TSUBAKI RS40-CU-1-RP-U Curved Roller Conveyor Chain

Description:

The Tsubaki RS40-CU-1-RP-U Curved Roller Chain is used in industrial power transmission and curved conveyor systems where lateral chain flexibility is required. Commonly installed in curved conveyors, packaging machinery, material handling systems, automated assembly lines, and manufacturing equipment requiring smooth directional changes. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this chain for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement to maintain reliable power transmission through curved conveyor paths.

Applications:

The Tsubaki RS40-CU-1-RP-U curved roller chain is engineered for conveyor applications that require significant side flex while maintaining the strength of a standard ANSI No. 40 roller chain. Its unique pin and bushing design allows the chain to navigate curves using standard ANSI sprockets, making it ideal for curved conveyor systems, packaging equipment, bottling lines, material handling systems, and automated production machinery where space-efficient layouts and continuous product flow are essential. Guides are recommended in all curved sections for proper operation.
