What makes Tsubaki Lambda chains lube-free?
Tsubaki Lambda chains use special oil-impregnated bushes that continuously release lubrication during operation, removing the need for external oiling

How much longer is the wear life compared to standard roller chains?
Standard Lambda chains offer more than seven times the wear elongation life of RS roller chains, while X-Lambda chains provide more than five times the life of standard Lambda chains

Can Lambda chains operate at high temperatures?
Yes. Heat-Resistant Lambda chains operate from 150°C to 230°C, using a lubricant that does not deteriorate at high temperatures

Are Lambda chains suitable for food-related applications?
The FG (Food Grade) Lambda chain is designed with NSF-certified lubricants and anti-rust oils and is available for specific chain sizes. Standard Lambda chains must not contact food directly

Are special sprockets required?
Most single-strand Lambda chains use standard RS sprockets, but double-strand and Heavy Duty Lambda chains require special sprockets due to different transverse pitch dimensions
