TSUBAKI RS40RIV Roller Chain

Description:

The Tsubaki RS40RIV Curved Roller Chain is used in industrial conveyor and mechanical power transmission systems requiring side-flexing chain operation. Commonly installed in curved conveyor systems, packaging machinery, bottling equipment, material handling systems, and automated manufacturing lines. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this part for repair, retrofit, or replacement of worn curved roller chain drives to maintain reliable product flow through curved conveyor sections.

Applications:

The Tsubaki RS40RIV curved roller chain is designed for conveyor applications that require horizontal side flex while maintaining reliable power transmission. It is commonly used in curved conveyor systems, packaging equipment, beverage production lines, food processing machinery, material handling equipment, and automated assembly systems where ANSI #40 curved roller chains allow products to travel smoothly around bends using standard ANSI sprockets.
