ANSI X-LAMBDA LUBE-FREE ROLLER CHAINTen years after introducing the number-one LAMBDA <strong>Chain</strong> to the market in 1988,TSUBAKI has developed innovative technology that sets the bar even higher forlube-free chain performance. To the user the benefits that X-Lambda provides meanincreased productivity, reduced maintenance and a cleaner working environment.Technical Evolution of ANSI LAMBDAANSI X-LAMBDA chain is a quantum leap for power transmissiontechnology. The basic ANSI LAMBDA components (a specialcoated pin and oil-impregnated sintered bush) are complementedwith special felt seals (patent pending) between the inner andouter link plate that lock in lube while keeping dirt and abrasivesout.Connecting MethodWhen connecting the chain, use an ANSI X-LAMBDA chain connectinglink (with a felt seal). As shown in Fig. 11 insert felt sealsbetween the outer plate and the connecting link plate, thenattach the link.Connecting LinkBecause of this evolution ANSI X-LAMBDA chain greatly increasesthe performance of the ANSI LAMBDA chains. When your operationneeds to run clean, when machines and conveyed materialsmust be free from contact with oil, or when lubrication is difficult,ANSI X-LAMBDA chain can extend the life of your operation drastically.Felt SealFelt SealSpecial OilImpregnatedSintered BushSpecial Coated PinFelt SealConnecting Link PlateSpring ClipFig. 11 Connecting Method ANSI X-LAMBDAInter-ChangeabilityFig. 10 Basic ConstructionFelt SealRollerAdvantagesIn addition to all ANSI LAMBDA advantages, ANSI X-LAMBDAoffers:Extended Wear LifeEven longer wear life than basic ANSI LAMBDA chain (over5 times longer).<strong>Chain</strong>s:ANSI X-LAMBDA chain is interchangeable with standard ANSIroller chain. However, as the pins are longer than those of thestandard ANSI roller chain, please make sure that there is nointerference with the machine.Sprockets:Standard ANSI roller chain sprockets can be used. However, dueto the extended lifetime of ANSI X-LAMBDA chain, TSUBAKIadvises to install sprockets with hardened teeth in every LAMBDAapplication.Applicable in Dusty EnvironmentsExtra protection of critical areas due to the specially developedfelt seal.16Innovation in Motion
