For wet and corrosive environments
03 February 2022
TSUBAKI OFFERS four versions of its proven BS/DIN European Standard Chain for use in corrosive environments; each designed to outlast standard chains and provide a cost-effective operating solution across the widest range of operating environments, including low temperature, sanitary, outdoor, wet and humid atmospheres. With lower operating noise and lube free options there is a chain type in this range for most applications.
The chains are divided into two categories: corrosion resistant and corrosion protected. Included in the former category are BS PC Plastic Combination and BS Stainless Steel chains. BS PC chain has a stainless base, with link plates manufactured from SUS304 and spring clips from SUS301. These materials combine with inner chain links of engineering plastic to produce high levels of corrosion resistance. Additional benefits are lube-free operation, low noise performance (5dB lower than BS standard roller chain) and weight saving: BS PC chain is 50% lighter than BS standard roller chain.
Tsubaki's BS stainless steel chain is designed for more aggressive environments, such as underwater, acidic and alkaline applications, and high and low temperature operations (-20°C to +400°C). All basic components of this chain are manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel, except the spring clips, which are made of SUS301.
Complementing the two corrosion resistant chain variants are BS Neptune and BS Nickel Plated corrosion protected chains.
