Fluent supplies OEM and custom conveyor sprockets for our conveyors and general replacement. Machined and hardened sprockets for roller chain conveyors and ANSI sprockets for radial stacker swivel systems. Custom configurations available.
We carry precision sprockets in multiple configurations to match your chain pitch, drive requirements, and application.
ANSI-standard sprockets for radial stacker conveyors and other applications.
Sprockets for roller chain conveyors and other heavy-duty applications.

Durable roller chain sprockets designed for smooth power transmission and reliable performance.
Match these specifications to your application requirements. For detailed selection guidance, see roller chain sprockets and ANSI sprockets.
The sprocket must match your chain pitch. Sprockets for roller chain conveyors are specified by pitch measurement (4-inch, 6-inch, and 9-inch are the most common configurations). ANSI sprockets follow the ANSI B29.1 series standard, where the series number corresponds to a defined pitch. Mismatched pitch prevents full tooth engagement and accelerates wear on both the sprocket and chain.
Select the tooth count based on your speed and torque requirements. Dividing the driven sprocket's tooth count by the driver's tooth count gives the drive ratio. Fewer teeth on the drive sprocket increase belt speed and reduce torque; more teeth produce the opposite effect. For heavy-duty applications, larger-diameter sprockets with more teeth distribute load across more contact points, reducing wear per tooth.
The bore must match your shaft diameter. Mounting options include keyed bores for a positive drive connection, QD (quick-detachable) bushings for fast removal without shaft disassembly, taper-lock bushings for a secure friction fit in heavy-duty applications, and split hub designs where shaft removal is not practical. Confirm shaft diameter, keyway dimensions, and available clearance before specifying a hub configuration.
Steel is standard for most industrial applications. For abrasive materials, sprockets with hardened tooth profiles extend service life. Stainless steel is available for washdown environments, food processing, and chemical handling. Contact us if your application involves extreme temperatures or corrosive conditions.
Fluent manufactures sprockets to customer specifications when standard configurations don't meet application requirements. Our in-house production accommodates non-standard pitch sizes, custom tooth counts, specialized materials, unique bore sizes and mounting configurations, modified hub styles, and specific heat treatment options.
Custom sprockets are engineered to match your chain type, load requirements, and operating environment. Contact our engineering team to discuss your application.
Install sprockets on the same plane as the shaft. Misalignment causes premature wear, increased noise, and reduced power transmission. Secure mounting bolts to manufacturer-specified torque values (typically stamped on bushings or available in installation documentation). Check chain engagement and tooth contact across the sprocket face before operation.
Replace sprockets and chains together when possible. New chains on worn sprockets (or vice versa) accelerate wear on both components. Follow inspection schedules based on operating hours and material conditions.
keep your system running smoothly.
Inspect sprockets during regular maintenance intervals for wear indicators:
Employee safety should always be a top priority when working with conveyors. Routine training reduces the risk of workplace accidents and encourages adherence to operational best practices.
Equip your conveyor with OSHA-approved protective guarding and emergency stops, and establish clear lockout/tagout procedures to prevent accidents during maintenance and repair tasks.
Fluent manufactures custom conveyors for the most demanding industrial applications. Our product selection is based on years of real-world performance experience. Whether you need OEM sprockets for a Fluent system or sourced components for other equipment, our team can help.
