Split Roller Chain Sprockets

Split Sprockets Description

Split sprockets come into their own when the engineering time taken to remove sprockets involves the dismantling of large parts of the drive or when multiple sprockets are fitted on the same shaft. When it comes to conveyor chain sprockets which are often large and heavy this may require the use of a crane to get the sprocket into place. All these issues can lead to increased downtime.

Why Use Split Roller Chain Sprockets？

Split sprockets are ideal, especially in areas where workspace is limited. They are simple and easy to assemble in hard-to-reach areas. Our range of split sprockets for conveyors and woodworking chains allows the sprockets to be assembled without the need to disassemble the shaft assembly.

Large sprockets such as conveyor chain sprockets weigh hundreds of kilograms and are difficult to handle and install. A crane is usually required to lift the sprocket into place for installation. This is where the split sprockets and bolts on the segmented teeth come into play. Our customers no longer need a crane to install the sprockets as split sprockets can now be manually installed for installation.

Split Roller Chain Sprocket Types

There are two types of split roller sprockets, B-hub و C-hub. B-hub sprockets have a hub on one side and are the most common split sprocket configuration. C-hub sprockets are available in two sizes of hubs, these are more common in larger diameter and extreme load applications.

（The one on the left is the B-hub and the one on the right is the C-hub)

Many split sprocket manufacturers produce this type of product by splitting an existing sprocket and then joining the two sections together again. For the engineer, this often results in a poorly assembled component leading to uneven loading in operation and increased wear to the sprocket teeth, bore and keyways.

The first step to make a split sprocket involves design the size of bore (if necessary).
The second step is to turn the sprocket before inserting one or two set screws into it.
Then the sprocket machine divided into two pieces.
The bolts are then placed and bolts are put into the sprockets so it can be cut and reassembled into an unbreakable piece.
