Double Pitch Sprocket

double-pitch sprocket is a type of sprocket designed to work with double-pitch roller chains. Double-pitch roller chains have twice the pitch (distance between pin centers) of standard roller chains, resulting in larger chain components and sprocket teeth. Double-pitch sprockets are specifically engineered to accommodate these larger chain sizes.

Key features of double-pitch sprockets include:

Larger Tooth Profile: Sprocket teeth are elongated to match the larger links of double-pitch chains.

Pitch Adjustment: The spacing between sprocket teeth corresponds to the chain's pitch to ensure proper engagement.

Reduced Number of Teeth: Due to the longer pitch of the chain, double-pitch sprockets typically have fewer teeth compared to standard sprockets.

Special Applications: Commonly used in conveyor systems, material handling equipment, and other applications requiring long spans and slower speeds.

Increased Weight and Size: Both the sprockets and chains are larger and heavier than standard roller chain components.

Compatibility: Double-pitch sprockets are designed to work seamlessly with double-pitch roller chains to transmit power efficiently.

In summary, double-pitch sprockets are essential components in systems utilizing double-pitch roller chains, providing the necessary interface to ensure smooth and reliable power transmission in specific industrial applications.
