Idler Sprockets
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.

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

Pair this chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts. Like the chain on a bike, the side plates have a figure-eight shape that grips the sprockets without slipping.
Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication.
Steel—The go-to for roller chain, steel is strong and economical. While proper lubrication helps prevent rusting, it’s not as corrosion resistant as coated or stainless steel.
Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—Combines the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to withstand 500 hours of salt spray, so it holds up well in wet and outdoor conditions.
Connecting Link—Use a single link to join both ends of your chain. Start by removing the spring clip from the link’s side plate. Then, slide the link pins into the mating rollers at each end of your chain and snap the clip back on. Also known as master links.
Adding Link—Attach with a connecting link to extend the length of your chain. Each link adds a length equal to the chain’s pitch. Also known as roller
links.
Adding-and-Connecting Link—An all-in-one link for adding and connecting. It adds a half-pitch length at the roller end, allowing finer length adjustments than full-pitch links. The pin end connects to your chain—except for trade number 25, which requires a separate connecting link. Remove
the side plate to install. Also known as half links and offset links.
