Tsubaki Eco Products The Tsubaki Eco Link is our link to you and the environment, and your link to Ecology & Economy. The design is based on our popular roller chain link plate.

Eco Points

Uses fewer resources, reduces waste Contributes to a clean workplace/usage environment Easily disposable Contains no harmful chemicals Reduces energy consumption and CO 2 emissions Contributes to the surrounding environment Reusable We have divided our environmental activities into seven categories, which are reflected in the design and development of Eco Products.

Our Eco & Eco (Economy & Ecology) philosophy is to reduce our environmental load while giving our customers cost incentives and other measures to help their bottom line by providing them with environmentally friendly products. Tsubaki Group Eco & Eco

Over three times the bush – roller wear life Longer life means less maintenance and lower running costs. Coefficient of friction is reduced by 1/3, greatly reducing the required power and allowing for a chain two sizes smaller to be selected. Greatly reduced CO 2 emissions thanks to lower required power.

Longer lifetime, no lubrication required, environmental- friendly. Maintenance time is reduced, less waste generated. Fits to the millimeter, no additional material or space needed, less downtime due to open construction. Resource conservation, less waste generated.
