New N.E.P. roller chain from Tsubaki employs an innovative metal coating process that allows a carbon steel chain to be used in wet conditions without corroding. The multi-layer metal coating process is modified for different components of the chain balancing corrosion protection with wear resistance to outperform alternative solutions many times over. An additional stand-out feature of N.E.P. chain is that its manufacturing process and component materials comply with new RoHS guidelines on restricting the use of hazardous substances such as Chromium, materials that have until now been an essential component of all high-strength corrosion resistant chain.<\/p>\n
Various coating methods have been used to protect the surface of carbon steel chain from corrosion when used in an environment where moisture is present. The problem with this in the past has been that some surface coatings are extremely hard, such a chromium and tend to peel-off due to surface pressure exerted by drive sprockets, or galvanisation which is softer and wears away quickly as the chain articulates, thus leaving critical components open to corrosion.<\/p>\n
Tsubaki N.E.P chain however uses a combination of three layers of surface coating, combining a highly resistant base layer that bonds a harder wear-resistant coating onto the chain bushes where they come into contact with sprocket teeth. An additional tough external coating is then used to cover and seal all the other component surfaces with further corrosion protection. <\/p>\n
N.E.P. chain also has a reduced impact on the environment through lower emissions during manufacture and the selection of less damaging materials in its construction. Previous corrosion resistant chains relied on the use of chromium derivatives such as
\nHexavalent Chromium and Trivalent Chromium as water resistant coatings, N.E.P. chain however uses none of these materials and actually doesn’t contain any chemically hazardous substances at all. It therefore complies with current RoHS guidelines on reducing the use of hazardous materials. <\/p>\n
N.E.P. drive chain is compatible with standard sprocket dimensions and is available from stock in RF06B – RS24B simplex (7 sizes) and RF06B – RS20B duplex (6 sizes). N.E.P. attachment chain in available in a variety of common configurations including a self-lubricating Lambda version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
