Duplex Sprocket

About Duplex Sprocket

A duplex sprocket is a type of sprocket designed to work with duplex (double-strand) roller chains. These chains have two parallel rows of rollers, so the sprocket must have two sets of teeth to mesh with both rows. Here's a quick breakdown:

Key Features of a Duplex Sprocket:

• Two rows of teeth to match duplex chain links.

• Designed for transmitting higher loads than simplex (single-strand) sprockets.

• Typically made of steel or hardened materials for durability.

• Available in various sizes and pitch options, depending on the application.

Common Applications:

• Heavy-duty conveyors

• Industrial machinery

• Agricultural equipment

• Motorcycles or automotive systems, where extra strength is needed
