When moisture, washdowns or chemical vapors are part of the daily routine, a standard carbon steel chain can fail prematurely. The TSUBAKI RS-NS roller chain is built from stainless steel and keeps the ANSI pitch and dimensions, so it fits the same sprockets while standing up to corrosive conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this chain and helps you confirm the right pitch and strand count for your equipment.

The code tells you two things: the number is the ANSI pitch size, and the NS suffix means the chain is made of stainless steel. For example, RS25-NS is the smallest pitch in the series, while RS80-NS is the largest. These numbers are not millimeter measurements; they refer to a standard that fixes roller, plate and pin dimensions. When ordering, always use the complete part number from the machine or drawing.

You will find RS-NS chains in food and beverage processing, washdown zones, surface treatment lines, chemical plants and cold storage, where water, detergents or vapors would quickly attack carbon steel. They also suit outdoor equipment and coastal sites. The stainless construction resists corrosion, which helps extend service life and cut replacement downtime.

To choose correctly, check the pitch, the number of strands and the total length in links. Make sure your sprockets match the ANSI pitch and are made of a material suitable for the corrosive environment. During installation, verify shaft alignment and tension: too tight accelerates wear, too loose causes jumping. Use a lubricant formulated for stainless steel and inspect rollers and pins regularly.

ANSI roller chains from different manufacturers can be interchanged if the pitch, strand count and standardized dimensions are the same. The NS suffix is specific to TSUBAKI for its stainless line, so when you look for an equivalent, ask for a stainless steel chain with the same ANSI pitch. Since not all brands use the same material codes, compare the technical data sheet, not just the part number.

If you need to replace a TSUBAKI RS-NS chain, send the full part number, the number of links or the length, and a photo of the sprocket if possible, via WhatsApp. Our team will reply promptly with a suitable alternative. We can also help you identify the pitch if the original part number is no longer readable.
