sprocket centralizer

Sprocket Centralizer - Product Overview

Function & Purpose

A Sprocket Centralizer is a precision mechanical component designed to maintain optimal alignment between sprockets and chains in power transmission systems. Its primary functions include:

• Alignment Control: Ensures sprockets remain concentrically positioned on shafts

• Wear Reduction: Minimizes uneven chain/sprocket wear by preventing misalignment

• Vibration Dampening: Absorbs operational vibrations to enhance system stability

Key Features

✔ Dual-Bearing Design – For enhanced load distribution and rotational accuracy
✔ Adjustable Tolerance Rings – Accommodates minor shaft dimensional variations
✔ Corrosion-Resistant Coating – Typically zinc-plated or stainless steel construction
✔ Modular Installation – Compatible with ANSI/ISO standard sprocket profiles

Industrial Applications

• Conveyor systems in mining/logistics

• Agricultural machinery (combines, tractors)

• Packaging equipment生产线

• Oilfield drilling rig components

Technical Advantages

▸ Extends sprocket service life by 30-40%
▸ Reduces chain slippage incidents by ≥60%
▸ Tolerates axial loads up to 15kN (varies by model)

Selection Parameters

• Shaft Diameter Range: 20mm – 150mm

• Temperature Rating: -30°C to +120°C

• Max RPM: 2,500 (lubricated conditions)

Available as OEM replacements or custom-engineered solutions for specialized applications.
