pitch are dimensionally interchangeable between manufacturers as long as pitch, roller type and strand count match. However, anti-corrosion treatments and internal materials differ, so a standard chain will not perform the same in a corrosive environment. When replacing an existing chain, compare the full code and length; if you are unsure, send us the old code and we will check it.

To request a quote for a TSUBAKI RS LMD NEP chain, message us on WhatsApp with the complete code—for example RS80-LMD-NEP-1—and the number of pitches or length in meters. We reply promptly with the option that fits your equipment. We can also help with sprocket selection and lubrication so the drive lasts in your operating environment.
