![](https://product.tkkcorporation.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/2_8_1_6.jpg)
The dimensions are fully interchangeable with existing BS chains.
We reviewed the material and processing that go into our special oil-impregnated bushes, and improved the lubricant.
Features
Improved wear life
Achieves a longer wear life thanks to Tsubaki’s original bearing material, material properties, and oil. By thoroughly minimizing quality deviations, Tsubaki BS Series Lambda Chain demonstrates reliable performance.
Improved the lubricant used in the special oil impregnated bushes.
Used the compliant lubrication to NSF H1 as special contained bush. It also can be used on food machinery. *
Easy cutting
Uses a “Center sink pin”, which requires no pin grinding during chain cutting, reducing chain cutting and connecting times.
*Used from RS08B to 16B-LM-1
Complete kilowatt ratings table for easy selection
Tsubaki offers a complete kilowatt ratings table for selecting the ideal chain for your equipment.

Tsubaki BS/DIN Series Lambda Chain
Chain size
RS12B-LM-with extended pin
The customer approached us about product quality problems from chain oil and wear elongation they were having on their European printing machines. Because the product is paper, there can be no oil stains whatsoever. So they used Lambda Chain, which also helped them increase their conveyor’s operating efficiency.

Safety Precautions for Lambda Chain
- Do not use Lambda Chain if the chain will come in direct contact with food or where coating flakes or wear dust can contaminate food. Also, in non-food applications, appropriately cover the chain or contact a Tsubaki representative about chain selection if using in environments where coating flakes or wear dust present problems. Though nickel is not subject to the japan Food Sanitation Law or the Industry Safety and Health Law, plating on sliding parts can peel.
- Do not use Lambda Chain where there is the possibility of exposure to chemicals, water, or cleaning/degreasing vapors.
- Oil might spatter depending on the usage conditions.
- Please be aware that NSF H1 non-compliant rust prevention oil and assembly oil may be present on the chain.
