Part Name: Duplex Sprockets for Steel Slit Coil Machine
Part Code: RS80-2B-17T
Usage: This Sprocket is used in steel slit coil (slitting) machines.

Application Explanation

Why this sprocket is used:

• In steel slit coil (slitting) machines, handling of heavy steel coils demands robust and durable drive components.
• The duplex (double-strand) sprocket transmits more power and distributes the load efficiently across two chains, reducing wear and risk of failure even under very heavy coil weight.
• The teeth are shaped for positive chain engagement, as per international standards (DIN), to prevent skipping and increase reliability.

• Steel coils are extremely heavy (sometimes several tons each). When these coils are being moved, uncoiled, or slit inside a machine, the drive system must overcome massive starting inertia and maintain smooth movement.
• A large pitch circle diameter and wide face help handle high torque and minimize chain deflection or failure.
• The hardened and zinc-plated surface increases the sprocket's life by offering resistance to both high surface pressure and corrosion (important due to the oily, wet, or chemically aggressive environments typically found around slit coil processing equipment).

• Steel processing machinery manufacturers (e.g., slit coil/slitting machine makers) use these sprockets in their coil feeding, leveling, recoiling, and slitting lines.
• Typical companies in India and globally using such sprockets: Umadevi Engineers, Nirmal Overseas, Lotos (India/China), Palson, Yoder, FIMI, Bradbury, and others specializing in heavy-duty metal coil processing equipment.

Summary

This RS80-2B-17T duplex sprocket is engineered for maximum power transmission and durability in the most demanding, heavy-duty industrial environments of the steel coil slitting industry, designed as per DIN international standards for long life and reliability.
