Explore Our Range
Chain sprockets are essential components in many power transmission systems, working in tandem with chains to efficiently transfer power in various industrial applications. Our comprehensive range of chain sprockets caters to diverse needs across multiple industries. We offer two main standards of chain sprockets:
British Standard Chain Sprockets
British Standard (BS) chain sprockets are widely used in many Australian industries due to their robust design and compatibility with BS chains. Our range includes:
- Simplex Sprockets: Designed for single-strand chains, these are the most common type used in general industrial applications.
- Duplex Sprockets: These sprockets work with double-strand chains, offering increased strength and load-bearing capacity.
- Triplex Sprockets: For heavy-duty applications, these sprockets accommodate triple-strand chains, providing maximum power transmission capabilities.
- Taper Lock Sprockets: These versatile sprockets use a taper lock bush system, allowing for easy installation and removal on various shaft sizes.
- Pilot Bore Sprockets: These sprockets come with an unfinished bore, allowing for custom machining to fit specific shaft sizes
American Standard Chain Sprockets
American Standard (ANSI) chain sprockets are also popular in Australia, particularly in certain industries and for equipment imported from North America. Our ANSI sprocket range includes:
- Standard Roller Chain Sprockets: Compatible with ANSI standard roller chains, these sprockets are available in various sizes and configurations.
- Heavy Duty Sprockets: Designed for high-load applications, these sprockets offer enhanced durability and performance.
- Idler Sprockets: These sprockets are used to guide or tension the chain in complex drive systems.
Both our British and American Standard chain sprockets are available in various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, to suit different environmental conditions and application requirements.

FAQs
What's the difference between British and American Standard chain sprockets?
Sprockets are not always easy to identify, but all sprockets should be stamped with a part number, which identifies whether they are British Standard or American Standard.
Chain is easier to identify, as all modern chains have the part number stamped on every outer side plate.
British Standard common sizes are 05B, 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B,16B, 20B, 24B, 28B, 32B, 40B.
American Standard common sizes are 25, 35, 40, 41, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160. 200.
The dimensions of a chain that can be measured are the pitch (centre to centre of the pins), roller diameter, width between the inner plates and side plate thickness.
How do I determine the correct size of chain sprocket I need?
The size depends on factors like the chain pitch, number of teeth required, bore size, and the power to be transmitted. Our team can help you calculate the correct size based on these factors.
Can chain sprockets be used in high-speed applications?
Yes, but for high-speed applications, factors like heat generation and lubrication become crucial. Special considerations may be needed in sprocket design and material selection.
