BS/DIN Drive Lambda
These chains are manufactured to International Standards Organization metric dimensions (ISO 606), British Standard (BS 228), and DIN 8187. They are available in a variety of sizes and types from U.S. Tsubaki and are ideal for use as replacement chains on imported equipment or new machinery manufactured for export. British Standard chains are manufactured with the same quality materials used in our ASME/ANSI standard chains.

Note: Although some dimensions differ from British Standard (DIN), the primary dimensions are identical, enabling BS LAMBDA® to engage perfectly with British Standard sprockets.

  • 1 Width between roller link plates (W) is slightly narrower than ANSI standard, however this chain runs on standard sprockets.
