Epsilon Chain Stainless Steel Series

- Chain pitch 1.905mm! Power transmission in extremely small spaces
- The world's smallest* roller chain.
- In winding transmission in narrow spaces, it can be designed to be more compact than toothed belts or wire ropes.

Features
1.World's smallest size
Achieved the world's smallest roller chain with a chain pitch of 1.905mm.
The height, overall width, and mass are in a class of its own compared to conventional products, enabling transmission in an astonishingly small space.
Combined with the smallest sprocket with 9 teeth, the bend radius is very compact, approximately 7.6 mm.

2.Ensure sufficient strength
Even though the chain is small, its tensile strength is 0.36kN.
By generously applying Tsubaki's core technologies, a small yet strong chain with a high spec is completed.
Generally, small chains are bushed chains with no rollers, but we are particular about the structure with rollers.
Contributes to longer service life of sprockets and other peripheral components.
3.Compatible with corrosive environments

Stainless steel is used as the material because we want the product to be used for a long time in a variety of environments.
Can be used in environments where water is applied, such as for cleaning.
Application examples
Chain size reduction enables downsizing and weight reduction for various applications.
In addition, the smaller backlash is expected to improve operating accuracy.
