SSP ChainHigh Performance Stainless Chain
The use of special parts (made of NSSC550) with thecorrosion resistance equivalent to that of SUS304 leads tohigher performance, achieving wear life approx. 5 times
longer than and maximum allowable tension approx.
3 times higher than stainless steel (SS) (reference values)■Operating temperature range: -20°
C‒400°C■Salt spray test: A spray test to evaluate corrosion resistance, where sodiumchloride solution is sprayed to a sample to test the acceleration of corrosion.

Stainless chains are not lubricated before shipment. Please make sure tolubricate them before you use them in environments other than underwater orplaces where chains are exposed to water. If used unlubricated, the chains
may experience premature bending failure.

(for SUS304 plates, as well as NSSC550 pins, bushes, and rollers)(Testing condition: Using 3.5% NaCl solution, with argon
degassed, at 30°C)

NSSC550 are used where wear
occurs at pins, bushes (solidbushes), and rollers (SUS304 forplates).
2■Pins,
bushes, and rollers are
special heat-treated to achievehardness equivalent to iron. A
salt spray test proves parts
retains corrosion resistancesimilar to SUS304.The chain ismagnetized.
3■Compatible
with 40, 50, 60, 80,
C2040, C2050, C2060H, andC2080H!
SUS304 for double-pitch large
rollers.
4■Beingthe same measurement asexisting stainless chains, it iscompatible with various
attachments!
