BS Lambda Chain
Tsubaki's Lambda Chains were the first in the industry to use a special oil-impregnated bush. Since their launch in 1988, they have been adopted for diverse industries and applications, and their performance has been highly rated. Tsubaki has a wide line-up of lube-free, long life products that help customers reduce costs.

- Connecting links are clip type for sizes up to RS16B-LM, and cotter type for sizes RS20B-LM to RS24B-LM.
- RF06B-LM chain has flat shaped link plates.
- Centre sink riveting is applied for RS08B-LM-1 to RS16B-LM-1. Double stake riveting is applied to all other sizes including multi-strand chain.
- Warning: previous generations of Lambda chain can not be connected with the above chains due to different dimensions.
- When a single pitch offset link is used, please calculate a 35% reduction of the fatigue strength.
- The listed sizes are stock items, other chain sizes are available on request.
- Also available in N.E.P. specification.
