INTRODUCTION TO TSUBAKI ROLLER CHAIN ISO min. Tensile Strength TSUBAKI min. Tensile Strength TSUBAKI av. Tensile Strength 3. Average Tensile Strength as per TSUBAKI Standardisation This is a fracture load reading obtained after a long period of actual tensile strength testing of a large number of chain strands. Of course, when any given strand of roller chain fractures, this value may be higher or lower, so it does not represent a guaranteed value. 2. Minimum Tensile Strength as per TSUBAKI Standardisation This is a minimum value determined by statistical processes at TSUBAKI. If a roller chain...

INTRODUCTION TO TSUBAKI ROLLER CHAIN 7. Ball Drifting Process Shot Peening increases resistance to: • fatigue failure • corrosion fatigue • hydrogen assisted cracking • cavitation erosion • stress corrosion cracking • galling • fretting Repetitive load Residual compressive stress Repetitive load 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...

INTRODUCTION TO TSUBAKI ROLLER CHAIN Roller Chain Structure it sF Roller Chain Structure 1. Three Basic Dimensions Pitch, Roller Diameter and Inner Width are known as the “Three Basic Dimensions of Roller Chain.” When these three dimensions are identical, roller chains and sprockets are dimensionally compatible. 2. Basic Parts Link Plate The plate is the component that bears the tension placed on the chain. Usually this is a repeated loading, sometimes accom­ panied by shock. Therefore, the plate must not only have great static tensile strength, it must also hold up to the dynamic forces of load...

BS LAMBDA LUBE FREE ROLLER CHAIN TSUBAKI’s LAMBDA Chains were the first in the industry to use a special oil impregnated bush. Since their launch in 1988, they have been adopted for diverse industries and applications, and their performance has been highly rated. TSUBAKI has a wide line-up of lube-free, long life products that help customers reduce costs. Technical Evolution As a pioneer in the lube-free chain market, TSUBAKI will reveal some of the key elements behind BS LAMBDA’s outstanding performance: Sintered Oil Impregnated Bush The microscopic pores in the seamless sintered bush are vacuum...
