Super Stainless™ chain combines the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with the strength of carbon steel. This chain offers a higher side-bar waist and greater fatigue strength, as well as hardened pins and bushings. The result is a 100% compliant ASME B29.1 roller chain made entirely of stainless steel.

Super Stainless™ chain is up to 6X stronger than ordinary stainless steel chain.

Ideal for applications involving:

• Freezers
• Food packaging/processing
• Underwater applications
• Exposure to harsh cleaners
• High-speed conveyors
• High-temperature ovens

NEPTUNE® chain resists corrosion when exposed to harsh outdoor environments, including seawater. The exclusive NEPTUNE surface treatment process gives the chain its unique matte grey color and provides a protective finish that is more corrosion resistant than Nickel-Plated chains. NEPTUNE chain has the same high maximum allowable load as our standard carbon steel roller chain.

NICKEL-PLATED CHAIN
Nickel-Plated chains provide acceptable performance where equipment must operate in mildly corrosive environments.

600 AS SERIES
AS Series chains are an excellent choice for drives requiring both corrosion resistance and high load capacity. Link plates are made of 304 stainless steel and the round parts are made of hardened 600 series stainless steel. Of all the stainless steel chains offered by U.S. Tsubaki, AS Series has the highest load capacity. Use where stainless steel is required by FDA regulations.

Tsubaki offers a variety of stainless steel chains to fulfill different applications. Explore our product options and find the right chain for your operational needs.

Stainless Steel Chain Options

U.S. Tsubaki Poly-Steel chains are made to exacting specifications from polyacetal stainless steel.
The combination of polyacetal inner links and 304 stainless steel pins and outer link plates effectively incorporates the advantages of both materials into one chain. U.S. Tsubaki Poly-Steel chains can be used in both driving and conveying applications.
