Sprocket Style Drive Units |

Sprocket style drive units are designed
for installation at a horizontal turn. They are normally supplied with a
36" pitch diameter sprocket which directly engages the conveyor action.
Other common sprocket sizes are available. The large sprocket sizes
utilized with this style drive impose greater torque requirements on the
reducer. As a result, larger reducer sizes are necessary for a given
chain pull than for comparably rated caterpillar drives.
Standard track configurations are 90°
and 180 ° as illustrated. The same design considerations relating to
load clearances and sizing of horizontal turns must also be applied to
sprocket drives. Power train components to suit any specific application
can be supplied. More specific application information regarding
sprocket drives is available on application. |
