Tsubaki offers Heavy Duty chains for applications that exceed the capabilities of Tsubaki ANSI G8 standard roller chain. Heavy Duty chain should be considered in the following situations:
•Harsh environments where the chain will be subjected to heavy impact.
•Compact drives for equipment or machines that must work in tight spaces.
•When higher transmission power, allowable load or tensile strength is required.
•When a lower rate of elastic elongation is required.
The dimensions of these series are identical to those of ANSI G8 Series chain. The special design of the SUPER Series link plate delivers exceptional performance. The pitch holes are critically formed and ball drifted and the pins are through-hardened for greater shock resistance (25% to 30%). SUPER Series chains offer 9% higher tensile strength than the equivalent size ANSI G8 Series chain. SUPER Series chains can be used to replace the next larger pitch size of ANSI G8 Series, making them ideal for applications where chain space is limited. Best suited for low speed operating conditions - up to 50 m/min.
