Product Highlights
✔ High-Capacity Design
Engineered for maximum power transmission with optimised tooth geometry that ensures smooth chain engagement and minimal energy loss across the full speed range.
🛡 Extended Service Life
Premium steel construction combined with precision heat treatment delivers exceptional wear resistance, reducing replacement frequency and total cost of ownership.
⚙ Versatile Mounting
Multiple hub configurations and bore options ensure compatibility with a wide range of shaft sizes, bearing arrangements, and installation constraints.
🔧 Maintenance-Friendly
Designed for straightforward inspection, lubrication, and replacement, minimising the skills and tools required for routine maintenance operations.
Chain & Accessory Compatibility
This sprocket is compatible with all ANSI-standard roller chains of the corresponding series numbers listed above. Compatible accessories include standard taper bushings, QD bushings (where applicable), split taper bushings, shaft collars, and pillow-block or flange-mount bearings. Shaft bore ranges are determined by the chain number and hub configuration — refer to our detailed catalogue or contact engineering for specific bore availability.
Selection Guide
Select by Chain Number
Identify the chain series number stamped on your chain side plates. Match it to the sprocket series number for guaranteed compatibility. Use the same series for driver and driven sprockets.
Select by Application Demands
Light-duty conveyors and packaging: No.35–50. General industrial and agricultural drives: No.50–80. Heavy aggregate, mining, and steel processing: No.80–140. Extreme-load applications: No.140–200.
Select by Load Capacity
Calculate your design horsepower, apply the appropriate service factor (1.0 for uniform load, 1.3 for moderate shock, 1.5+ for heavy shock), then consult the ANSI horsepower rating tables for the minimum chain pitch and strand count that meets or exceeds your requirement.

Customer Success Stories
★★★★★ Coca-Cola Amatil — Sydney, Australia
“Our bottling conveyors run kilometres of double-pitch chain. Ever-power sprockets ensured zero jam incidents over a full production season.”
★★★★☆ Siemens Logistics — Nuremberg, Germany
“Baggage handling systems at two major airports use these sprockets. Quiet operation and long life are essential.”
★★★★★ Reliance Industries — Jamnagar, India
“Refinery product conveyors run 24/7. The Dacromet-coated double-pitch sprockets resisted chemical exposure excellently.”
★★★★★ JBS Foods — São Paulo, Brazil
“Meat processing lines need washdown-safe components. Zinc-plated options hold up well in our high-humidity environment.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between standard roller and carrier roller double pitch chains?
Standard roller (e.g., 2040) uses standard-size rollers matching the base chain. Carrier roller (e.g., 2042) uses larger rollers that protrude above the side plates, designed to carry products directly on the chain.
Can I use a standard-pitch sprocket with double-pitch chain?
No. Double-pitch chains have twice the pitch of their standard equivalent, so standard sprockets will not engage correctly.
What tooth counts are available?
Typically 9T to 30T, depending on the series. Lower tooth counts provide compact driver sprockets.
Are these suitable for incline conveyors?
Yes, when used with appropriate chain attachments. For steep inclines, consider adding cleats or flights to the chain.
How do I distinguish 2040 from C2040?
The C prefix denotes a cottered (riveted) chain construction, commonly used in conveyor applications. Both use the same sprocket.

Installation Procedure
- Shaft Cleaning: Remove rust, grease, and old adhesive from the shaft surface using emery cloth and solvent.
- Bushing Preparation: Inspect the bushing bore and taper for damage. Apply a thin film of anti-seize compound to the taper surface.
- Assembly: Place the bushing into the sprocket hub, align the bolt holes, and finger-tighten the cap screws.
- Positioning: Slide the assembly onto the shaft to the desired axial position.
- Tightening: Torque cap screws evenly in a star pattern to the manufacturer’s specified value.
- Verification: Spin the shaft by hand and verify free rotation. Check alignment with a straight edge or laser.
Maintenance & Care
Perform visual inspection of tooth profiles weekly. Lubricate the chain with ISO VG 100 oil every 500 hours. Measure chain elongation monthly — replace at 3% stretch. If tooth flank wear exceeds 0.5 mm beyond the original profile template, replace the sprocket. Always replace chain and sprocket as a matched set.
