Double Pitch Sprocket

Understanding Double Pitch Sprockets

Double pitch sprockets are designed to mesh with double pitch roller chains, which have link plates with twice the pitch length of standard ANSI roller chains but maintain the same roller diameter, pin diameter, and plate thickness. This extended pitch design offers several advantages for specific applications:

Key Characteristics:

• Extended Pitch: The primary feature is having twice the pitch of a comparable standard sprocket/chain (e.g., a C2080H chain/sprocket has double the pitch of an ANSI 80 chain/sprocket).
• Chain Types: Designed for use with either:
  • Standard Roller Double Pitch Chain: Uses standard diameter rollers (e.g., C2040, C2050, C2060H).
  • Carrier Roller Double Pitch Chain: Uses larger diameter carrier rollers, often used directly on conveyor supports (e.g., C2042, C2052, C2062H).
• Tooth Form: Sprockets with an even number of teeth typically have a "double cut" tooth form, engaging every other chain roller. Sprockets with an odd number of teeth, or those designed for carrier roller chains, often have a "single cut" form, engaging every roller.
• Weight & Cost Savings: For long conveyor runs, double pitch chains are lighter and often more cost-effective than using standard pitch chains.

Advantages:

• Ideal for long center distance conveyor applications.
• Lighter chain weight compared to standard pitch for similar strength.
• Cost-effective solution for many conveying tasks.
