Maintain constant tension on your roller chain to reduce wear and vibration. These sprockets press against the chain to take up slack and rotate freely on bearings to keep the chain moving smoothly. They’re often paired with roller chain tensioners.

For Single Strand

Ball Bearing—Smoother than smooth—the balls inside these bearings roll nearly friction-free to handle high speeds. All are sealed to keep lubricant in and dust out.

Sleeve Bearing—With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are best for dirty environments. They generate more friction than ball bearings, making them less suitable for high-speed applications. Made of porous bronze embedded with oil, all are self-lubricating.

Needle-Roller Bearing—These bearings rotate smoothly under your heaviest loads.

Steel—Steel is strong, but best for dry environments since moisture will cause it to rust.

Wear-Resistant Steel with Hardened Teeth—These sprockets have teeth that are hardened from the tip to the base so they withstand chain contact and wear evenly. That means fewer broken teeth and a longer lifespan than sprockets with unhardened or tip-hardened teeth. Steel is best for dry environments since moisture will cause it to rust.

Plastic Idler Sprockets

Quiet-running, lightweight, and naturally rust resistant. Choose these sprockets for noise-sensitive areas, designs with weight constraints, and machines that require frequent washdowns. All of these sprockets maintain constant tension on your roller chain to reduce wear and vibration. They press against the chain to take up slack and rotate freely on bearings to keep the chain moving smoothly. They’re often paired with roller chain tensioners.
