Double Single Sprocket

Understanding Double Single Sprockets

A double single sprocket is essentially two separate single-strand sprockets, typically of the same pitch and tooth count, that are either precisely welded together or machined from a single piece of material with a specific, defined gap between the two sets of teeth. Its primary purpose is to engage and drive two independent, parallel single-strand roller chains simultaneously from one drive shaft.

Key Characteristics & Advantages:

• Synchronized Drive: Ensures that two separate chains move at the exact same speed, crucial for coordinated operations. Ideal for synchronized-drive-sprocket needs.
• Space Efficiency: More compact than installing two completely separate single sprockets with individual hubs and mounting hardware.
• Simplified Design: Allows driving two parallel chain systems from a single motor/gearbox output.
• Construction: Can be fabricated by welding two standard sprockets to a common hub or machined from a solid blank for superior concentricity and strength.
• Chain Compatibility: Designed for use with standard ANSI or BS/ISO single-strand roller chains.

Applications:

Double single sprockets are commonly used in packaging machinery, printing presses, synchronized conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, and any application requiring the coordinated driving of two parallel chain runs.
