TSUBAKI Lambda® BS Attachment Chain
Lambda® BS Attachment Chain
Can replace BS chain as-is on existing equipment.
We reviewed the material and processing that go into our special oil-impregnated bushes, and improved the lubricant.
[Expanded line-up]
RS 20B-LM size has been added to Lambda Chain Series (2017.04.01)
Features and Points of Caution
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. *
Reduced initial elongation
Conventional chains experience initial elongation from assembly deviations and a general wearing-in period, which meant troublesome work in adjusting the equipment when starting up. Lambda BS Attachment Chain greatly reduces this initial elongation, thereby reducing adjustment times.
Easy cutting
Uses a “Center sink pin”, which requires no pin grinding during chain cutting, reducing chain cutting and connecting times.
*RS08B to RS16B, single strand. Other sizes and double strand chain use double-staked riveting.

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.
