Tsubaki Announces the Eighth Generation of Drive Chain 100th Anniversary Series

As a result of a century of engineering experience, Tsubaki launched its newest innovation – the Eighth Generation of Drive Chain Series. Tsubaki focuses on research and development in new technology and products to respond to ever-increasing industry demand.

The Series

• G8 Roller Chain – Offers 20% increased wear life than our G7 Series. The G8 chain offers anti-rust lubrication, our one-of-a-kind solid lube groove bushings and patented ring-coining connecting links.
• G8 Neptune Series Chain – Uses a new surface treatment structure that combines Tsubaki’s uniquely developed special coating and special resin coating for superb corrosion (rust) and chemical resistance.
• G8 Lambda Series Chain – New bushing technique was developed using new materials, density, and oil types. Tsubaki G8 Lambda Chain now uses NSF-H1 food grade lubricant. These new techniques give this chain double the wear life of the previous model and is now suitable for use with food equipment.
• G8 Heavy Duty Series Chain – The goal is to find ways to improve the fatigue strength without changing the dimensional properties of the chain.
  • Super Roller Chain - 5 to 10% higher maximum allowable load (MAL) than previous series or 40% greater MAL than standard Tsubaki roller chain.
  • Super-H Series Chain – 20% higher maximum allowable load (MAL) than previous series or 60% greater MAL than standard Tsubaki roller chain.
  • HT Roller Chain – Twice the wear life of the previous series; slip-fit connecting link and solid bushings were introduced to this series.

Chain Inspection: Highly Corroded Feeder Breaker

Observation:

This is competitor’s 3.5” feeder breaker chain sample that was sent to our Technical Support Team for failure analysis. Tsubaki provided a thorough analysis and made appropriate solutions backed by a century of experience. The chain was observed to be highly corroded with apparent pitting and layer of fully-formed rust penetrating all parts.
