Product Description
This Tsubaki 304 stainless steel single-strand riveted ANSI roller chain is suitable for use in corrosive environments, such as near chemicals or water that is acidic or alkaline. The chain is manufactured with solid rollers and bushings for durability, has link plates assembled with rivets, includes one connecting link for every 10’ of chain, and has an operating temperature range of -40 to 750 degrees F. This Tsubaki single-strand roller chain is American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B29.1 standard, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ANSI chains, is Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, and is suitable for use in corrosive water and high temperatures, such as in food production machinery.
Roller chains are commonly used as a power transmission component and are composed of four parts: plate, roller, bushing, and pin. A series of cylindrical rollers are held together by side links, which fit together into a toothed wheel called a sprocket. Connecting links are used to join the two ends of the chain together to form a loop. Roller chains range from simple, mechanical drives such as bicycle chains, to complex power transmission products that drive conveyors and other industrial machinery, such as printing presses and farm equipment.
Tsubaki manufactures roller chains and other power transmission products, conveyor systems, factory automation systems, physical distribution systems, and electronic control devices. The company, founded in 1971 as a subsidiary of Tsubakimoto Chain Company, has its headquarters in Wheeling, IL, and meets British Standards Institution (BSI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 and 14001 standards for quality assurance.
