Product catalog summary
Overview: The LAMBDA Chain is a lube-free chain designed for industrial applications, utilizing special oil-impregnated sintered bushes that eliminate the need for additional lubrication. This feature makes it ideal for use in hard-to-reach or high locations, and in environments where cleanliness is critical, such as food processing.
Key Features:
  • Lube-Free Operation: The chain uses special oil-impregnated sintered bushes that maintain a lubricated state without additional lubrication, reducing maintenance time and costs.
  • NSF H1 Certified Lubricant: The lubricant used is certified safe for incidental food contact, making the chain suitable for food equipment.
  • Durability: The chain offers long life without additional lubrication, reducing wear and elongation issues common in traditional chains.
  • Noise Reduction: LAMBDA Rollers, with oil-impregnated bearings, reduce noise by 10 dB compared to standard steel rollers.
Product Variants:
  • X-LAMBDA Chain: Features oil-impregnated felt seals for improved wear resistance, suitable for high-temperature environments (150°C to 230°C).
  • KF Series LAMBDA Chain: Offers ultra-long life and is compatible with standard RS sprockets.
  • Surface Treated LAMBDA Chain: Provides enhanced corrosion resistance through special surface treatments.
Operating Conditions:
  • Temperature Range: Standard operation from -10°C to 60°C, with special variants capable of up to 230°C.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with standard RS sprockets and roller chains, though some variants require special sprockets.
Usage Considerations:
  • Not suitable for direct food contact or environments where coating flakes could contaminate food.
  • Wet environments may cause oil leakage from bushes, leading to wear.
  • Ensure no interference with machinery due to longer pin lengths in some variants.
Global Availability: The LAMBDA Chain is available through Tsubaki's global network, including locations in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
