BS NP Chain
BS NP Chain is a Tsubaki BS chain that has been plated with Nickel. NP Chain has a light corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance. NP Chain is suitable for outdoor conditions exposed to water. There is a 15% reduction in Maximum Allowable Load compared to the corresponding BS chain, so please take this into account when making your chain selection. It has a working temperature range of: -10°C to +60°C. Of course, BS Lambda NP chain is also available.

- RF06B-NP chain has flat-shaped link plates.
- Connecting links are clip type for sizes up to RS16B-NP-1, and cotter type for sizes RS16B-NP-1 to RS32B-NP-1.
- Center sink riveting is applied to RS08B-NP-1 and to RS16B-NP-1 single-strand chain.
- Double stake riveting is applied to all other sizes single-strand chain.
- When a single pitch offset link is used, please calculate a 35% reduction of the fatigue strength.
- For details on corrosion resistance selection, please consult our Corrosion Resistance Guide.
