Industrial Sprocket Wheel

Name: Chain Sprocket Wheel for Industrial Machinery – Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

An Industrial Sprocket Wheel used in fluctuating torque environments must maintain full engagement with minimal micro-slip under dynamic loads. By utilizing vacuum-degassed alloy steel and gradient-controlled heat treatment, the sprocket ensures uniform hardness across the teeth and core. This mechanical consistency allows for stable torque transfer during rapid load reversals and prevents surface galling in servo or hydraulic-driven systems.

Dimensional Tolerances

Tooth Profile – ±0.03 mm (AGMA Class 8); Bore Fit – H7 (ISO 286)

Bore & Keyway/Spline

Bore Range – 10–150 mm (+0.01/-0 mm); Keyway – ISO 7738 (JIS B 1301); Spline – DIN 5480 (Class 5)

Product Description

In high-cycle operations, an Industrial Sprocket Wheel experiences repeated stress concentrations at the tooth root, leading to fatigue cracking. To counteract this, fillet transitions are profiled with a stress-reducing radius and reinforced using shot-peening to induce compressive surface stress. Low-temperature nitriding improves wear and fatigue resistance, extending operational life beyond 10 million cycles under constant-speed applications with variable tensile loads.

Hub Dimensions

Hub Diameter – 1.2–2x bore size; Runout – ≤0.02 mm TIR

Tooth Hardness

Up to 50–55 HRC (induction hardened, 1–3 mm depth)

Surface Finish

Tooth Flanks – Ra ≤1.6 µm (ground); Bore/Keyway – Ra ≤0.8 µm

Concentricity

Bore-to-Teeth – ≤0.03 mm TIR; Pitch Circle Runout – ≤0.04 mm

Certification Standards

ANSI B29.1 (Precision Chains), ISO 606 (Short-Pitch Transmission Chains), DIN 8187 (Sprocket Dimensions)

Technical Advantages

At elevated rotational speeds, even minor eccentricities in an Industrial Sprocket Wheel can induce harmonic vibrations and alignment errors. Each sprocket is machined using 5-axis CNC centers with concentricity controlled to within 10 µm. Ground tooth profiles and precision pitch circle tolerances reduce meshing deviation, enabling deployment in multi-axis synchronization systems and high-speed automated conveyors.

In corrosive or particle-laden atmospheres, an Industrial Sprocket Wheel must retain dimensional stability and surface integrity over extended duty cycles. Depending on environmental parameters, materials such as AISI 316 stainless steel or duplex alloys are selected for the base. Protective treatments include MoS₂-based PVD coatings, ceramic-infused overlays, and electroless nickel plating to resist pitting, oxidation, and particulate abrasion.

Industry Applications

Automated Conveyor Systems

Industrial Sprocket Wheel ensures synchronized chain movement under variable loads, reducing backlash and chain elongation in continuous material handling systems.

CNC Machine Tool Drives

Maintains consistent chain tension and precise indexing accuracy in spindle positioning and tool change mechanisms operating at high rotational speeds.

Packaging Machinery

Enables exact timing of synchronized multi-axis movements in vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal machines using chain-driven actuation mechanisms.

Textile Processing Equipment

Controls uniform fabric tension during high-speed winding and unwinding operations with anti-slip chain transmission in loom and dyeing machinery.

Agricultural Harvesters

Transmits high-torque drive to cutting and threshing assemblies with resistance to dust ingress and misalignment from field-induced dynamic loads.

Food Processing Lines

Operates under washdown and steam conditions using corrosion-resistant Industrial Sprocket Wheel configurations with sealed bore and food-grade coatings.

Shaft Coupling and Load Transfer Optimization

Improper mounting of an Industrial Sprocket Wheel often results in torsional imbalance and shaft fatigue. Bore interfaces are precision-machined to H7 tolerance and are designed for integration with keyless locking devices or taper bush systems based on transmitted torque. Load transfer simulations ensure uniform distribution across the hub interface, preventing micro-movement and shaft fretting under cyclic reversal.

An Industrial Sprocket Wheel with poorly optimized tooth profiles increases chain articulation stress, accelerating bushing and roller degradation. Using cycloidal geometry and optimized pressure angles, sprocket teeth distribute load evenly across chain links. This reduces the chordal effect, minimizes impact loads at engagement points, and supports longer chain life, even in high-speed or shock-loaded systems.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure dimensional stability in Industrial Sprocket Wheels during continuous operation?

Frigate uses vacuum-degassed alloy steels with low internal stress and uniform grain flow for high structural stability. All sprockets are stress-relieved post-machining to eliminate residual warping during load cycling. Tolerances are held within ±8 µm for critical diameters and pitch references. This reduces thermal expansion mismatch and keeps meshing consistent over long duty cycles.

What methods does Frigate use to validate tooth profile accuracy on Industrial Sprocket Wheels?

Frigate uses coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to scan the full tooth form for pitch accuracy and pressure angle consistency. Tooth surfaces are ground with custom-profiled wheels for micron-level precision. Profile deviation is kept below 12 µm to prevent noise and shock loads. These controls ensure stable engagement in high-speed or multi-sprocket systems.

How are Frigate's Industrial Sprocket Wheels optimized for corrosive or abrasive environments?

Frigate offers materials like AISI 420, EN8 with hard chrome plating, and duplex stainless steel for corrosion-heavy operations. Coatings like MoS₂ PVD and ceramic-infused epoxy are applied based on chemical exposure data. Surface roughness is reduced below Ra 0.8 µm to prevent material adhesion and micro-pitting. This extends service life in food, mining, and marine applications.

What mounting configurations are supported by Frigate’s Industrial Sprocket Wheels for heavy torque transmission?

Frigate provides taper-lock bushings, shrink fits, and spline couplings depending on torque, shaft diameter, and axial load. All bores are machined to ISO H7 standards and dynamically balanced to prevent shaft fatigue. FEM analysis is used to validate stress distribution in keyway or locking interfaces. This ensures reliable transmission even in shock-loaded or bi-directional systems.

How does Frigate reduce chain wear through its Industrial Sprocket Wheel design?

Frigate designs its sprockets with optimized tooth curvature and flank relief to minimize chordal action and reduce roller impact. The profile ensures full roller contact across the pitch angle during motion. Lubrication grooves or dry-lube coatings are used based on chain specifications. This helps extend chain life and reduce replacement intervals in closed-loop systems.
