Leave it to Tsubaki to develop an innovative roller chain that combines the lower noise levels normally associated with belts with the strength of a roller chain: Tsubaki’s SN Roller Chain. The chain employs a spring roller, which absorbs the force of the impact from engaging the sprocket. The result is 6-8dB lower operation than our standard pre-lubed RS Roller Chain, countering noise pollution and improving the overall work environment.
And again, along with lower noise you get all the strength of a roller chain and the reliability you’ve come to expect from Tsubaki. What’s more, our SN Chains are directly interchangeable with our Standard Roller Chain, with some limits to its drive power.
One such example is in industrial washing machines. A UK industrial laundry concern was given the task of completely overhauling a customer’s existing machines to be quieter. Realizing that the existing drive chain was the problem, they were on the verge of re-engineering the entire design when a local power transmission distributor recommended Tsubaki’s SN Chain.
The results were immediate, and the customer was particularly pleased that the original drive chain strength could be preserved. Low noise in the workplace helped them reduce operator fatigue and indirectly contributed to improved productivity.
Tsubaki SN Low Noise Drive Chains bare an ideal alternative for maintaining strength while reducing noise. You’ll find these chains being used in theatrical stage equipment, warehouses, canning machines, vertical parking systems, printing machines, and any number of applications where strength and low noise are desired.
Our Low Noise Chain may be a whisper below the competition, but it speaks volumes. Trust Tsubaki for all your chain needs!
