Tsubaki Bearing Roller Conveyor Chain

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a catalog for Tsubaki's Bearing Roller Conveyor Chains, detailing their features, specifications, and applications. It emphasizes the eco-friendly design and efficiency improvements of these chains.
Key Features:
  • Eco-Friendly: Products meet Tsubaki Group's environmental standards.
  • Reduced Chain Running Resistance: Cylindrical bearings ensure smooth roller rotation, reducing rail wear and increasing roller wear life.
  • Energy Efficiency: Chains require only 1/3 of the drive power compared to standard chains, allowing for smaller motors and reduced CO2 emissions.
  • Stable Conveyance: Prevents stick-slip phenomena, ensuring smooth movement and higher productivity.
Product Series:
  • Standard Series: General use with easy roller replacement and lubrication options.
  • Anti-Dust Series: Designed for environments with dust and debris, such as casting and waste conveyance.
  • Lube-Free Series: Available in standard, completely lube-free, and water-resistant specifications, suitable for applications like web roll and coating line conveyance.
Technical Specifications:
  • Chain Load: 1/3 the coefficient of friction and chain load compared to standard chains.
  • Wear Life: Over 3 times the wear life of standard RF Conveyor Chains.
  • Selection Criteria: Includes roller rotation coefficient of friction, operating temperature range, sprocket compatibility, and roller allowable load.
Application Examples:
  • Vehicle conveyance, web roll conveyance, casting conveyance, and more.
  • Customizations available for specific needs, such as heat resistance and ribbed attachments for higher load capacity.
Safety and Usage Notes: The document includes guidelines for safe use and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the chains.
Specifications: The document outlines the specifications for different chain sizes, including dimensions such as pitch, inner width, pin diameter, and roller allowable load. It also provides a chain numbering example to help identify the chain type, size, and series.
Features:
  • Standard Series: Offers 5x the wear life of DT Series and 3x the wear life of AT Series without additional lubrication.
  • Anti-Dust Series: Utilizes a labyrinth construction to prevent dust infiltration, offering 3x the wear life of standard specs.
  • Lube-Free Series: Incorporates self-lubricating cylindrical bearings, providing 5x the wear life of standard DT Series and 2x the wear life of standard specs without additional lubrication.
Procedures and Recommendations:
  • Chains should not be used in environments fully covered in dust or corrosive environments.
  • Periodic lubrication is recommended using the grease nipple on the pin head.
  • Base chains are compatible with general use conveyor chains and can use current sprockets.
Data Summary: The document includes tables with key data on chain dimensions, allowable loads, and mass per meter for various chain sizes. It also provides a comparison of running times and wear life across different series.
Notes: Contact a Tsubaki representative for imperial sizes. Dimensions provided are nominal and may differ from actual measurements.
Specifications and Recommendations:
  • Allowable loads depend on roller-rail contact surface wheel load and bearing bending strength. Use rails made of SS400 or stronger material. Avoid using bearing rollers with curved rails.
  • For lubricated specifications, ensure proper lubrication to avoid poor rotation. In environments with water exposure, use non-lubricated or water-resistant specifications.
  • Avoid using in acidic or alkaline environments. Water-resistant specifications (SUS400 Series parts) may rust in certain conditions.
  • Ensure proper rail installation and sprocket alignment to prevent excessive thrust load on the chain.
Cost Analysis: Bearing Roller Conveyor Chain has lower total costs compared to standard conveyor chains. Initial costs, wear life, and replacement costs are factors in cost analysis.
Usage Notes:
  • Understand the structure and specifications of chains and sprockets before handling.
  • Inspect chains and sprockets for damage before installation.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial.
  • Chain strength varies by manufacturer; use Tsubaki products when selecting from their catalog.
  • Lubricate connecting links before assembly.
  • Ensure the final customer receives the instruction manual.
Safety and Maintenance:
  • Do not use chains for purposes other than intended.
  • Avoid additional work on the chain such as annealing, cleaning with acids, electroplating, or welding.
  • Replace the entire chain if any part is damaged.
  • Install safety devices and protection equipment when using chains on suspension or personnel transport devices.
  • Follow the instruction manual for installation, removal, inspection, maintenance, and lubrication.
Warranty Information: Products are warranted against defects for 18 months from shipment or 12 months from installation, whichever comes first. Warranty covers defects arising from correct installation, use, and maintenance. Out of warranty services are available for a fee under specific conditions.
Global Presence: Tsubakimoto Chain Co. has a global presence with offices in the Americas, Europe, Indian Ocean Rim, East Asia, and China.
