TSUBAKI Plastic Top Chain
TPS Series
Features a line-up of plastic pin types that are lightweight and easy to handle/replace.
- TPS: Stainless steel pin type
- TPS-P: Plastic pin type
Line-up & features
Connecting pin: SUS304 D-pin
Connecting pin: Special engineering plastic D-pin
- Features 1.4x the allowable load of TTP Series, making it ideal for heavier load operations.
- Can use the same sprocket as plastic top chain for curved conveyance (TTUP, TPU). Parts are also interchangeable.
- All plastic chain — lightweight, easy to handle and replace. Users can expect longer life under water lubrication conditions than with stainless steel pins.
* TSUBAKI switched from knurled pins to D-pins for all connecting pins from January 2009.
* Knurled pin and D-pin chains cannot be connected. When replacing, please replace the entire chain.
Reference Number System
TPS | 826 | P | – | LFB |
(1) | (2) | (3) | (4) |
(1) Model
(2) Plate width: mm (Example) 826 = 82.6mm
(3) Plastic pin code: Blank = Stainless steel pin type, P = Plastic pin type
(4) Series code*:
[TPS]
Blank = Standard series, LFW/LFG/LFB = Low friction, Anti-wear, ALF = Ultra-low friction and wear resistant, WR = Low friction, DIA/DIY = Impact resistant, KV = High speed, heat resistant [TPS-P]
Blank = Standard series, LFW/LFG/LFB = Low friction, Anti-wear, ALF = Ultra-low friction and wear resistant, DIY = Impact resistant
Notice: Integration of ULF Series with ALF Series
- We will be integrating ULF Series Plastic Top Chain with ALF Series on orders from April 2017.
- We will be integrating ALF Series with ULF Series Plastic Modular Chain and Plastic Block Chain on orders from June 2017.
- Contact a Tsubaki representative for more information regarding ULF Series after integration.
* ALF Series (ultra-low friction and wear resistant series) dramatically reduces the amount of wear debris generated from sliding with running rails (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) under non-lubricated conditions while maintaining the same ultra low coefficient of friction coefficient as the conventional ULF Series.
