Europe
For standard situations, Tsubaki can provide you with two outstanding roller
chains:
the GT4 Winner and the ANSI G8
Since 1917 Tsubakimoto Chain Company has maintained a line-up
of cutting-edge chain products with exceptional quality and performance that
help end-users meet their power transmission and conveying requirements. Tsubaki
is proud to introduce the 4th generation, enhanced BS/DIN European premium chain.
The product is available in chain sizes from RF06B up to RS48B*. Simplex, duplex
and triplex executions are at your disposal.
* RF06B curled
bush; RS56B/RS72B on request
Advantages
Tsubaki GT4 Winner is enhanced with the following
advantages:
Lube Groove (LG) Bush
Tsubaki Lube Groove (LG) seamless
bushes are precision components and perfectly cylindrical. Our special lube
grooves hold oil at the point of contact, where the chain needs it most, providing
an internal reservoir for lubricant. The result is a chain that lasts longer
with lower maintenance costs over the lifetime of the chain.
Seamless Bush: Perfectly Cylindrical
The new Tsubaki
BS/DIN series chain has a seamless bush with a very precise cylindrical profile
and surface finishing resulting in better surface contact between the pin and
bush, and improved lubricant retention.
Ring Coin: Increased Transmission Capacity
The Ring Coined
connecting link allows the chain to be specified up to its full kW rating. The
precision and strength achieved on these components is far beyond that of competitor's
offerings. The typical standard slip-fit connecting link is usually much weaker
than the other links. Tsubaki's Ring Coin technology has overcome that.
Easy dis-assembly
With Tsubaki's design of rivet head,
the chain is easily dis-assembled with an additional benefit being that in the
event of the chain being overloaded, the markings on the rivet head will identify
pin rotation.
CO2 Reduction
Tsubaki takes its environmental
responsibility very seriously in its state-of-the-art production facilities.
The new BS/DIN series chain contributes significantly to reducing CO2
emissions due to the strongly extended replacement frequency.
Constant Quality Level
In pursuit of outstanding quality,
every Tsubaki chain is made of a special steel alloy, the specification of which
has been developed by the Tsubaki Engineering Department, for selected steel
mills to work with. Besides that, Tsubaki produces the GT4 Winner under highly
controlled conditions in its advanced heat treatment facilities. This, in combination
with the Tsubaki fatigue strength confirmation tests, ensures that our customers
can always rely on a constant level of Tsubaki quality.
Availability
Supplied in a new high quality box design
for the European market, GT4 Winner is available in sizes 06B to 48B as standard,
larger sizes are available on request. Stock of the new GT4 Winner chain will
be held by TSUBAKI throughout Europe and by many leading distribution partners,
making it available for next-day delivery in most areas.

Technical Evolution
All ANSI Chains Are Not Created Equal
ANSI defines minimum
threshold standards: acceptable, but they won't improve your bottom line. Tsubaki
ANSI G8 Chains set the bar higher with design innovations that deliver solid
results!
Solid Lube Groove Bush - Our Latest Innovation
Unlike
curled bush, Tsubaki SOLID Lube Groove Bush does not have a split. This means
that oil cannot leak from the bearing area as a result of that type of manufacturing
process. Additional to that innovation Tsubaki developed a unique process to
add grooves to the inner surface of the solid bush. This lube groove process
ensures longer and better lubrication which results in an extended chain life.
The Lube Groove Bush is available in ANSI sizes RS80 through RS140, perfectly
sized for the most demanding applications.
Advantages
Tsubaki has enhanced the ANSI G8 with the
following advantages:
Save Operating Costs and Reduce Downtime
Normally, ANSI
chains are removed or replaced due to elongation caused by wear in the pin-bush
joint. The patented Lube Groove retains lubricant right where it's needed: in
the pin-bush joint. In many applications you'll notice a significant difference
in maintenance, operating, and replacement costs due to the increased reliability
of the ANSI G8 chains.
Increased kW Rating
Transmission capacity has been increased
by applying the patented Tsubaki Ring Coining process on the connecting link
plate.
For easy assembling the pin and link plate of a connecting link are slip fit. In general, this type of connecting link has a 20% lower fatigue strength than the chain itself. However, Tsubaki developed a special process to eliminate that loss of Fatigue Strength and still satisfy the customers demand for easy assembly: the patented Ring Coining process. By applying the patented Ring Coining process, Tsubaki generates a cold deformation around the pin hole of the connecting link plate. This results in residual stress around the pin hole and thereby adds strength. By using this process transmission capacity is increased to 100% of that of the base chain.
Constant Quality Level
In pursuit of outstanding quality,
every Tsubaki chain is made of a special steel alloy developed by the Tsubaki
Engineering Department.
Besides that, Tsubaki produces the ANSI G8 under
highly controlled conditions in its advanced heat treatment facilities. This,
in combination with the Tsubaki fatigue strength confirmation tests, ensures
that our customers can always rely on a constant level of Tsubaki quality.
