Ring-Coining Makes Connecting Links Stronger Connecting links can be weak links in some chains. Tsubaki’s connecting links are as strong as the base chain. Our patented ring-coining process increases fatigue strength and durability. You get longer service life and superior performance for your application.
Higher Tensile Strength Increased chain tensile strength is achieved by pin material selection, heat-treatment, and precise diameter control to maintain high and consistent press-fit construction. Tsubaki ANSI Chains are built for better strength and durability, even under high shock loads.
Greater Fatigue Strength Tsubaki carefully chooses link plate material, fabrication methods, heat-treatment, and shot-peening techniques to improve link plate fatigue strength. Our ring-coined cover plate design strengthens the connecting link, providing the same fatigue resistance as the base chain. Tsubaki ANSI Chains last longer and perform more efficiently, adding to your bottom line.

Tsubaki ring-coined connecting links outlast and outperform the competition.
Advanced technology allows us to combine the strength, durability, and reliability of a solid bushing with our patented lube groove on the inner surface. Our exclusive PerforMax ™ bushings can double chain wear life in many applications. The PerforMax ™ bushing is available in ANSI sizes 80–140 to handle the most demanding chain operations.

Lube Grooves Keep Oil Where It’s Needed Most
Abrasion in the pin-bushing joint due to poor lubrication is the number one cause of chain replacement. That’s why Tsubaki ANSI Chains have a special lube groove on the inner surface of the bushing to retain lube at the point
