PLASTIC CHAINS
PLASTIC CHAINS
Standard Series (“P” Series) Plastic chain consists of polyacetal chain links and 304 stainless steel pins. Plastic chain can operate on standard carbon steel sprockets. Plastic chain has a flat top side for power transmission or conveying purposes. “E” Series (Electro-Conductive Series) The special plastic used in the “E” series is electro-conductive and permits electrical charge. These chains are suitable for applications where electric noise and electric sparks exist. Also in areas where dust collects due to static electricity, Volume resistivity: 106 Ω ●cm. “Y” & “SY” Series (Anti-Chemical Series) The “Y” and “SY” series utilizes an engineered plastic which permits the chain to perform well even where chloride, acid, alkaline, oxidizers, and most organic solvents are present. “SY” series is a combination of “Y” series plastic block links and titanium pins and performs well even in environments where sulfuric and hydrochloric acid exists. “K” Series (Heat Resistant Series) For warmer operating conditions, the “K” series is the Tsubaki offering. This plastic chain is made from engineered plastic capable of handling temperatures up to 284˚F. Because of its material combination, the “K” series will not lose its properties in higher temperatures.
Corrosion Resistance Guide The corrosion resistance guide given below should be referrered to when selecting chains. The table presents Tsubaki laboratory tests at 68˚F. Humidity and other conditions should also be considered as well as concentration of chemical and time of exposure.
“E”: Electro-Conductive series, “Y”: Anti-chemical series, “K”: heat resistant series, “N”: Low noise series
