Low-noise chain

Product Photos
  • Reduces the noise of chain and sprocket collisions
  • Tsubaki's unique spring roller structure is used for the chain roller.
  • When the chain bites into the sprocket, the spring roller deforms and absorbs the energy of the collision with the sprocket.
    This reduces the noise caused by the chain and sprocket colliding, resulting in lower noise levels.
  • Compared to RS roller chain (pre-lubed), noise is reduced by 6 to 8 dB (based on in-house testing).

Features

  • ・Improvement of the working environment in the factory

    It helps reduce noise levels within factories and improve the working environment.

  • - Adding value to the product in which it is incorporated

    It adds low noise functionality to the machinery and equipment it is incorporated into, contributing to upgrading and improving the image.
    This contributes to reducing noise in stage equipment, nursing care equipment, door opening and closing, escalator handrail drives, etc.

  • - Dimensionally compatible with RS roller chain

    Dimensionally compatible with standard RS roller chain.

Precautions

  • Although the dimensions are compatible with RS roller chain, please note that there are limitations to the power transmission capacity. Please select using the general selection method.
    (Please refer to kW ratings table in the product list.)
  • - Usable temperature range is -10℃ to 60℃.
  • - The allowable chain speed is 200m/min.
    *Oil may splash depending on the conditions of use.

When selecting sprocket specifications

It is necessary to select a sprocket specification that corresponds to the customer's operating environment and chain specifications.

For Low-noise chain, use standard steel RS sprockets.

If sufficient lubrication is not possible, hardening of the tooth tips is recommended for gears with a large number of teeth.

(Products with a small number of teeth have hardened tooth tips as standard)

Please see the chain and sprocket compatibility chart here.
