8. Small and Large Roller Double Pitch Sprockets: Used with double pitch conveyor series roller chains. These chains are available with either the standard small roller diameter (i.e.: 2040, 2050, 2060, 2080, 2100) or a larger diameter chain roller style (i.e.: 2042, 2052, 2062, 2082, 2102). Sprockets are available from stock to accommodate either style. This type of sprocket is primarily used in conveying applications where torque requirements are lower, and long service life is critical.
5. Plain Bore: Associated with “A,” “B”and “C” style sprockets where there is no special machining performed to accommodate keyways or set screws, only a hole to accommodate shaft diameter.

6. Finished Bore: Associated with “B” and “C” style sprockets where the inside diameter of the hub is machined with a standard keyway and two set screws. Finished bore hubs can also be machined to specific requirements depending on the needs of the application.
9. Multiple-Strand Sprockets: This type of sprocket is commonly used in applications where higher torque and power requirements are needed. The spacing between the rows of teeth corresponds with the center-line of chain strands. Due to the added width
of chain, the “LTB” of multiple strand sprockets is correspondingly longer. This style of sprocket is available in 40 through 160 chain pitch with plain, finished or TAPER-LOCK ® /QD ® style hubs.

10. DOUBLE PLUS ® Sprockets: This type of sprocket is specifically designed to work with DOUBLE PLUS ® chain. This style of sprocket is used in conveyor applications where product on the conveyor is propelled at twice speed of the drive system powering the conveyor. The main benefit of incorporating DOUBLE PLUS ® chain and sprockets is less noise and longer chain life.
