provides Sprockets for all 1 x 1 and 1/2 x 1 flat wire belting. We stock
all common sprocket sizes for both Standard Duty (STD) and Heavy
Duty (HD) specifications and are readily available in three different
materials:
Cast
Iron - These sprockets should be considered first when choosing
sprocket material because they offer high strength at an affordable price.
Note: Can be
furnished with flame hardened teeth to increase sprocket life.
Ultra
High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene (Poly) - These
sprockets are used where protection from corrosion is required and at temperatures
up to 180º F. They are ideal for food handling applications, where
cast iron cannot be used. They offer complete corrosion resistance at a
more economical price than stainless steel sprockets.
304
Stainless Steel - These sprockets are ideal for conveying
loads in heat applications and/or sanitary environments. These sprockets
should be chosen only when Cast Iron or Poly cannot be used. They offer
high strength, corrosion and heat resistance.

LOCATION
OF SPROCKETS
Proper sprocket location as shown in the drawing on the left is essential
for smooth belt operation. Sprocket teeth must always drive against the
connector rods. This is accomplished by locating the Drive sprockets
so that the teeth are in the odd numbered openings.
It is very important when mounting sprockets to have the long side of the
hubs all facing the same direction. Avoid placing drive sprockets so that
they drive on the outside mesh openings. |
