Ideal for industries like food processing, marine, chemical, and outdoor machinery, our products meet rigorous standards for quality and efficiency. With precise manufacturing and strict quality control, we deliver sprockets that enhance your equipment's lifespan and operational smoothness.
Below are the detailed specifications for our stainless steel sprockets, designed to help you select the perfect fit for your application.
| Parameter | Range | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Bore Diameter | 10 - 100 | mm |
| Number of Teeth | 6 - 60 | - |
| Pitch | 8 - 50 | mm |
| Width | 5 - 80 | mm |
| Weight (approx.) | 0.1 - 5.0 | kg |
Our sprockets are versatile and suitable for various industries. Common applications include conveyor systems in food processing plants, marine equipment exposed to saltwater, chemical handling machinery, agricultural implements, and outdoor power transmission systems. Their resistance to harsh conditions makes them a top choice for reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
What makes stainless steel sprockets better than carbon steel ones?
Stainless steel sprockets offer superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for wet, humid, or chemically aggressive environments. Unlike carbon steel, they do not rust easily, which extends their lifespan and reduces maintenance needs. Additionally, stainless steel provides good strength and hygiene, crucial for industries like food and pharmaceuticals.
How do I choose the right size sprocket for my application?
Selecting the correct size involves considering the chain pitch, number of teeth, bore diameter, and hub configuration. Match the sprocket to your chain's specifications (e.g., ANSI or ISO standards) and ensure the bore fits your shaft. Our product tables and customer support can assist in making the right choice based on your machine's requirements.
Can stainless steel sprockets be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, our stainless steel sprockets can withstand temperatures from -50°C to 400°C (-58°F to 752°F). For extreme heat, we recommend 316 stainless steel due to its higher temperature resistance and stability. Always verify the operating conditions to ensure optimal performance.
What maintenance is required for these sprockets?
Stainless steel sprockets require minimal maintenance. Regular inspections for wear and tear, along with occasional lubrication using food-grade or compatible oils (if needed), are sufficient. Their corrosion-resistant properties mean they often perform well without frequent cleaning in most environments.
Are custom sizes or configurations available?
Yes, we offer custom manufacturing for special sizes, teeth profiles, or bore types. Provide your specifications, and our engineering team will work with you to create sprockets that meet your exact needs, ensuring compatibility and performance.
How does the hardness of stainless steel affect sprocket performance?
The hardness (150-200 HB) ensures good wear resistance and durability, allowing the sprocket to handle high loads without deformation. Softer materials might wear faster, but our sprockets are heat-treated if necessary to balance hardness with toughness for long-lasting operation.
