Sprockets • Stainless Steel Sprockets ULTRA WP ™ Sprockets

Chains and sprockets must work together, so buying them from the same source makes sense. When chains and sprockets articulate correctly, the life of the chain is extended. That means real value and long-term savings for your operation. U.S. Tsubaki manufactures sprockets that last. We start with strong, carefully selected base materials to ensure long wear life and reliable performance. The result is lower operating costs and improved productivity because downtime for repair and maintenance is reduced.

with corrosion resistance approaching stainless steel without flaking or peeling in the most demanding conditions. U.S. Tsubaki is the only manufacturer in the United States that builds Roller Chains, Engineering Class Chains, and Sprockets. That means you get chains and sprockets that work together every time, reducing operational hassles. You deal with a single, reliable supplier, simplifying everything from deliveries to accounts payable. And you take advantage of our skilled engineering and production teams who can answer your questions and keep your operation running smoothly.

Conditions in the food industry put special demands on sprockets. U.S. Tsubaki has solutions. If your application is in highly corrosive

environments due to frequent washdowns, exposure to moisture, or direct contact with food, put one of our long-lasting Stainless Steel Sprockets to work. Stainless Steel Sprockets are available for food grade or nonfood grade applications. Or choose ULTRA WP™ Sprockets to get the strength of carbon steel

Meat Processing & Packing U.S. Tsubaki is a Cut Above

Sanitary washdowns, high humidity, caustic or acidic environments, high shock loads — meat processing and packing take a heavy toll on chains and sprockets. Don’t let corrosion and premature wear eat away at your profits. We offer thousands of standard, lube-free, and corrosion- resistant chains and sprockets that perform in the most demanding conditions. Our forged chain construction methods reduce surface pitting, eliminating places where pathogens can grow. And our sprockets cut down on chain-joint wear on overhead processing lines, extending the life of the chain and increasing your bottom line.

U.S. Tsubaki delivers: • ULTRA WP ™ Chains and Sprockets, which last longer than nickel- or zinc-plated chains and sprockets in sanitary washdowns without flaking or peeling, keeping your lines running longer. • LAMBDA ® Chains , which require no addi- tional post-lubrication, making them ideal for operations where the chain cannot be lubed. • ULTRA WP ™ LAMBDA ® Chain — a U.S. Tsubaki innovation — for super-long-lasting lube-free performance in harsh, wet environ- ments with less chain elongation and longer operating life. • 600(AS) Stainless Steel Chain — the strongest stainless steel available — which handles high loads in corrosive environments and keeps your operation running. • LS Chain — lube-free stainless steel chain — for maintenance-free performance in corrosive environments.

• Extended pitch attachment chains that resist corrosion from frequent washdowns so you can run vacuum-packing machines longer. • Chains and sprockets that help you meet sanitation goals, HACCP System regulations, and agency inspectors’ requirements. • Overhead conveyor chains that resist corro- sion and flaking, even after hundreds of washdowns, which means longer wear life. • Long-lasting RS Roller Chain — the best ANSI standard chain in the industry — in the sizes and lengths you need. • Thousands of attachment chains — includ- ing specialty chains developed for the meat and poultry industries — in stock and ready for shipment when you need them. • Shock Relay — the electronic shear pin — that protects products and equipment from shock load damage.
