Matching sprockets, idlers, hubs and bored-to-drawing components for ISO/BS and ANSI chain systems, including replacement and custom-machined interfaces.
Matched to chain standardA sprocket must match the chain pitch, roller diameter, strand count and tooth-form standard. Bore, hub, keyway and setscrew details are then matched to the shaft. For replacements, the fastest route is the chain size plus tooth count and a hub/bore drawing.
| Parameter | Value / option | Evidence / selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Chain standards | ISO/BS and ANSI families | Match chain |
| Strands | Simplex / duplex / triplex | By chain |
| Execution | Type A / B / C, bushed and idler options | By application |
| Tooth count | Standard and custom | Subject to diameter envelope |
| Bore | Stock / taper bush / custom machined | By shaft |
| Tooth hardening | Optional on selected executions | By duty |
Do not select a gripper or attachment chain from tensile strength alone. Fit depends on sprocket engagement, pitch, width, attachment location, product contact geometry, conveyor path, lubrication and environmental conditions. For replacement work, a dimensioned sample or drawing is preferred.
Pair the gripper or conveyor chain with the correct base chain, attachments and sprocket where the application requires it.
Market-reference profileA 3/4 in pitch gripper-chain platform for incline, decline and side-grip conveying layouts. Final insert geometry, material and sprocket interface are confirmed against your conveyor drawing or sample.
