CANE HARVESTER CHAINS
Our cane harvester chains are manufactured to Tsubaki’s exacting specifications at our ISO certified manufacturing facility.
All of our components are shot peened and the chain is also statically pre-loaded to give it enhanced wear life in the harsh conditions of the cane fields.

CANE BAGASSE CARRIER CHAIN with OUTBOARD ROLLER
The unique outboard roller design from Tsubaki makes maintenance a breeze.
The chain is designed to maintain a thin layer of lubrication on the bearing surface, extending the service life of the system.
And the convenient location of the rollers makes it easy to replace a broken one without dismantling the entire system, eliminating excessive and costly downtime.

INTERMEDIATE CARRIER CHAINS
RF Conveyor Type
Our RF Series intermediate carrier chains are built from the finest material and use the same special stainless steel grade for the pin and bush that was designed for the bagasse reclaimer application to protect against corrosion and wear.
The pin and bush areas are also lubricated with MoS2 grease during assembly. Further, since the chain is normally not lubricated during operation this MoS2 grease has been baked on in areas to provide additional lubrication functions.
Additional sizes and series are available on request.

Cast Dog Bone Link Type
Our cast dog bone link type chains are built strong and have special design features such as stainless steel pins and bushes to protect against the harsh conditions these chains face.
Additional sizes and series are available on request.

BAGASSE RECLAIMER CHAINS
The bagasse reclaimer powers the mill and so is the most critical chain application.
Tsubaki has spent thoroughly researched the market research and field tested its chains to come up with a grade of stainless steel that has the highest combined levels of corrosion resistance, strength, and wear properties.
In addition to this unique stainless steel grade we also through harden and induction harden our pins to give them the best wear life possible. Due to the lack of lubrication during operation we also lubricate the pin and bushing area with MoS2 grease during assembly and also bake this grease onto certain areas. Our attachments are also robotically welded to the chain to ensure the deepest and strongest weld penetration possible.

DIFFUSER CHAIN
As with bagasse carriers and bagasse elevator chains, Tsubaki Diffuser Chains use a unique stainless steel material developed by Tsubaki that combines wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and durability.
They are used in sugar mills around the world.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCHES FOR BOILER OPERATION
Our MG and MI Series are just two of a larger range of overrunning clutches we can provide to mills to meet their overrunning and power saving requirements. Other sizes and series are available on request.
DRIVE CHAINS & SPROCKETS
The G8 Series is a superior drive chain developed utilizing Tsubaki’s 100 years of manufacturing expertise.
RS Roller Chain G8 (Standard Drive Chain)
Economical and Long Lasting
Tsubaki’s standard RS G8 Series roller chain uses a seamless solid bush developed through advanced Tsubaki engineering and processing.
Tsubaki’s patented lube groove technology in our precision solid bushes retains lubrication and provide superior wear life.
Lube grooves available for RS40-RS240 only (RS0B-RS56B for BS/DIN standard).
Super (Heavy Duty) Drive Chains
For Heavy Duty Drives
Tsubaki offers a variety of heavy duty and Super Chains to provide users with a higher maximum allowable load, shock absorption, fatigue strength, and tensile strength than standard RS roller chains.
Super Chain Performance Comparison with RS Roller Chain
- With RS Roller Chain as benchmark (100)
- Available sizes : RS80 – RS240, up to sextuple strand
Surface Treated NEPTUNE CHAIN ®
Out Standing Corrosion Resistance
TSUBAKI's NEPTUNE CHAIN combines uniquely developed base and resin coatings for superior corrosion and chemical resistance against water and alkalis.
Titan™ Series Drive Chain
Superior Wear Life at High Speeds and in Harsh Conditions
Titan Chain integrates the latest advancements from Tsubaki’s research and development to increase the wear life of roller chains at high speeds and in harsh environments.
Titan Chain incorporates the best features of our standard ANSI chain along with new and unique features to outperform other extended life chains.
