An Overview of Sprockets

Branscheid sprockets are manufactured from high-quality materials and feature flame- or induction-hardened tooth flanks for maximum wear resistance. CNC-milled contours, split tooth rings, and well-thought-out design details ensure the highest fit accuracy, easy replacement, and long service life—even in the most demanding environments.

Standard sprocket

Stationary sprocket made of C45 (1.0503), for continuous unidirectional conveying.

Ensures optimal contact between the chain links and the drive flanks. The precision-machined hub ensures a perfect fit and stability. Ideal for precise and reliable conveying processes.

Reversible sprocket

Reversible sprocket made of C45 (1.0503), for continuous conveying in two directions.

Specially designed for alternating directions of rotation. This sprocket offers maximum flexibility and precise power transmission. The perfect solution for demanding conveyor chain applications.

Split-type sprocket

Stationary sprocket with a split hub, allowing for installation and removal without having to disassemble the shaft.

Reduces downtime and minimizes maintenance requirements. The robust sprockets ensure efficient operation.
