Nylon Chain Couplings

The TSUBAKI Nylon Chain Coupling is a
nonlubricated, clean flex coupling consisting
of a nylon chain and a pair of coupling
sprockets. A slip-fitted couple pin allows for
easy assembly and disassembly. The Nylon
Chain Coupling is ideal for application in the
food and textile industries.

■ Features
Outstanding Durability
The coupling performs outstanding durability with
the torque on the coupling shared with the surface-
hardened teeth of the sprockets and the powerful
roller chains that engage with the teeth.

Easy Coupling and Decoupling

Both shafts can be easily coupled or decoupled
with a single joint pin inserted into or extracted
from the roller chains.

● Fit Bore Series ̶See page 7̶
TSUBAKI offers 117 dimensions of standard bore processing
and deliver them within a short time in response to orders.
The standard tolerance of bore processing is based on H7 and
support to the tolerances of press fitting too.
Keyway tolerances are in conformity with new JIS Js9 and P9
and old JIS F7 and E9.

■ Body Construction
Body Sprocket
The body consists of two dedicated (Induction hardened teeth)
sprockets with hardened teeth and two-
strand roller chains. The sprockets are
coupled when the chains are wound around Two Strand Roller Chain

Notes: 1. The pilot bores of the items in bold are normally in stock, while those in regular typeface are made to order. If you require a size larger than those
specified, please consult TSUBAKI.
2. The range of bore diameters for the CR4012-J to CR16022-J conforms to JIS standards. However, the minimum bore diameter can be of larger bore
than the pilot bore. The maximum bore diameter shows the permissible bore diameter for standard smooth transmission with no impact or reverse
rotation.
3. The items in regular typeface are made to order and the dimension“DH”is just for reference.
4. Inertia and GD2 are based on pilot bore.

based on the outer circumference of the hub. Be
careful not to degrade tooth runout "a" or "b" in that
case.

 Safety Instructions
Death or serious injury may result from misusing the product without following the directions given
WARNING under this sign.
Minor or moderate injury, as well as damage to the product may result from misusing the product without
CAUTION following the directions given under this sign.
Note : Failure take heed of information labeled “CAUTION” may also lead to serious accidents depending on the situation.

WARNING
(General)
● Install a safety cover and prevent access to any rotating parts: otherwise injury may occur. Set a safety mechanism to stop the
rotating parts when the cover is lifted.
● Transporting, installing, operating, maintaining or inspecting must be carried out by skilled and professional engineers to avoid
mis-handling and hazardous situations.
● When coupling is used with vehicles that carry human, use a device to protect the vehicle: otherwise, accidents and damage
may occur.
● When the coupling is used for an elevator, install a safety device on the elevator in order to prevent it from falling, which can
cause damage and accidents resulting in death or injury.
(Unpacking upon delivery)
● If delivered in a wooden case, unpack with care. Sharp nails may cause injury.
(Additional machining)
● Never modify the coupling; the quality or function of the product may decrease and break or damage the machine or injure the
operator.
(Transportation)
● Never step under the product when it is being elevated for transportation: otherwise, either the poduct or load may fall, causing
accidents resulting in death or injury.
(Installation)
● Wear appropriate clothing and safety gear (safety goggles, gloves, shoes, etc.).
● Make sure the power is switched off, and the machine is completely stopped before installing. Take caution so that the power
does not reconnect accidentally.
● Make sure to tighten and apply sufficient amount of anti-loosening agent to the hexagonal socket head cap screws.
(Operation)
● Avoid contact with any rotating parts ( coupling, shaft, etc. ) during operations. Rotating parts can catch approaching objects
and cause serious injuries.
(Maintenance and inspection)
● Avoid contact with any rotating parts ( coupling, shaft, etc. ) during maintenance and inspection. Rotating parts can catch
approaching objects and cause serious injuries.
● Make sure the power is switched off, and the machine is completely stopped before carrying out maintenance and inspection.
Take caution so that the power does not reconnect accidentally.
Make sure the driving and driven equipment are also completely stopped.

CAUTION
(General)
● Do not use coupling beyond its capacity as specified in the catalog. Exceeding its capacity can break the machine and cause
injuries.
● Do not use damaged couplings. They can break your equipment and cause injuries.
(Transportation)
● Pay extra attention so that the equipment will not fall or rollover during transportations.
(Installation)
● Do not touch the edge and inner diameter of any part with bare hands to avoid possible injury.
● Make sure to align the drive and driven shafts as instructed in the manual when installing the coupling.
(Operation)
● Do not touch the coupling during operations to avoid injuries.
● Immediately stop the machine upon any sign of abnormal operation.
(Maintenance and inspection)
● Wear appropriate clothing and safety gear (safety goggles, gloves, shoes, etc.).
● Clean the surrounding area and maintain a clutter-free space to avoid secondary accidents.
● Comply with Ordinance on Labor Safety and Hygiene 2-1-1 general standards.
● Conduct periodic inspections to make sure that the drive and driven shafts are aligned as described in the manual, and that the
rubber and plastic parts are not worn or deformed.
(Environment)
● Coupling scraps should be disposed as general waste by skilled professionals.
● This coupling meets RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances) standards and contains no hazardous chemicals.
