Leveraging its vast, international network of corporate and industrial resources, U.S. Tsubaki offers customers the finest power transmission products in the world.

U.S. Tsubaki’s industrial group is currently comprised of four business units: the Roller Chain Division, Engineering Chain Division, Power Transmission Components Division (which includes Sprockets) and the KabelSchlepp Cable & Hose Carrier Division. 

The Roller Chain Division provides some of the most versatile products on the market. Tsubaki innovations have yielded popular problem solvers such as self-lube Lambda® series chain, corrosion-resistant Neptune® chain, fatigue-resistant Super Chains, and rugged Energy Series™ oilfield chains and attachment chains. 

The Engineering Chain Division offers heavy-duty chains designed specifically to meet the demanding needs of a vast array of industries—all designed to prolong wear life under rigorous operating conditions. They use various grades of steel, heat-treated to precise specifications and assembled with accurate press-fits to withstand the requirements of today’s powerful, high-production equipment. 

Tsubaki Sprockets are built from top-grade, heat-treated carbon steel to offer long wear life, resist abrasion and withstand heavy shock loads. Precision manufacturing at their ISO-certified facilities ensures that every U.S. Tsubaki sprocket stands up to critical design specifications and meets the highest quality standards. 

Tsubaki’s Power Transmission Components line includes all Tsubakimoto products other than chain and sprockets. A partial list consists of belts, cam clutches, actuators, dampers, overload protection and reducers. 

The KabelSchlepp Division pro-duces world-class cable and hose carriers in a wide range of sizes and types for a variety of environments. From lightweight micro-sized mono cable carriers to enormous super-duty steel chain designs, Tsubaki KabelSchhlepp has the perfect solution for any application. Wherever shorter production times, faster installation, higher machine cycles, longer service life and better overall value are desired, Tsubaki KabelSchlepp can help.
