Part Name: Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Name: Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Code: RS40-1B-18T
Usage: This sprocket is used in glass manufacturing conveyors for transporting glass panels through production lines.
Application of Glass Conveyor Sprocket
Purpose-Built for Glass Conveying Lines:
Engineered for use in glass manufacturing and processing conveyors — such as those in Asahi India Glass, Saint-Gobain, and similar facilities — where precision and smooth handling are critical.
Gentle and Consistent Material Flow:
Transfers glass panels seamlessly between cutting, washing, tempering, and coating stages, minimizing vibration and eliminating risk of cracks or surface damage.
Precision Bore and Keyway Design:
Machined with a 50 mm H7 bore and 14 mm js9 keyway to ensure perfect alignment and minimal vibration, maintaining stability even at high conveyor speeds.
Optimized for Smooth Power Transmission:
The simplex sprocket design supports lightweight chain drive systems, providing low-shock operation ideal for handling delicate glass sheets with precision.
Durable and Corrosion-Resistant Build:
Manufactured from EN9 steel with black oxide or zinc plating for enhanced wear resistance and long-term reliability in continuous 24/7 production environments.
Induction-Hardened Teeth:
Each tooth is heat-treated for superior strength and extended lifespan, ensuring consistent torque delivery and minimal maintenance requirements.
Summary
The Glass Conveyor Sprocket offers precision, durability, and stability—making it ideal for automotive, architectural, and solar glass conveyor systems where flawless handling and reliability are essential.
