China Sprocket & Chain # 41B13T, Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers
Introduction
Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers are an essential component of roller drive chains for power transmission applications. These idlers are used to obtain proper chain tension when neither the driving nor driven shaft is adjustable. They also guide the chain around an obstruction and prevent whipping action in the slack span of the chain transmitting an uneven load. Moreover, these idlers are used to bring about greater chain wrap around a small sprocket, particularly if it is the lower sprocket in a vertical drive. The idler sprockets should not rotate at greater speeds than are allowable for drive sprockets of the same size. They should be mounted in contact with the slack span of the chain.
Common Usage Scenarios
Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers are commonly used in heavy construction equipment, oil field services, and food processing industries. They can be used to guide the chain around an obstruction and prevent whipping action in the slack span of chain transmitting an uneven load. These idlers are also used to provide for reversed direction of rotation of a sprocket in contact with the outside of the chain.
Product History and Benefits
Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers are a product of EVER-POWER GROUP, the largest Chains and Sprocket manufacturer and exporter in China. These idlers are made of machined steel sprockets, hardened teeth, hardened & ground steel journals, and oil-impregnated sintered bronze bushings. The idler sprockets have at least 3 teeth in mesh with the chain and are available with features such as case-hardened and armor-cased pins, pre-stressed process, corrosion and shock resistance, and stainless steel materials. These idlers provide post-sale support services, ensuring their longevity and durability in power transmission applications.
Materials that can be used with the product
Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers are compatible with all steel tighteners and are suitable for use with ANSI chain No. 41.
How to Install, Maintain, and Repair the Product
When installing Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers, mount them on the outside of the chain when the arc of chain wrap on the smaller sprocket would otherwise be less than 120°. For quieter operation, especially if centers are short and speed is moderately high, use inside mounted idlers. The idler rpm should not exceed 2500, and radial loading should be less than 50 pounds. To maintain and repair the product, regularly check the idler sprockets’ teeth and replace them if they are worn or damaged.
How to Replace the Product
To replace Bronze Bushed Sprocket Idlers, loosen the bolts or screws that hold the idler in place and remove it. Install the new idler and tighten the bolts or screws. Ensure that the idler sprocket is mounted in contact with the slack span of the chain and does not rotate at greater speeds than allowable for drive sprockets of the same size.
