TSUBAKI Plastic Roller Double Pitch Chain
LSC Series
LSC Chain is a stainless steel chain with special engineering plastic sleeves inserted between the pins and bushes, providing lube-free, long life operation in dry environments.
The base chain uses SUS304 equivalent stainless steel, the engineering plastic rollers are white, and the special engineering plastic sleeves are black.
*This chain is a made-to-order product.
Features
- Uses a special engineering plastic sleeve for lube-free, long life operation.
- Lightweight: 30% lighter than with steel rollers.
- Less running resistance: 30% less running resistance than with steel rollers.
- Quiet: 5 – 7dB quieter than with steel rollers.
- Operating temperature range: Can operate between -20ºC to 80ºC.
Comparison of wear life with stainless steel chain (18-8 stainless steel, SUS304 equivalent)
Operating conditions | Stainless steel roller specifications | Plastic roller specifications |
---|---|---|
Dry environment | Over 4x the wear life | Over 10x the wear life |
In contact with water | Over 4x the wear life | ― |
Underwater | Over 4x the wear life | ― |
* The engineering plastic rollers used with LSC Series may suffer premature wear when using in contact with water or underwater. Use in these environments is not recommended.
Points of Caution
- The engineering plastic rollers used with LSC Series may suffer premature wear when using in contact with water or underwater. Use in these environments is not recommended.
- There is an engineering plastic sleeve (black pipe) between the pins and bushes. Be careful that the sleeve does not fall out when disassembling the chain, and always be sure that the engineering plastic sleeve is inserted between pins and bushes when connecting.
- Regularly clean away any black wear debris that may be generated.
