The document outlines the historical development of the RS Roller Chain, highlighting significant milestones such as the introduction of the G7 and G8 Series. The G8 Series, marking the centennial model, showcases advancements in wear life, tensile strength, and environmental standards.
Technical Specifications
Specifications for various chain models, including the Super, RS-HT, and Super-H Chains, are detailed. These chains offer improved tensile strength, wear life, and corrosion resistance. The Super-H Chain provides a 20% higher maximum allowable load than previous models.
Performance and Testing
Performance metrics such as maximum allowable load and minimum tensile strength are discussed, along with testing procedures to ensure product reliability and conformity.
Innovations and Benefits
Innovations like ring coining enhance the fatigue strength of chains without altering their dimensions. The document also discusses cost-saving benefits of using smaller chains and sprockets, contributing to more compact equipment designs.
Conclusion
Tsubakimoto Chain Co. continues to lead in chain technology by adapting to global needs and focusing on energy and labor savings. The G8 Series exemplifies their commitment to quality and performance improvements.
Specifications
The document discusses the use of 4POL with single strand chains only, recommending quench hardening for small sprocket teeth and using a carbon steel sprocket with a rating of S35C or higher. Tsubaki's Tough Tooth sprockets are suggested for heavy-duty chains.
Procedures and Innovations
The development of the G8 Series Heavy Duty Chain focused on improving fatigue strength without altering the chain's basic dimensions, with the introduction of Tsubaki’s patented ring coining to the inner link plates.
Benefits and Cost Efficiency
Heavy Duty Chains allow for cost reduction by using smaller chains and sprockets. The RS80-SUP-H-1 Super-H Chain offers the same maximum allowable load as the RS80-2-RP RS Roller Chain, enabling space savings.

Heavy Duty Drive Chains & Sprockets G8-2

One hundred years of fundamental technology, and the endless pursuit of new value. Tsubakimoto Chain has worked tirelessly on improving chain performance since our founding in 1917. We were the first Japanese factory to be accredited by Japan Industrial Standards (JIS) for roller chain in 1953. We dubbed that roller chain our first generation chain, and every decade since we have made major leaps in performance up to the 2006 launch of our G7 Series, the world’s highest quality roller chain. To celebrate our 100th anniversary, we will be launching our next generation G8 Series, the next evolution...

Cost Comparison Ns°be(:n'WhmaOka(icc)i?)ts of double strand RS Roller Chain Chain Notes from the Developer I extensively reviewed all the past specifications in making the G8 Series Heavy Duty Chain. Especially, our main goal with the Super-H Chain was finding a way to somehow improve fatigue strength without changing the chain's basic dimensions. I reviewed how each component was formed, but one key point was adding Tsubaki's original, patented ring coining* to the inner link plates. This creates plastic deformation around the...
