BS NP Chain

BS NP Chain is a Tsubaki BS chain that has been plated with nickel. NP Chain has a light corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance. NP Chain is suitable for outdoor conditions exposed to water. There is a 15% reduction in Maximum Allowable Load compared to the corresponding BS chain, so please take this into account when making your chain selection. It has a working temperature range of: -10°C to +60°C. Of course, BS Lambda NP Chain is also available.
