Heavy-duty and shock resistant, Tsubaki’s Steel Bushed Chains are built for slow-speed drives and conveyors exposed to grit and abrasion. Trusted in Canada’s toughest industries, they deliver long-lasting performance.

See our Welded Steel Mill Chains for extreme-duty conveying systems.

Excellent for severe working conditions, particularly those with grit or abrasive particulate. 
Utilizes premium steels throughout and proprietary, precisely controlled heat treatments.

Upgrades Available: Corrosion Resistance, Titan XL, SJ2 Sealed Technology



PINS

• Alloy or premium grade carbon steel.
• Heat treated for superior strength and toughness.
  • Core – Through hardened for superior impact resistance.
  • Surface – Case or Induction hardened for extended wear resistance.
• Precision manufactured to maintain high interference fit with sidebars.
  • Prevents pin rotation and subsequent sidebar wear.

BUSHINGS

• Alloy or premium grade carbon steel.
• Heat treated for superior strength.
  • Core – Through hardened for toughness/impact resistance.
  • Surface – Case hardened for ultimate/extended wear resistance.
• Precision machined to maintain smooth bearing surfaces and high interference fit with sidebars.
  • Favorable residual stresses resist fatigue and allow for extended life.

SIDEBARS

• Alloy or premium grade carbon steel.
• Through hardened for superior strength, toughness and fatigue resistance.
• Proprietary manufacturing processes ensure consistent hole quality and precise pitch control.
  • Favorable residual stresses resist fatigue and allow for extended life.
