C2040/C2042 Double Pitch Sprocket is a type of sprocket designed for use with Double Pitch Roller Chains, specifically the C2040 and C2042 series chains. These sprockets are commonly used in various industrial applications where slower speeds and lighter loads are involved.
Here are some key features and characteristics of the C2040/C2042 Double Pitch Sprocket:
Double Pitch Design: The sprocket is specifically designed to accommodate double pitch roller chains, which have longer pitch lengths compared to standard roller chains. This design allows for greater spacing between the chain links, resulting in reduced weight and lower cost.
Compatibility: The C2040/C2042 Double Pitch Sprocket is compatible with C2040 and C2042 series chains. These chains are often used in applications where lighter loads and slower speeds are prevalent, such as conveyor systems, material handling equipment, and agricultural machinery.
Tooth Configuration: The sprocket is equipped with teeth that are designed to engage with the corresponding links of the double pitch chain. The tooth profile and dimensions are carefully engineered to ensure efficient power transmission while minimizing wear and noise.
Material and Construction: The sprocket is typically constructed from durable materials such as steel or alloy, ensuring strength and longevity. It may undergo various treatments or coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and overall performance.
Variations: The C2040/C2042 Double Pitch Sprocket is available in different configurations, including various numbers of teeth, bore sizes, and hub designs. This allows for customization and adaptation to specific application requirements.
