| PLATE COLORS |  |
GOLD/GOLD | Both Inner-and outer link plates have electrolytic applied gold color plating providing some corrosion protection and attractive appearance. |
 |
STEEL/GOLD | Outer link plates have electrolytic applied gold color plating providing some corrosion protection and attractive appearance, inner link plates have a plain steel color. |
|
 |
STEEL STEEL | Both Inner- and outer link plates are plain steel colored. | |
| CHAIN TYPE |  |
TX4-RING | Ultra low friction X-shaped seal-rings preventing inner lubrication to come out and dirt to come in the chain. |
 |
O-RING | O-shaped seal-rings preventing inner lubrication to come out and dirt to come in the chain. |
|
 |
NON-SEALED | Roller chain without seal-rings. | |
| Riveting method |  |
QUAD-STAKE |
Press-fitted and 4-times riveted pins for additional strength and extra resistance against push-out forces. |
 |
SPIN-RIVETED PIN | Full round pin-riveting method providing better distribution of stress in link plates and extra resistance against push-out forces. |
|
| BUSHING TYPE |  |
SOLID BUSHING | Perfectly round bushings providing higher resistance to repetitive shock-loads resulting in a longer life-span of the chain. |
 |
RIVETED BUSHING | Projected and riveted bushings prevent kinking and seizure of the chain when used in muddy conditions. |
|
 |
CURLED BUSHING | Type of bushings with a split which are sufficient for standard roller chains. | |
| PIN TREATMENT |  |
CHROMIZED | Pin-treatment for a hard-chrome surface providing a longer wear-life of the chain under severe conditions. |
 |
CARBONIZED | Pin treatment for thoughness and a hard surface providing a longer wear life of the chain. |
|
 |
CASE HARDENED | Pin-treatment to improve the resistance to wear. | |
| DURABILITY Expected lifespan |
 |
5.000 - 10.000 Km | for Gamma series, when fitted with new sprockets and maintained properly according to instructions. |
 |
10.000 - 20.000 Km | for Omega & Alpha series, when fitted with new sprockets and maintained properly according to instructions. |
|
 |
20.000 - 30.000 Km | for Sigma & Alpha XRG series, when fitted with new sprockets and maintained porperly according to instructions. | |
| Horsepower rating |  |
HP-range within which the chain can be used related to motorcycle manufacturers spec's of vehicles intended for legal road-usage and to our stated expected chain life-span. for application on vehicles with a capacity up to the mentioned value within the chain series and size. Tsubaki perfoms a series of stress-tests according to Japanese Industry Standard (JIS B 1801-199) Of all data average value is stated. The higher the value, the stronger the chain. |
