Features of Low Noise Chain

Uses Tsubaki's uniquely structured spring rollers for the chain rollers.

When Tsubaki's Low Noise Roller Chain engages the sprocket, the spring roller deforms and absorbs the force of impact, reducing impact noise between chain-sprocket and achieves low noise.

Proposal for noise reduction

Proposal for noise reduction
  • ・Reduces factory noise and contributes to an improved work environment.
  • ・Lowers the noise level of equipment the chain is installed in, helping create an image of improved quality.
  • ・It is a measure when the belt cannot be used due to restrictions such as strength, usage amount and cost, even if noise is reduced.
  • ・Suppresses the generation of noise in places where sound is important, such as on a stage.

Noise level test for standard RS Roller Chains and Low Noise Chains

6-8dB lowerer noise levels compared to Tsubaki's standard (pre-lubed) RS Roller Chain. (In-house comparison testing )
