Low-noise chain

Product photo
  • Easing impact noise between chain and sprocket
  • Uses Tsubaki's uniquely structured spring rollers for the chain rollers.
  • When Tsubaki's Low Noise Roller Chain engages the sprocket, the spring roller deforms and absorbs the force of impact,
    reducing impact noise between chain and sprocket for 6-8dB lower noise levels compared to Tsubaki's standard (pre-lubed) RS Roller Chain.
