Default Tsubaki final drive chain

Got several new boxes of Tsubaki chain One is the QR series and the other two are HSL series I noticed the rollers turn on the QR style and the rollers do not turn on the HSL series The question is are the rollers stationary on the HSL chain because the are a maintenance free chain ?

Those are good chains the QR series o-ring chains are pretty much adjust twice and forget till the next oil chain i got a shade under 25,000 out one and then the sprockets had worn so bad it beat up the chain . Try this place a bit on both those .
