Introduction to Tsubaki Drive Chain
The document provides a detailed overview of Tsubaki drive chains, focusing on their structure, components, and applications. It highlights the importance of shock and wear resistance in various parts of the chain.
Roller Chain Structure
The roller chain consists of several components, including the bush, roller, roller link, pin link, and intermediate plate, each with specific requirements for shock resistance, wear resistance, and load-bearing capacity.
Connecting and Offset Links
There are three types of connecting links: spring clip, cotter pin, and spring pin. Offset links are used when an odd number of chain links is required.
Heavy Duty Lambda Chain Series
Designed for harsh environments, compact drives, and applications requiring higher transmission power, these chains have thicker link plates for increased shock load capacity.
Sprockets
Sprockets need customization due to the thickness of the roller link plates. Hardened teeth sprockets are recommended for extended chain life.
Advantages of ANSI Heavy Duty Lambda Chains
Advantages include higher shock load resistance, reduced maintenance costs, increased productivity, and environmental friendliness.
Special Environment Chains
Chains designed for special environments, such as high temperature, food grade, corrosion-resistant, and cold-resistant chains.
ANSI X-Lambda Lube-Free Roller Chain
The X-Lambda chain offers extended wear life and is suitable for dusty environments.

Innovation in Motion 9 Ball-drift Residual Repetitive load compressive stress Repetitive load 7. Ball Drifting Process Fig. 6 Ball Drifting Fig. 7 Residual Compressive Stress Ball drifting is the process of pressing a hardened steel ball through a hole in an already hardened steel plate (Fig. 6). The goal of this process is to create local plastic deformation and effectively add compressive stress (Fig. 7) to the walls of the hole. Besides this, the process generates precisely controlled holes for an optimum press fit. Together, this leads to significantly improved fatigue life (up to 30%). 8....
