Conveyor chains consist of many journal bearings, held together by link plates. A journal bearing is made up of a bearing pin and bush, on which the chain roller revolves. These are case-hardened to handle high pressures, heavy loads, and stress from chain roller gears.
Most sprockets are one-piece and are usually parallel or taper keyed to a through shaft, requiring that the shaft be removed when removing the sprockets. Split-type sprockets are also available, allowing sprockets to be replaced without having to remove the shaft, saving time and labor costs.
Hoffmeyer provides specialized conveyor chains to a wide variety of industries, including meatpacking, automotive, construction, baking, packaging, aluminum, pipe-curing, lumber, water treatment, and steel.
The primary purpose of a conveyor chain sprocket is to transfer power to a chain; however, they also guide and support it. Conveyor chain sprockets may be made from cast iron or fabricated steel. For the heaviest loads, carbon steel sprockets may be required, and/or flame-hardened tooth flanks. Special applications require a variety of other sprocket materials, such as stainless steel.
Hoffmeyer carries a wide selection of Link-Belt chains including flat-top or crescent style.
