The Three Basic Chain Dimensions

Overview
The three basic dimensions of conveyor chain are pitch, roller diameter, and inner link inner width. When these dimensions
are the same, the chain and sprocket are compatible. (1 pitch = 1 link)

1. Pin (CP) 4. Plate (PLP-A, PLP-B, BLP)

Roller Types

Tsubaki Conveyor Chains use three basic roller types.

1. R Rollers
Tsubaki's most basic, versatile roller type. It has a
large allowable load and low frictional resistance.
R Roller

The outer diameter of the roller is larger

than the height of the link plate.

2. F Rollers
Flange rollers are a simple way to prevent side F Roller
oscillation. They are perfect for rough usage Flange
conditions and regular slat conveyance. Be careful
when using K attachments, as the attachment area
may contact the roller flange.

There is a flange on the roller, attached

on the T-pin side, that acts as a guide.

3. S, M, and N Rollers
These rollers are effective in alleviating the shock and S, M, N Roller
wear the chain would normally suffer during sprocket
engagement.
S Rollers : The outer diameter of the roller is smaller
than the height of the link plate.
M Rollers : The outer diameter of the M Roller is
slightly larger than that of the S Roller.
N Rollers : The roller diameter of the M and N rollers
are the same, but the pin diameter is
larger, increasing its strength. (RF26200N
and above)

Other roller types

Bearing Rollers
Tsubaki Bearing Roller Conveyor Chain, with its unique cylindrical bearings in the
rollers, is able to provide longer wear life and suppression of stick-slip phenomenon,
and reduce required power. R, F, and S roller types available. See pg. 51 for more
information.

Overview
2. Specific Ordering Examples for Large Size Conveyor Chain
Unlike drive chains and light duty conveyor chains, large size conveyor chains are ordered in links instead of units.
2.1 Chain assembly when ordering with total number of links
1) In general, your large size conveyor chain will be delivered in standard lengths (~3m) + extra parts based on the total
number of links in your order. Your chain may not be provided in standard lengths (~3m) depending on its size, pitch,
or attachment spacing. Please notify us with any specific packing requests.
Ex. 1) When ordering RF03100R-DT-1LA2 500L
(Packing) 30L × 16H + 20L × 1H (total 500L)
Ex. 2) When ordering RF03100R-DT-1LA2 500L (250L×2H)
(Packing) 30L × 16H + 10L × 2H (total 500L)
Ex. 3) When ordering RF03100R-DT-4LA2 280L (standard length is not 3m)
(Packing) 28L × 10H (total 280L)
Caution
Standard length will vary depending on chain size, pitch, and attachment spacing.
We will try to deliver in ~3m standard lengths.

Ex. 4) When ordering RF03100R-DT-6LA2 38L (when quantity is indivisible due to attachment spacing)
(Packing) 30L x 1H + 8L x 1H (w/2 att.) (total 38L)

6 links
Caution
Attachments can be attached to extra parts as well. Please indicate if attachments are not needed.
Try to ensure that attachment spacing allows for a evenly divisible quantity.

Ex. 5) When ordering RF03100R-DT-A2 20L (special assembly: A2 att. every 9th link)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Caution
Count links from the left hand side, starting at “one.”
Instructions to start counting from the right may lead to incorrect attachment positioning.

2) One end of a standard length (~3m) will be the outer link, while the other end with be the inner link. Add addition chain lengths
onto this standard length to create a longer chain. The connecting link is delivered with a loose press fit. (See photo below.)

T-pin

The pin of the connecting

link is loosely press fitted.

Note: Delivery of the chain may differ depending on chain shape.

2.2 Special assembly

A chain assembled to your specified chain length, end formation, attachment spacing, etc. is considered a special assembly.

2.2.1 When total length has an even number of links

1) One end of the chain will be the outer link, while the other end the inner link.
2) Refer to section P16. 3 Attachment Spacing for specifying the position and spacing of attachments.
RL RL
2.2.2 When total length has an odd number of links
a) Both ends inner links (RL – RL) （a）
b) Both ends outer links (PL – PL) PL PL
c) One end outer link, other end offset link (PL – OL)
Caution （b）

When using an odd number of links, be sure to specify the end formation PL OL
as per a) – c) above. C) requires a separate fee for an offset link.

2.2.3 When using chain in parallel

1) Half assembled in mirror image
Attachments on a set of chains to be used in parallel are manufactured to be Ex. RF03100R-6LA2-5LEP1
symmetrical. Thus, when chains need to be in mirror image,
please specify half assembled in mirror image when ordering.
Ordering strands in parallel does not mean that they will be in mirror image.
The following examples show when half assembled in mirror image is appropriate
and when it is not.
Ex. 1) When ordering RF03100R-DT-3LA2 68L (when not indicating half assembled in mirror image)
Shipped as A: 30 L x 2H, B: 2L x 1H (w/3 att.)
A ×2 strands B ×1 strand

Caution
When ordering chain, we will assume that the chains will be used in single strands (and not in parallel). Please
indicate when two or more strands will be used, or when half assembled in mirror image is required.

Ex. 2) RF03100R-DT-3LA2 68L (when ordering half assembled in mirror image)

Shipped as A: 30L x 1 strand, B: 4L x 1 strand (w/2 att.) as per the diagram
A: 30L x 1 strand, B: 4L x 1H (w/2 att.) mirror image of diagram
A ×1 strand B ×1 strand

A’ ×1 strand B’ ×1 strand

Caution
We will only manufacture chains as per Ex. 2 when instructed to half assemble in mirror image.

Ex. 3) RF03100R-DT-3LA2 68L (34L x 2H) (when not indicating half assembled in mirror image)
Shipped as A: 30L x 2H, B: 4L x 2H (w/2 att.)
A ×2 strands B ×2 strands

Caution
We will arrange the number of links so that there are two strands, but it will not be manufactured as half assembled in
mirror image. There are applications where not manufacturing half assembled in mirror image will result in problems.

2) Matched and tagged in pairs

Chain lengths will vary within standard tolerance. When it is desirable to minimize the relative difference in total
chain length in a set of chains to be used in parallel, the chain is matched and tagged in pairs. Indicate one of the
following two methods when ordering. Contact a Tsubaki representative for details.
Note: Total large size conveyor chain length tolerance is ±0.25%. Chains half assembled in mirror image cannot
be matched and tagged in pairs. Only when stands are not interchangeable.
1) When ordering minimal matched tolerance differences
The overall length of several sets of standard length (~3m) is measured, and without performing the match
and tag process we will assemble the chain randomly based on the results of statistical and technical data.
If the results are not appropriate, we will measure the total length of all strands and assemble.
2) When ordering matched and tagged within XX mm
Total length of each standard length (~3m) is measured and assembled within the relative difference specified.
〈Delivery〉
Different colored tags are attached to the left and right sides at fixed intervals (~3m). Connecting order for the
chain is written on the tag.
Note: There is an extra charge for chains matched and tagged in pairs. Contact a Tsubaki representative for details.

2.2.4 Long chain lengths

L

 Large Size Conveyor Chain Sprockets

Special Sprockets

Sprocket teeth wear has a major impact on conveyor chain life.

When sprocket teeth wear, it is necessary to replace the worn areas of the teeth or the whole sprocket. Both of these involve
massive maintenance and replacement costs. Further, when the tooth wall is worn away it makes maintaining and managing
tooth profile precision difficult, which can shorten the life of the chain.
Tsubaki manufactures a variety of sprockets that can help you reduce your sprocket maintenance and replacement costs.

General Use/Heavy Duty/

● Replaceable tooth insert sprockets

Corrosion Resistant
Thanks to a deep quench hardened
layer using unique Tsubaki know-
how, these replaceable tooth insert
sprockets are highly wear resistant,
keeping wear to a minimum. Any worn
teeth can be pulled from the sprocket
and replaced individually for added
convenience. Tooth insert
Any worn teeth can be pulled from the
sprocket and replaced individually

● Thermally sprayed replaceable tooth insert sprocket

In addition to the features of regular
replaceable tooth inserts, these
inserts are thermally sprayed using
the same technique for our long-
lasting FA Series conveyor chain for
even greater wear resistance. Test
results show that they have over
twice the life of non-thermally sprayed
replaceable tooth inserts.

Tooth insert

● Split sprockets
The sprocket itself can be split,
allowing it to be easily mounted and
removed from the shaft or replaced
as a whole. We can also provide ring-
tooth type split sprockets where the
section around the shaft remains the
same while just the teeth are split.

● Sprockets with shaft

Tsubaki can also deliver sprockets
with the shaft attached, saving you
from troublesome assembly work.

 Specialty Conveyor Chains

Double Plus Conveyor Chain

1. Conveying
The frictional force between the large and small diameter rollers cause
them to rotate in unison, and the difference in the roller diameters allow
for items to be conveyed at 2.3 times the speed of the base chain.
2. Accumulating
As there is a braking force acting on the large diameter roller,
slip occurs between the large and small diameter rollers,
allowing for free flow conveyance.
3. Energy Savings/Lower Costs
The small coefficient of friction means low required energy,
reducing necessary chain size and costs.
4. Longer Life
Chain speed is 1/2.3 with a large roller allowable load, giving the chain
over twice the life of standard chains. (Compared to Top Roller Chain.)
5. Stable Running
The height from rail to conveyed goods is low, allowing for
stable running.

Outboard Roller Conveyor Chain (Free Flow Conveyance)

This chain features an outboard roller on the S roller of a base

conveyor chain. The sprocket engages the center S rollers, while the
outboard rollers handle running. Tsubaki can manufacture outboard
rollers for any series.

Applications
1. For special attachments to the plate. (Fig. 1)
2. For when supporting loads on the center S roller is difficult.
3. For when having a guide on the chain's return side is difficult.
4. For giving double plus and accumulation capabilities to R
roller outboard rollers. (Fig. 2)

Flow Conveyor Chain

■ Horizontal Flow Conveyor Chain

Flow Conveyor Chain conveys powders in a sealed case,
which prevents dispersal, making it optimal for conveying
loose materials safely.
This attachment chain is designed just for flow conveyors,
and boasts Tsubaki's advanced technology and numerous
examples of success. Tsubaki offers different attachment
types to match any application requirement.
Carbon steel attachments are standard, but stainless steel
attachments can be manufactured upon request.
The base chain is either standard conveyor chain or
reinforced AT Series, but users can select other
specifications to match the nature of the conveyed material.
■ Consider replaceable tooth sprockets as well.
■ Standard Free Flow Chain ■ Coal Dust Chain: Tsubaki recommends the RT Series for
conveying corrosive coal dust.

FA Series Fly Ash Conveyor Chain

When wear is a problem

Coal fly ash, a highly abrasive constituent of cement, has
seen increasing use in recent years. In order to extend the
wear life of our Fly Ash Conveyor Chain, we further
improved our popular anti-wear Series and implemented a
special hardening treatment that gives remarkable strength
to the rollers' anti-wear properties, greatly increasing wear
life.

Has the same base outer dimensions as a standard conveyor

chain, but the larger bush diameter increases the roller allowable
load, allowing for conveyance of heavier objects. The bush also
employs various measures against outer diameter wear. The
chain's coefficient of running friction is 0.10 (lubricated) or 0.18
(unlubricated).

ACP Non-metallic Collector Chain

ACP Chains do not suffer corrosion wear, and in combination with ultrahigh molecular polyethylene sprockets they offer
unsurpassed wear resistance. They are also lighter than steel chains (chain: 1/4 − 1/2 lighter, sprocket: 1/3 lighter), making
them easy to handle.

WAC Chain for Water Screens

WAC Chain for water screens is used for automatic water

screens, such as those found in water intakes at thermal
power plants. The pins, bushes, and rollers use tempered
SUS400 series stainless steel, giving them the corrosion
and wear resistance necessary to operate continuously in
both seawater and air. There are special plastic bearings
in the roller inner diameter, allowing for lube-free
operation in seawater for easy maintenance.

Toughroller (Endless-type Roller)

Outstanding performance when conveying, transferring,

or moving heavy items.
Consisting of a frame and endless rollers, the endless rollers (roller, pin, and link plates) wrap around a center plate on the
frame. In contrast to a standard bearing, the operating principle behind Toughroller's operation is that the center plate is
the inner ring, the rollers are the balls, the link plates and pins are the ball cage, and the contact surface is the outer ring.

Construction Applications
1. Transferring/conveying heavy items.
Top Plate 2. When items are conveyed only infrequently and do not
warrant conveyor use.
3. When efficient use of space is important.
4. As a slide guide for long items.

■ Notes on Use
1）Allowable load values are determined by roller-rail wheel contact pressure or bearing rotation strength. Use rails with SS400
or stronger material. Do not use bearing rollers with curved rails.
2）For lubed specifications, lack of lubrication will cause poor rotation. Use non-lubed or water resistant specifications in
environments where bearing roller may come in contact with water.
3）Be aware that precision is much coarser than with cam followers.
4）Do not use in acidic or alkaline environments.
Water resistant specifications (SUS400 Series parts) may rust in certain usage environments.
5）Due to the small clearance between axle and hole, do not chamfer the attachment hole for Axle Bearing Rollers. Be sure not
to exceed the maximum screw tightening torque when attaching the nut.
6）Do not allow roller to come into contact with severe shock
7）This product does not come equipped with a brake. Consider installing one on the equipment side.
8）When re-lubricating lubed specifications, be sure to drip a few drops at a time between the roller and spacer on either side.
Once lubrication has degraded, lube every 1-3 months with ISO VG100-150 {SAE30-40} oil.
9）Rotational resistance of bearings and spacers will increase if worn. Be sure to replace as necessary. Use the following to
determine usage limit.
　　　　・Over 0.5mm of play between roller and bearing.
　　　　・When resin spacer has worn away.
10）All parts are coated with an anti-rust agent before shipment.

Automatic Conveyor Chain Lubricator

■ TCL Automatic Conveyor Chain Lubricator

The TCL lubricator is designed for use with conveyor chains. The chain roller pushes up the checker arm on the lubricator

■ Notes on Usage
•It is necessary to switch the checker arm ON to operate. Ensure a safe working area for this purpose.
•The pump should be installed where there is minimal lateral chain vibration or vertical movement, where it will be easy to install, and where it will be
parallel to the ground.
•Attach pump (nozzle) on the chain's return side (slack side) near the sprocket to ensure maximum penetration of lubricant between pin and bush
and bush and roller. (See diagram below.)
•Install oil tank 300mm or higher than the pump.
•Install the oil tank parallel to the ground and 300mm or higher than the pump.
•Pump will not operate if chain is run backwards. This is done so that the checker arm does not suffer any damage.  (See diagram below.)
•Amount of lubrication necessary depends on chain size and usage conditions. 2–3 shots per spot is normal. Stop lubrication once the necessary
amount of lubricant has been applied. (See diagram below.) Continuous operation will drastically hasten checker arm roller wear damage.
•Stopping lubrication using the oil tank plug while the pump is still in operation will drastically hasten wear damage on the pump and checker arm.
Always stop lubrication with the checker arm. (See diagram below.)
Accessories

•Be sure that the oil tank does not run out of lubrication. Operating the lubricator with no lubricant will drastically hasten wear damage on the pump.
Once lubrication runs out air will enter the pump, requiring the air to be pumped out before lubrication can begin again.
•Lubrication will reduce wear on chain parts and reduce necessary power. Lubrication should generally take place more than once a week. Clean
the chain first for effective lubrication.
•Pump piston may lock when not in use for extended periods. Start lubricator up once a month to prevent locking.

divide the return side into several catenaries.
Refer to "Roller Types" in the pages concerning Large
Conveyor Chain construction. Partial or full support by catenary on the return side (see
See page 7. diagrams above) can absorb chain elongation/shrinkage
from heat or other factors. This arrangement can be used
when chain speed is comparatively slow. Catenary sag

Notes:
1) When there are any regulations, guidelines, etc. effecting chain selection, select chain based on the regulations and
the Safety Factor Selection explained below. Then take the larger or stronger chain.

2) When a conveyor consists of multiple strands of chain, correct the number of strands in the above formula to allow
for uneven loading of the chain.

3) In the following applications, chain life is reduced to 1/2 to 1/10. Determine safety factor referring to clause P142.
Considerations for Special Environments
1. Short distance conveyance of heavy loads
2. Exposure of chain to abrasive, adhesive, and corrosive material
3. High temperature environments

14. Considerations for Special Environments 14.3 Abrasiveness

Points concerning abrasive conditions
Special environments mean the following conditions: 1）Install a chain cover to avoid exposure to abrasive
･high temperature material.
･low temperature 2）Select the adequate conveyor type when exposing
･high humidity chain to abrasive material.
･high dust 3）Slow down chain speed as much as possible.
･high chemical reactions 4）Increase the chain size to reduce pin-bush bearing
pressure
14.1 Low Temperatures 5）Lubricate using a grease nipple.

When chain is used at low temperatures, the following (Please contact a Tsubaki representative)
should be considered. 14.4 Corrosiveness
When chain is exposed to corrosive material:
1）Low temperature brittleness of material
1）Chain parts get thin, accelerating wear.
In general, steel materials become brittle at low

filling gaps between parts with lubricant that does not
freeze at the temperature the chain is used in. For this
purpose, silicon grease is recommended.

14.2 High Temperatures (Over 400ºC)

The strength of the chain decreases as the temperature of
the chain increases from the heat of the material conveyed
or the environment. Usage limits for each chain are
determined by the temperature of the chain and material.
For the Safety Factor at temperatures up to 400ºC, please
refer to Table 8, and for over 400ºC, please contact a Tsubaki
representative.
1）Points Concerning Hot Chain
① Friction factor increases more than usual.
② There is a possibility of heat fatigue when different

 For Your Safety When Using the Chain
Warning To avoid danger, observe the following rules.
● Do not use chain or chain accessories for any purpose other than their originally intended use.
● Never perform additional work on chain.
 ・Do not anneal any chain parts.
 ・Do not clean chain with acids or alkalis. These may cause cracking.
 ・Never attempt to electroplate chain or chain parts. This may cause hydrogen embrittlement.
 ・Do not weld chain. Heating effects will cause weakening and cracking.
 ・When a torch is used to heat or cut chain, remove the links on each side and do not reuse them.
● When replacing a worn or damaged part, do not replace just the worn or damaged part. Replace all parts with new parts.
● If a material that causes hydrogen embrittlement (acid, strong alkali, battery fluid, etc.) comes in contact with the chain,
immediately stop using the chain and replace it with new chain.
● When using chain in a lifting device, set up a safety barrier and do not allow anyone to go under the equipment.
● Always install safety equipment (safety covers, etc.) on chain and sprockets.
● Strictly observe the general guidelines listed in Section 1, Chapter 1, 2nd Edition of the Japanese Occupational Safety and
Health Regulations as well as rules and regulations concerning occupational safety and health in your region/country.
● When installing, removing, inspecting, maintaining and oiling chain,
 ・Perform the work as instructed in the manual, catalog or other documentation that was provided with the product.
 ・Before starting work, turn off the power switch and take measures to prevent it from being turned on accidentally.
 ・Secure the chain and parts to prevent them from moving freely.
 ・Use a press tool or other special tools to separate or connect chain, and follow the correct procedures.
 ・Remove and insert pins and rivets in the correct direction.
 ・Wear clothing and protective gear (safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.) that are appropriate for the work.
 ・Only experienced personnel should perform chain replacement.

Caution To prevent accidents, observe the following rules.

● Understand the structure and specifications of the chain that you are handling.
● Before installing chain, inspect it to make sure no damage occurred during delivery.
● Inspect and maintain chain and sprockets at regular intervals.
● Chain strength varies by manufacturer. Only Tsubaki products should be used when chain is selected using Tsubaki catalogs.
● Minimum tensile strength refers to the failure point when the corresponding load is applied to the chain once and does not refer
to the allowable operational load.
